"It hyped the model as a way to "transform images in amazing new ways" inside the Gemini app. To get the "perfect picture," you simply pop an image into Gemini and "tell it what you'd like to change," the company said. Google's suggestions include redecorating your house, giving yourself a '60s beehive, putting a tutu on your chihuahua, and seeing how many wrinkles you'll have acquired in 10 years. You can also combine different pictures"
"In the same time, he said Gemini has been used to transform 500 million images. The surge has likely propelled Gemini to the top of various app stores around the world. At the time of writing, Gemini is the leading iPhone app on Apple's App Stores in the US, UK, Canada, France, Australia, Germany, and Italy. In many cases, it reached the prime position by surpassing OpenAI's ChatGPT, which now sits in second place."
Nano Banana launched in late August as an image-editing model inside the Gemini app that lets users transform images, combine pictures, and make short videos. The editor offers playful and practical edits such as redecorating rooms, changing hairstyles, dressing pets, and aging faces by ten years. Gemini's app grew rapidly after the feature's release, adding roughly 23 million users in two weeks and processing about 500 million image transformations. The surge pushed Gemini to the top of multiple national app-store charts, surpassing ChatGPT in many countries. High demand prompted temporary usage limits and infrastructure efforts to keep the service running.
