Summarize shared files with Gemini in Google Chat, now available on mobile

Wait 5 sec.

What’s happening Earlier this year, we introduced the capability for Google Chat users to easily see summaries of shared Google Docs, Slides, or Sheets files, along with other file types (like PDF, Office, and CSV), directly within your desktop Chat conversations. Today, we’re excited to expand this feature to Google Chat mobile. Simply tap the “Summarize” button on the file preview card in your conversation. Gemini will summarize the file so you can get a quick overview without having to leave Chat. Getting started Admins: To access file summaries, users need to have smart features and personalization turned on. Admins can turn on default personalization setting for their users in the Admin console. End users: You can turn this feature ON/OFF by turning Smart features & controls in Google products ON/OFF. On mobile, to see summaries of files shared in Chat, click the “Summarize” button. Rollout pace Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting October 14, 2025, with expected completion by mid November 2025. Availability Available for Google Workspace: Business Standard, and Plus Enterprise Standard, and Plus Google AI Pro for Education Frontline Plus Also available to: Gemini Business* Gemini Enterprise* *As of January 15, 2025, we’re no longer offering the Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise add-ons for sale.
