Google’s Nano Banana Pro Upgrade
While keeping pace with the seemingly endless parade of AI tools can be exhausting, getting crystal clear on the raw, new power embedded in Google’s new Nano Banana Pro image generator is well worth a huff-and-puff.
In a phrase, Nano Banana Pro (NBP) – released a few weeks ago – is the new, gold standard in AI imaging now, capable of rendering virtually anything imaginable.
Essentially: Writers now have a tool that can auto-generate one or more supplemental images for their work with a precision and power that currently has no rival.
Plus, unlike other image generators, NBP has an incredible amount of firepower under-the-hood that is simply not available to the competition.
For example: NBP is an exquisite image generator in its own right.
But it is also powered by Google’s Gemini 3.0 Pro, now widely considered the gold standard in consumer AI.
And, NBP can also be easily combined with Google Search, the world’s number one search engine.
Like many things AI, the secret to achieving master prowess with NBP is to sample how countless, highly inspired human imaginations are already working with the tool – and then synthesize that rubber-meets-the-road knowledge to forge your own method for working with NBP.
Towards that end, here are ten excellent videos on NBP, complete with detailed demos, of how imaginative folks are artfully using the AI – and surfacing truly world-class, head-turning images:
