I let Gemini edit my photos, and what the AI is good at surprised me

Google pitches Gemini as an all-in-one productivity tool, one capable of helping with multiple aspects of the average person’s personal, professional, and creative life. And if it wasn’t clear the company viewed its AI assistant and models that way, the fact it inserts Gemini all over Google Workspace, is hopefully proof. The company’s belief isn’t all smoke without any fire, though. Google has started to demonstrate that Gemini can do things like edit your calendar or work inside apps in the right setting. Now, though, the company’s also interested in making Gemini a better tool for editing photos with its new “Nano Banana” image model.
