======================================================================

In a welcome update for office workers seeking productivity boosts, Google 
Workspace has announced its Gemini AI platform will now support even more 
document types. 

The company confirmed that text files, including TXT, DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF, 
DOT, DOTX, HWP, HWPX, and data files, such as XLS, XLSX, CSV, TSV, as well as 
its own Google Docs and Google Sheets formats. 

Paying users with a Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, or Education 
Premium license will be among the first to benefit from the update. Google 
has not indicated whether the free version of Gemini will eventually get 
wider document support. Gemini supports more upload types 

By uploading documents to support prompts, users can give the AI chatbot 
additional context to provide a more personalized answer. Though the services 
main rival, ChatGPT, supports a variety of file uploads, Gemini currently 
only supports image uploads for free users. 

For files uploaded directly from Google Drive , users must be owners or have 
the correct permissions to use them in Gemini. 

IT admins must enable support for Google Drive integration by toggling on 
Workspace extensions in the Gemini settings, however local file upload will 
be supported by default for eligible accounts. 

Each file must be less than 100MB in size, and a maximum of 10 files may be 
uploaded in a single prompt. 

With the rollout starting on August 27, all eligible accounts should now have 
access to the handy tool. 

Moreover, by paying for an upgraded Gemini account such as Gemini Business, 
employees get access to Googles generative AI functionality across more 
interfaces, including directly within core Workspace apps like Gmail, Docs, 
Slides, Sheets and Meet. Paid plans also unlock access to more advanced 
models, with the free consumer-facing version limited to 1.5 Flash. More from
