Google Gemini adds inline generation and editing for Docs, Sheets, Slides and PDFs

Google has added the ability to generate, preview and edit PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, slide decks, Markdown, TXT and code files directly within the Gemini chat app. PDF previews and editing work on both web and mobile, while the other formats are currently available only in the web version; the feature is rolling out to all Gemini users starting today and supports full‑screen editing and contextual actions (e.g., highlight a table and ask Gemini to convert it into a graph).

8th graders at Carriel Junior High used Google Gemini to build first school newscast

Teachers report the tools acted as creative partners that expanded students' ability to brainstorm and iterate rather than replacing their creativity.
