Google is expanding the use of its AI-powered image editing tool Nano Banana, which has been a hit since its launch last month, by integrating it into several of the company's services, including Search, NotebookLM, and Photos, Engadget reports.
The most notable changes are in NotebookLM. Here, Nano Banana is used to update the Video Walkthroughs feature, which automatically creates explanatory videos from documents. With the new features, users will get six additional design styles, including watercolor and anime. There is also a feature to generate illustrations based on sources and a new microvideo format called Briefs.
The update has already started rolling out to Pro users, and it will be available to everyone else in the coming weeks.
In Google's search service, Nano Banana allows you to create and edit images directly while working with the official application. For example, a user can use a text query to get a stylized version of an existing image. In addition, a photo can be taken through the Lens tool and immediately edited using AI.
This feature is currently available in English for users in the US, and will be rolled out to other countries and languages over time.
Regarding integration with Google Photos, the company only said that Nano Banana will appear in the service "in the coming weeks."
Details are still being revealed, but it's expected that the tool will be used to edit images stored in your Photos library. Google promises to provide more information about this in the near future.
