Tired of endlessly scrolling through PDFs on your phone, desperately searching for that one piece of information? Google’s Gemini AI has a solution. A new update brings on-device PDF recognition directly to the Files by Google app, changing how we interact with digital documents on mobile.

Imagine quickly extracting key data from complex contracts, research papers, or even recipes, just by asking Gemini a question. This is now a reality for Gemini Advanced subscribers.

Here’s how it works: While viewing a PDF in the Files app, a simple “Ask about this PDF” button appears when you activate Gemini. Tap it, ask your question, and Gemini intelligently pulls the answer from the document.

This update is a game-changer for mobile productivity, offering benefits for:

  • Students: Streamlining research by instantly finding key concepts and data.
  • Professionals: Simplifying document analysis and contract reviews.
  • Everyone: Making everyday tasks like finding instructions in manuals or ingredients in recipes much faster.

This feature builds on Gemini’s existing context-aware abilities, which already extend to web pages and YouTube videos. Now, this powerful AI is available for your locally stored files, significantly enhancing the mobile user experience.
