- Google Workspace increases the token context window to 1m for gemini in pdfs
- Users can now analyze larger files, whether they are text or table-based
- Gemini for educational users also get a higher limit, free
Google has made a small but mighty improvement in how Gemini interacts with your PDFs within Google Drive, and it all centers around a 1 m -token context window for deeper interactions with better answers.
The company said Gemini “by raising tokens” will give users more useful, comprehensive answers. “
Of course, the improvement is only available to those with access to Google Drive’s AI features, including qualified Google Workspan Plans as well as the consumer-facing Google One AI Premium level.
Gemini gets better at helping with PDFs
The improvement comes just over a year after Google first gave Gemini in the sidebar on Google Drive a makeover where it would be able to summarize, answer questions, combine with other information stored in drives, and even continue to create new content such as e emails.
At the beginning of this year, a further improvement was added to the experience, where the Gemini side beam now showed in the PDF editor’s preview.
This month’s upgrade means that Gemini can now take larger PDF files, including scanned and built-in files as well as text-heavy and table-heavy files.
It’s all in an attempt to make Google Drive more attractive to administrative office workers, with the tech giant fighting against traditional office software providers such as Microsoft as well as media and PDF-first alternatives such as Adobe, and both have their own generative AI systems taken into account.
The news comes shortly after Google also increased Gemini 2.5 Pro Limits for Gemini for educational users at no extra cost in hopes of getting its generative AI tools in the hands of even more consumers.
Handling research articles, studies and reports, Gemini for educational users will be among those who benefit from the larger context window that is now supported for PDFs.
