Google is reportedly enhancing Gemini Live’s ability to comprehend documents, suggesting that it may soon take on the role of managing and collaborating on your files.
Recent information from Android Authority suggests that users will soon have the capability to upload files directly into Gemini Advanced while using Gemini Live.
In the current Gemini chat interface, users are able to upload files, with additional benefits for Gemini Advanced subscribers who can have the AI analyze or edit those files.
Exploring the latest Google app beta (version 15.45.33.ve.arm64), Android Authority discovered intriguing code hinting at forthcoming file handling features for Gemini Live, with a new “Talk about attachment” feature offering a novel way to engage with uploaded documents.
The code within the Google app implies that Gemini may identify file uploads, whether direct or through Google Drive, and encourage users to switch to Gemini Live for discussions about the uploaded files.
Further code within the Google app indicates options like “Open Live with attachment,” implying that users might be directed to Gemini Live after uploading a file.
While not confirmed, it appears that Gemini Live will likely focus on interactive discussions, allowing users to delve into the key points of their documents in a conversational manner.
The ability to modify attachments will likely remain a feature reserved for Gemini Advanced users in the standard chat interface.
Currently inactive, the feature’s interaction with files remains unclear. There is no official release timeline, and testing has not begun. This leaves room for further development, and we eagerly anticipate seeing how it progresses.
