Gemini AI finds a place on the Android share sheet - Neowin
Google's AI assistant, Gemini, has recently introduced a new "Memory" feature that allows users to share personal details, preferences, likes/dislikes to receive a personalized response from the AI assistant. This enhancement aims to provide a more tailored experience for users interacting with Gemini.
Now, Google is taking steps to make the AI assistant more accessible to Android users by integrating Gemini into the Android share sheet. This strategic move makes it easier for Android users to utilize the capabilities of Gemini directly from their devices.
Enhanced Functionality for Android Users
The latest update to the Gemini Android app (v1.0.686588308) includes the ability to upload files for analysis seamlessly. Previously, users had to go through multiple steps to upload a file for processing, such as summarizing a document. With the new update, this process has been streamlined, making it more efficient for users.
With Gemini now available on the Android share sheet, users can simply select the file they want to analyze, choose Gemini from the share options, and prompt the AI to analyze the content. Gemini has the capacity to analyze up to ten files simultaneously, offering users a convenient way to leverage its capabilities.
Supported file extensions for analysis by Gemini include:
- .docx
- .txt
Improved User Experience
By integrating Gemini into the Android share sheet, Google has eliminated the need for users to switch between apps to access the AI assistant. This integration simplifies the workflow for tasks like summarizing content or conducting analyses, enhancing the overall user experience.
Android users can benefit from this new feature by updating to the latest version of the Gemini Android app available on the Google Play Store. For iOS users, Gemini offers similar AI capabilities through the newly released official Gemini iOS app.
