Google has begun integrating its advanced AI model, Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), into more of its core applications. According to the company, the new model is now available in Google Search and NotebookLM, and it will roll out to Google Photos in the coming weeks.
A new era of AI-powered search is beginning. Users in the United States and India can now experience Nano Banana within Google Search’s AI Mode and Google Lens. By simply opening the Google app on Android or iOS, switching to the Lens tab, and entering a text prompt in the Create mode, users can instantly generate or edit images directly within their search experience.
Even more impressively, users can take a photo and describe the edit they want, allowing Nano Banana to modify the image automatically — effectively turning visual editing into a natural part of everyday search.
In NotebookLM, Nano Banana is transforming the Video Overviews feature. The upgraded AI brings more context, visual richness, and clarity to AI-generated video summaries, helping users digest information faster and more visually.
Google has also introduced six new visual styles — Papercraft, Watercolor, Anime, Whiteboard, Retro Print, and Heritage — giving creators more creative flexibility and atmosphere when generating visuals with NotebookLM.
With these updates, Nano Banana is rapidly becoming one of Google’s most deeply integrated AI systems, expanding across its ecosystem to enhance creativity, productivity, and visual intelligence.
Just like the “Audio Overviews” feature, Video Overviews now comes with brand-new formats designed to make AI-generated summaries more dynamic and informative. Users can now choose between two distinct modes:
The “Explainer” format creates in-depth, educational videos compiled from multiple sources, offering detailed insights and visual clarity.
The “Brief” format, on the other hand, generates short, concise videos that highlight the key ideas from a document or article.
The Power and Capabilities of Nano Banana
First introduced in August, Google’s Nano Banana AI model was originally exclusive to the Gemini app. Since then, it has grown significantly — with over five billion images created using the model so far.
Developed by Google DeepMind, Alphabet’s advanced AI research division, Nano Banana builds upon Gemini’s visual editing foundation to produce more natural, coherent, and lifelike images, especially when generating humans and animals.
With its rapid expansion across Google’s ecosystem, Nano Banana is quickly becoming one of the company’s most versatile AI models — bridging creativity and precision in visual content creation.
Creative Possibilities That Transform Photos
Nano Banana offers a wide range of creative editing capabilities. It can change a person’s outfit, generate aging simulations, blend multiple photos, or even apply the visual style of one image to another object with remarkable precision.
In a recent Nano Banana Hackathon event, Google selected 50 winners and awarded a total of $400,000 in prizes — celebrating the most innovative uses of the AI model. These projects demonstrated Nano Banana’s potential to redefine how users create, customize, and reimagine visual content within the Google ecosystem.
