Try Google's Nano Banana image generator in Search and NotebookLM - here's how

Google has announced that its Nano Banana image generation model, part of its broader Imagen AI system, will be integrated into Google Search and Colab Notebooks (NotebookLM). This will allow users to generate, edit, and manipulate images directly within these platforms. The Nano Banana model is a smaller, more efficient version of Imagen, designed for faster and more accessible image generation. It can create a wide range of images, from realistic scenes to abstract art, based on text prompts provided by users. By integrating Nano Banana into Search and Notebooks, Google aims to make the technology more readily available to a wider audience, enabling them to experiment with AI-generated visuals and incorporate them into their work and personal projects. The integration is expected to roll out gradually, with the Nano Banana feature initially available in a limited capacity before being expanded to more users. This move aligns with Google's broader efforts to make advanced AI technologies more accessible and user-friendly.
