Google Gemini Nano Banana: 7 Things You Can Do With AI World's Latest Sensation

Google recently introduced enhanced photo editing features as part of Gemini Nano Banana. We experimented with this generative AI app and discovered a variety of applications, including creative selfies with stars you love, changing backgrounds and comic expressions. 

Here are seven creative things you can do with Google’s Nano Banana.

Through the Selfie with Anyone feature in Nano Banana, all you need to do is upload your picture, give a prompt like "take a close selfie with Taylor Swift", and hit Generate. Voila! Your selfie with your favourite star is ready to be shared on social and garner likes (without you having to meet them in person)! 

The Area Restyle feature can give a nice touch of anime to your pics. For instance, upload a two-person photo and ask the app to convert one of them into a 2D hand-drawn anime style. You now have a new animated character alongside you — tag that person on social and enjoy the fun response. 

Now you can move beyond emoticons and share your "animated" self with varied expressions. Simply upload a photo with a prompt: "Convert this image into four expressions, happy, angry, sad, and joyful, in comic style" and generate. Your comic avatar displaying a bunch of emotions is ready.

Bored with your look but don’t have the energy to change it? You can simply ask Nano Banana to "change the clothing to T-shirt" or "change the hair colour in the image to red". There it is, you as a redhead in a cool tee.

With Nano Banana, you can restore and even colour your old, black-and-white images — removing scratches and imperfections — and immortalise them for good.

Want Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa to laugh or cry? Just upload her picture and type 'change the person's expression in the image to laugh/cry." See the hilarious result!

With a simple prompt on changing the background, you in front of your house could be changed to you in front of the Eiffel Tower.
