Key Points:

  • Gemini Advanced now supports uploading and analyzing spreadsheet data.
  • Up to 10 files of various formats, each up to 100 MB, can be uploaded simultaneously.
  • New features include creating customizable, presentation-ready charts.

Last week, Google introduced significant enhancements to Gemini Advanced by launching Gemini 1.5 Pro, which now includes the capability to upload and analyze spreadsheets. This upgrade allows paid subscribers to upload various data file types directly from their desktop browsers or via Google Drive. Supported formats include CSV, TSV, XLSX, and spreadsheets created in Google Sheets.

While mobile app uploads remain unsupported, users can upload up to 10 files at a time, with each file being up to 100 MB. Once uploaded, Gemini Advanced enables users to create presentation-ready charts, with options to customize chart types and labels and zoom in to explore specific data points. This feature aims to streamline data processing, exploration, analysis, and visualization, helping users save time and uncover insights more efficiently.

This new functionality complements the existing capability to upload large text files for summarization, outlining, and trend identification. Powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro’s expanded context window of 1 million tokens, or 1,500 pages, the system is poised for future enhancements, including the ability to upload one hour of video or a codebase with 30,000 lines.
