Company AI slop feels inescapable in 2025. From web site banner advertisements to out of doors billboards, photographs generated by companies utilizing AI instruments encompass me. Hell, even the bar down the road posts comfortable hour flyers with that distinctly hazy, amber glow of some AI graphics.
On Thursday, Google launched Nano Banana Professional, the corporate’s newest image-generating mannequin. Most of the updates on this launch are focused at company adoption, from placing Nano Banana Professional in Google Slides for business presentations to integrating the brand new mannequin with Google Adverts for advertisers globally.
This “Professional” launch is an iteration on its Nano Banana mannequin that dropped earlier this 12 months. Nano Banana turned a viral sensation after customers began posting personalized action figures and different meme-able creations on social media.
Nano Banana Professional builds out the AI software with a bevy of recent talents, like producing photographs in 4K decision. It’s free to check out inside Google’s Gemini app, with paid Google One subscribers having access to extra generations.
One particular enchancment goes to be catnip for companies on this launch: textual content rendering. From my preliminary checks producing outputs with textual content, Nano Banana Professional improves on the wonky lettering and unusual misspellings frequent in lots of picture fashions, together with Google’s previous releases.
Google desires the pictures generated by this new mannequin—textual content and all—to be extra polished and production-ready for enterprise use circumstances. “Even when you have one letter off it’s extremely apparent,” says Nicole Brichtova, a product lead for picture and video at Google DeepMind. “It is type of like having arms with six fingers; it is the very first thing you see.” She says a part of the explanation Nano Banana Professional is ready to generate textual content extra cleanly is the change to a extra highly effective underlying mannequin, Gemini 3 Professional.
