Google Workspace now auto-summarizes PDFs for you

Starting June 12th, Google’s Workspace customers will get summaries in the sidebar every time they open a PDF from Drive, according to Google’s blog.

The idea is that you won’t have read the whole thing, of course, but the feature also adds a couple of handy commands in the sidebar.

Performs actions
You can then perform actions, like «Draft a sample proposal,» or «List interview questions based on this resume.»

The PDF summary will open automatically, and there is a way to opt out in the Drive settings, if you think AI is getting a bit too intrusive in your life.

The feature is available in 20 languages, and should be available for many already — but Google says it might take as many as 15 days to fully roll out.
