Previously, you could only input details manually, but now, Google has introduced a feature that allows you to upload documents and various file types directly into your Gems’ knowledge base.
For example, you could upload your resume, and your Gem can help you quickly draft job applications or answer interview questions based on the details in your resume. Here’s what you need to know about this update.

Starting today, Google Gemini supports adding documents and other file types like PDFs to Gems. ChatGPT also has a similar feature called GPTs where you can already upload documents.
This feature is currently only available to Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, and Education Premium users. As of now, there is no information related to when this feature will be available to regular Gemini Advanced users.
