- Gemini for Android is now a valid target on the Android share sheet, letting you share files from any app directly to the AI assistant for analysis.
- You can now also upload up to ten files simultaneously for analysis.
The Gemini vs Google Assistant debate on Android will continue for a while, but it’s clear that Google is marching forward with its vision for Gemini as a utilitarian AI assistant. One of the better use cases for AI is the ability to analyze long files and give you summaries and other information. You can already use the Gemini for Android app to analyze files with AI, but Google is making it more convenient to do so by now letting you use the Android share sheet.
In previous versions of Gemini, if you needed to analyze a file, you opened the Gemini app and used the Add files button (the ‘plus’ button) on the left of the text box to select whether to upload a file from your device or your Google Drive.
