Google's Gemini update lets users ask questions about PDFs on mobile devices

Google's Gemini has introduced a new feature that allows users to ask questions about PDFs on mobile devices. This update, available to Gemini Advanced subscribers, enables users to interact with PDF content directly through the Files by Google app. Users can now click a button labeled "Ask about this PDF" while viewing a document. This allows them to request summaries or explanations, enhancing how they engage with digital files. Previously, Gemini could only answer questions about web pages and videos. The PDF recognition feature is part of a broader effort to make Gemini more context-aware. Users can also ask questions about other content by taking screenshots, making Gemini a more versatile tool for managing information across devices.
