Google has integrated its Gemini AI chatbot into the Files by Google app on Android devices running Android 15. When users open a PDF document, Gemini analysis is automatically pulled up with the option to “Ask about this PDF.” Users can then type in their query and receive natural language responses.
The feature uses the chat overlay’s screen gesture or power button shortcut to integrate the PDF attachment into the chatbot for processing. Digital Trends tested the feature on a Pixel 9, finding it to work flawlessly with scientific research papers.
Gemini’s PDF analysis facility is available only on Android 15 and requires Gemini Advanced access. However, users can still benefit from similar AI convenience using free tool NotebookLM, which also parses information from files and URLs.
