Google’s Gemini AI will summarize PDFs for you when you open them


Google is rolling out new Gemini AI features for Workspace users that make it easier to find information in PDFs and form responses. The Gemini-powered file summarization capabilities in Google Drive have now expanded to PDFs and Google Forms, allowing key details and insights to be condensed into a more convenient format that saves users from manually digging through the files.
Gemini will proactively create summary cards when users open a PDF in their drive and present clickable actions based on its contents, such as “draft a sample proposal” or “list interview questions based on this resume.” Users can select any of these options to make Gemini perform the desired task in the Drive side panel. The feature is available in more than 20 languages and started rolling out to Google Workspace users on June 12th, though it may take a couple of weeks to appear.
A similar Gemini Feature for Google Forms will summarize responses to short-answer or paragraph questions, referencing the form title, description, questions, and replies to highlight key themes and takeaways. The option will appear in the Responses tab when questions receive more than three responses. The feature is only launching in English “at this time.” General availability for Workspace users will start rolling out on June 26th.
There’s also a new “help me create” Gemini feature in Google Forms that automatically creates forms based on user descriptions. Workspace users can reference supporting Docs, Sheets, Slides, or PDFs in their prompts to have Gemini incorporate those details. For example, a carpentry company could import its product catalogue into the feature to generate a quote estimation form to send to customers.
The feature is available in English and will start rolling out to regular Workspace domains on July 7th.
