Gemini helps you sort your Drive

Thus, Google indicated that it had extended the possibility of Gemini to read documents; until now, AI could only do this for one file at a time. From now on, she will be able to consult several elements simultaneously. A new feature which will allow, for example, to summarize an entire file in a single pass, in order to identify where what is located within your storage. Be careful though, this will still only work for text documents, and therefore will not be able to support elements including media.

In broad terms therefore, the novelty will notably introduce the possibility:

  • To ask Gemini to summarize a file
  • To tell you what is in a file

An update coming soon

For now, if you are a Google Workspace user, you may not yet have access to the feature. No worries, it only began its deployment phase on December 11. In the update note, the Google teams indicate that it will be gradually made available by the end of December.

Finally, last detail, but not least, this new feature for Gemini will only be accessible to Google Workspace users subscribed to one of the following plans:

  • Google One AI Premium
  • Gemini Business
  • Gemini Enterprise
  • Gemini Education
  • Gemini Education Premium

Good sorting!
