Google Adds File Upload Support for Gems in Gemini

Google is adding file upload support for Gems in Gemini, along with a series of premade Gems that are specific to business uses for Gemini for Workspace add-on subscribers. Google says that Gems in Gemini has “been one of the most used Gemini Advanced features.”

Starting today, file upload support for Gems in Gemini is rolling out to all subscribers of Gemini Advanced (included in a Gemini for Google Workspace plan). With this, users will be equipping the Gem to provide more tailored and contextually relevant responses.

Files serve as source material to help your Gems provide accurate and relevant responses. Referencing your files in your Gems can unlock a new level of customization, such as answering questions based on your files, assisting in content creation, or addressing business needs. Starting in English, this feature is available for Gemini Advanced subscribers via Google One and Google Workspace.
