Google reports that over 10 million new users were attracted to its Gemini app due to the popularity of 'Nano Banana'
The tech giant Google has made a significant update to its Gemini app, introducing a new built-in editor named Nano Banana. This innovative tool is revolutionising the way users edit their photos, offering a unique and engaging experience.
Nano Banana enables users to transform their images in creative ways, such as turning selfies into characters like a space-walking astronaut or a rock star. The most popular use of Nano Banana in the Gemini app is turning users into figurines, as demonstrated in a post showcasing users being able to turn a photo of themselves and others into figurines on a desk.
One of the standout features of Nano Banana is its ability to combine two separate photos into one, as if they were always like that. Users can also mix up designs with Nano Banana, similar to a continuous editing session, where they can add to an empty room or tweak its design.
The update also allows for follow-up questions-like interactions, where users can expand and add onto their ideas with the AI. This feature makes the editing process more dynamic and interactive, allowing users to explore their creativity further.
Google's Vice President, Josh Woodward, has been instrumental in the development successes of Nano Banana and the Gemini app. In a post on platform X, Woodward attributes the success of Nano Banana to the 10 million-plus users who've started using its AI services. The post also includes the phrases "TPUs red hot" and "SRE pagers howling," but the context of these phrases is not provided.
The addition of Nano Banana has contributed to over 10 million new users joining the Gemini app. Furthermore, Nano Banana has already edited over 200 million images in the Gemini app. This impressive number underscores the popularity and effectiveness of the new editor.
In conclusion, the introduction of Nano Banana to the Gemini app represents a major update to the photo editing capabilities of the app. Users can now create unique figurine-boxes, where they, their pet, and their family can all be sitting on a desk, and make unique edits using their prompts. The interactive and dynamic nature of Nano Banana is sure to appeal to a wide range of users, making the Gemini app an even more attractive option for photo editing needs.
