Google has introduced new features for its Gemini AI, particularly for Gemini Advanced subscribers. These users can now upload up to 10 files to their custom Gems (personalized AI chatbots) to provide more tailored and contextually relevant responses. Supported file types include PDFs, documents, text files, and even code extensions. This feature is available through Google One and Google Workspace, allowing users to upload files from their local storage or Google Drive. The files serve as a knowledge base, enabling the Gem to reference them when responding to queries, which can be useful for tasks like content creation or answering business-related questions.
Additionally, Gemini is now available for teen students (13+) using Google Workspace for Education. This rollout aims to equip younger users with AI tools while ensuring enhanced data protection. Education administrators can manage access via the Google Workspace Admin console. This move reflects Google's commitment to preparing students for a future where generative AI plays a significant role in learning and creativity.
These updates are part of Google's broader strategy to integrate AI into its Workspace products, providing Gemini Advanced subscribers with tools that enhance productivity and customization while maintaining high levels of security and privacy.
