Hi everyone!
Gemini App keeps choosing to go broad.
This update brings the output much closer to everyday workflows: Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, Word, Excel, CSV, Markdown, LaTeX, and more can now be generated directly inside the chat. No more copying a good answer, pasting it elsewhere, and fixing the formatting by hand.
That says a lot about Gemini app’s direction. It is trying to be a wider productivity surface that fits into the apps and file formats people already use every day.
@zaczuo How has this file generation feature changed your own daily workflow; like, are you using it to skip back-and-forth between chat and Google Docs more often now?
The LaTeX support is the interesting one here. Generating a `.tex` file is easy enough, but does it come pre-structured with proper packages declared in the preamble, or is it more of a raw content dump that still needs a working template wrapped around it before it'll actually compile?
