Google<\/a> announced today that the Gemini<\/a> Personal Intelligence feature is now available in Nano Banana 2<\/a>, the company’s popular AI image model.<\/p>\n

Now, instead of uploading a photo, users can give Nano Banana access to their Google Photos library, which will allow Nano Banana to generate personalized images for users.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss out on our latest stories:\u00a0Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

“One of the biggest hurdles in AI image generation is finding the right prompt,” reads a Google blog post<\/a>. “Previously, to get a result that felt truly personal, you had to write long, detailed descriptions and manually upload a reference photo just to give Gemini the right context.\u00a0Now, Personal Intelligence gives Gemini an inherent understanding of your preferences from the start.”<\/p>\n

Nano Banana<\/a> is one of the web’s leading AI image generators<\/a>, and it’s particularly good at editing photos. With Personal Intelligence, Nano Banana can reference your images and Labels<\/a> to make photos based on you, your pets, or anything else in your library.<\/p>\n

Google gives several examples of how this could be useful. For instance, instead of uploading an image of your family and writing a detailed prompt, you can simply tell Gemini to “Make a claymation image of my family.” Google also suggests prompts such as “Design my dream house” and “Create a picture of my desert island essentials.”<\/p>\n

Users will need to organize and label their photos for the feature to work as intended, however.<\/p>\n

Of course, before granting an AI tool like Gemini or Nano Banana<\/a> access to your entire photo library, it’s important to understand how your images will be used.<\/p>\n

Google says that Gemini will not “directly” train its models on your photos; however, it will be able to train its models with the photos, prompts, and AI-generated images that appear in the Gemini app.<\/p>\n
