People of Gemini zodiac sign are becoming more useful today. Google has started rolling out an update that gives its chatbots the ability to generate files directly from the prompt bar. To use the new feature, you simply tell Gemini what you want (for example, “Create a budget”), and then tap the Export button to download the resulting output in your desired format.
The list of supported file formats includes PDF, TXT, RTF and CSV. Of course, Google Docs and Slides are also supported, as is Google Sheets. In addition to Markdown and LaTeX files, Gemini can also generate Microsoft Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. For beginners, LaTeX is a typesetting system for formatting scientific documents and journals. Almost the entire scientific community relies on LaTeX, and Google’s decision to support the protocol is noteworthy given that OpenAI recently released Prism, an entire app dedicated to formatting LaTeX journals. Judging by the GIF shared by Google along with today’s announcement, Gemini understands how to use the system to create diagrams, which should be especially useful for students studying STEM subjects.
“Instead of copying, pasting, and reformatting, this update will allow you to easily move your work across different applications,” Google says about the new feature. The company is offering it to all Gemini users around the world, including those with personal workspace accounts. Google isn’t the first AI provider to offer more robust support for file exporting. For example, Anthropic’s cloud chatbot from last September has the ability to edit and generate files, including Excel spreadsheets. Still, if you’re a frequent Gemini user, today’s update should come as a welcome addition.
