In April, we announced the general availability for Drive AI Overviews in Drive on the web. We’re now bringing this feature to the Drive Android and iOS apps.
Instead of searching through endless files and opening dozens of tabs to find the information you need, you can now get instant answers right at the top of your search results. Gemini does the heavy lifting for you, scanning your documents to provide clear, reliable summaries.
Here is how it helps you work smarter:
- See the big picture: Get a quick summary of information pulled from multiple files without needing to open each one.
- Ask naturally: There’s no need to use complicated search tricks. Just ask a question as you would to a colleague, like "What’s in our Spring 2026 catalog?"
- Get the right answer: Gemini automatically understands what you’re looking for, whether it’s a quick fact, a project summary, or a list of specific documents, and adjusts its response to match.
- Dig deeper with ease: If you need more information, you can go from a quick summary to a deeper conversation with Ask Gemini in just one click.
- Control your AI Overviews scope: Use AI Overview search settings to choose which Google Workspace apps Gemini uses to find files and generate AI Overviews.
This feature will roll out in English and an additional 28 languages (the same as those supposed for Gemini in Drive side panel) over the next several weeks.
