Those who subscribe to Gemini Advanced will have the ability to use an "Ask this PDF" option to get answers from a document without having to read through all the pages. Gemini Advanced subscribers pay $19.99 per month for access to AI and receive 2TB of storage along with other Google One benefits. Despite Gemini's built-in advantages, it will face competition from OpenAI's GenAI model, GPT-4o, which works with text, speech, and video. Google plans to roll out the latest Gemini on Android features to hundreds of millions of supported devices over the next few months.
