Nano Banana now lets you draw prompts directly on your photos — Sam Altman is going to hate this

Nano Banana.

When Nano Banana first launched, it almost broke the internet with viral trends. Now, Google is back at it again with a whole new update for its AI image generator, powered by Gemini 3.0 — and it might change how you think about photo editing altogether.

Just days after OpenAI updated ChatGPT Images, Google seems to be taking the wind out of Sam Altman's sails once again. Because now, users can draw or annotate directly on their images inside the Gemini app. With very little effort, users can show the AI exactly what to do, where to do it and how you want it to look. In other words: you don’t need to describe your vision in words anymore. You can literally sketch it.

Google AI Labs has implemented this strategy before on its lesser known AI tool called, Whisk. But adding this feature to Nano Banana, is the ultimate game-changer.
