What's New in Skimming AI: 2025 Feature Drop You Don't Want to Miss
Skimming AI just dropped a powerhouse update, and if you've been using the platform to work smarter with your documents, YouTube videos, or cloud files—get ready to love it even more. This 2025 rollout is packed with features that make life easier, whether you're a solo researcher, part of a growing team, or knee-deep in multi-source projects.
Let's walk through what's new and improved and why this feature drop might be the most exciting yet.
1. Group Chat with Multiple Data Sources
You can now combine different types of files—PDFs, YouTube links, Google Docs, spreadsheets, you name it—into one folder and have a single, seamless conversation across all of them.
Do you need to ask a question referencing a slide deck and a research article? Done. Want to compare a YouTube tutorial to a PDF guide? No problem. This update means you're no longer stuck opening separate chats for separate files. It's all one context now.
This might sound small, but it changes everything for people juggling large projects. It cuts out the guesswork and makes the AI responses much sharper since it's pulling from a complete, unified view of your content.
2. Gemini 2.0 Flash + Flash-Lite Now Supported
Say hello to Google's fastest models, now inside Skimming. Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite have landed. These are Google's newer models built for speed and clarity, and they're now baked into Skimming's chat system. That means faster, more accurate answers and less time waiting for results.
Whether summarizing documents, comparing info, or exploring ideas across sources, these models deliver slick performance without sacrificing quality. Flash is ideal for deeper analysis, while Flash-Lite is excellent when you want quick insights without heavy lifting.
3. YouTube Transcripts—Even Without Captions
Yep, even the ones with no subtitles.
This one's big: Skimming AI can now generate transcripts for any YouTube video—even if it doesn't have captions or built-in transcripts.
No more waiting for creators to add subtitles or struggling through long videos to find that one key point. Just drop in the link, and Skimming does the rest. You get a clean transcript you can search, summarize, and chat with—just like any other data source.
It's a game changer for researchers, students, and anyone who loves learning through video but hates wasting time.
4. Google Integration Just Got Way Better
Drive, Sheets, and Gmail are connected and ready to query.
Skimming has always played nice with files, but now it's leveled up with deeper Google Workspace integration. You can now directly link your Google Drive, Sheets, and Gmail to the platform.
Here's what that means:
Pull up spreadsheets and ask, "What are the top-performing categories this month?"
Scan Gmail threads and find specific decisions or info without scrolling through many replies.
Connect Drive folders full of files and ask summary-level or detailed questions across them.
All you need to do is sign in, choose your files or emails, and start chatting. It's that smooth.
5. Real-Time Model Switching (in Group Chats)
Pick your AI flavor mid-conversation.
Sometimes, you want Gemini's speed. Other times, the nuance of ChatGPT. Or the balance of Claude. With this update, you don't have to choose just one.
In Group Chats, you can now switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models on the fly. That means:
Start a deep dive with Claude.
Switch to ChatGPT for creative summaries.
Finish with Gemini Flash for speed.
It's dynamic. It's flexible. And it's only available in group conversations for now—but it's already a giant leap in how you interact with AI.
6. New Model Additions: Claude 3.7 Sonnet + o3 from OpenAI
Meet the latest brain power behind the scenes.
Skimming AI is now running on some of the sharpest models available:
Claude 3.7 Sonnet brings nuanced understanding, especially for detailed questions and contextual analysis.
OpenAI o3-min and o3-mini-high are lightweight but mighty options, optimized for high performance with less latency.
These additions give users more variety in engaging with content—summarizing a dense research paper or brainstorming campaign ideas.
7. Team Collaboration
One subscription. Shared limits. Zero headaches.
Now, you can invite your team members to collaborate under a single Skimming subscription. Usage limits are pooled across the team, so you don't have to worry about separate billing or tracking who's using what.
This is perfect for:
Small teams working on research or content projects
Startups managing knowledge across departments
Agencies that want to onboard clients into one ecosystem
It's simple to set up, making collaborative work much more efficient.
8. Chat Sharing with Linked Data Sources
Send your chat history—with context.
This update makes sharing ongoing chats with their connected files or links ridiculously easy. Just send the unique link, and the recipient will see your conversation and get access to the underlying documents or data that powered it.
So instead of dumping a PDF and saying, "Read this," you can say, "Check this chat—I already asked the questions you probably have." It's perfect for handoffs, training, client updates, or ensuring nobody has to start from scratch.
Wrapping It Up
This 2025 feature drop isn't just about adding shiny new tools—it's about making Skimming AI a more fluid, powerful workspace for how we work in real life.
Whether collaborating with your team, organizing research, or juggling half a dozen content sources, these updates are designed to remove friction and help you focus on the work that matters.
So, if you haven't tried these new features yet, log into your Skimming AI dashboard and give them a spin. You'll be surprised at how naturally they fit into your day.
