The visual revolution initiated by Google’s Nano Banana model profoundly transforms image editing capabilities. This innovative model will be integrated into several iconic tools, such as Lens and NotebookLM. This technological advancement simplifies the editing of captured images and enhances the accessibility of information through dynamic and engaging content. The interaction between artificial intelligence and visual creation reaches a new peak, paving the way for an unprecedented user experience.
Nano Banana: A Revolutionary Image Generation Model
The image generation model Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, also known by the codename Nano Banana, was globally deployed in early October 2025. This system, among the most sophisticated in the industry, has already been used over five billion times. Its integration into various Google applications marks a decisive turning point in how users interact with visuals.
Integration into Google Lens
Initially, Google announces the integration of Nano Banana into Google Lens. This model will now allow users to directly modify captured images. A new button, symbolized by a banana, will appear in the application’s menu, available on iOS and Android. After taking a photo or selecting an image from their gallery, users will be able to enter a query to describe the desired modifications.
This advancement promises to simplify the image editing process while fostering creativity. Users will have the option to adjust the results through additional queries or share the creations with their loved ones.
AI Mode Features
The Nano Banana model will also be introduced in AI Mode. Although this feature is not yet available in France, it will allow the generation of an image from scratch using simple text. Users will only need to select the Create tool to explore the creative possibilities offered by this new model. Creativity will have no limits.
Improvements to NotebookLM
Another significant advancement lies in the integration of Nano Banana within NotebookLM. This update transforms the research assistance service, allowing for the creation of video descriptions based on notes and documents. This feature, which allows for the generation of explanatory videos, has been accessible in France since August, under the title Video Summary.
NotebookLM users will thus benefit from contextual and aesthetic illustrations, generated automatically from their imported content. This interactivity will facilitate the understanding of complex topics by making information more accessible and visually engaging.
Diverse Versions and Visual Styles
The videos produced using Nano Banana may adopt one of six varied visual styles. Users will have the choice of Watercolor, Papercraft, Anime, Whiteboard, Retro Print, or Heritage. This stylistic diversity will allow for greater personalization of content to suit users’ aesthetic preferences.
To fully leverage these capabilities, users only need to import documents, select the Video Summary option, and then use the pencil icon to choose a graphic style. Such flexibility will open new perspectives in content creation.
Gradual Deployment
The deployment of the update concerning video summaries begins for NotebookLM Pro subscribers. An extension to non-subscribers is planned in the coming weeks. The aim is to transform interaction with information, making content dynamic and engaging through a user-centered approach and its interaction with the digital world.
These developments illustrate Google’s commitment to the continuous improvement of its tools, integrating the latest innovations in artificial intelligence. The potential of Nano Banana could well redefine the visual experience in an increasingly connected world.
