Google announced Monday that its Gemini app will now bring personalized image generation capabilities powered by Nano Banana to a wider range of users. Starting today, all eligible users in the United States will have free access to this feature. This service was previously only available to Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers.
Google originally announced that Gemini’s personal intelligence feature would introduce image generation powered by Nano Banana in April, allowing users to create images that reflect their unique interests. This means that Gemini can generate images based on your tastes and preferences, without having to specify them in a prompt. To accomplish this, Gemini uses data from your Google Account connections, including Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Search.
For example, instead of saying, “Create an illustration of me and the things I like, like coffee or bread,” you could simply request, “Create an illustration of me and the things I like.”
Gemini can also pull actual images from Google Photos, so you don’t have to manually upload photos.
Google first rolled out its Personal Intelligence feature earlier this year and made it widely available to all users in the US in March. The company recently extended this feature to users in India and Japan.
Personal Intelligence is an opt-in feature that lets you decide which apps your Gemini can access. Once enabled, it will be set as the default for all prompts, but can be disabled using a new toggle in the (Tools) menu.
Additionally, last month, Google announced several upcoming updates to the Gemini app, including a new “Daily Brief” feature, a revamped interface, access to the AI video model Gemini Omni, and a personal AI agent named Gemini Spark.
In particular, Google’s AI chatbot Gemini surpassed 750 million monthly active users (MAUs) earlier this year, strengthening its position as a major player in the AI space.
