Gemini app can now generate Google Docs, PDF, Word, and other files

You can now ask the Gemini app to directly generate “downloadable and ready-to-share files.” Google wants you to “quickly move from a brainstorm to a complete file without ever leaving the Gemini app.”

The Gemini app supports creating Workspace files (Docs, Sheets, and Slides), PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, LaTeX, TXT (Plain Text), RTF (Rich Text Format), and MD (Markdown).

Example use cases include:

  • Export your budget proposal to a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file
  • Arrange loose ideas into a bulleted draft or consolidate a lengthy collaboration into a single-page PDF or Microsoft Word (.docx)

In the example above, the prompt after uploading several pages of written notes is: “Create an in-depth study guide as a PDF in LaTeX format using my lecture notes. Include visuals, graphs, and equations.”

The idea is to cut down on manually copying, pasting, and reformatting text or data. This capability is “now available to all Gemini app users globally.”

In other updates today, the Gemini app’s personalization features are coming to the UK. These include Memories, where “Gemini remembers key details and preferences you’ve shared,” and the ability to import chats from other AI apps. Both features will be fully rolled out in the “next couple of weeks.”
