On Monday, Google declared that the Gemini app is now providing its customized image generation feature powered by Nano Banana to a wider user base. Beginning today, all eligible U.S. users can utilize the feature for free, a benefit that was previously limited to Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers.

Google initially revealed in April that Gemini’s Personal Intelligence feature would incorporate Nano Banana-powered image generation, enabling users to create images that reflect their distinct interests. This implies that images can be produced based on Gemini’s comprehension of your preferences without the need for you to detail them in your request. Gemini harnesses data from your Google account connections — including Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Search — to accomplish this. 

For instance, instead of stating, “Generate an illustration of me and my favorite items, like coffee and baking,” you can merely ask, “Generate an illustration of me and my favorite items.”

Gemini is also capable of retrieving actual images of you from Google Photos, eliminating the need for manual photo uploads. 

Earlier this year, Google rolled out the Personal Intelligence feature, making it broadly accessible to all U.S. users in March. The company recently broadened this capability to users in India and Japan. 

Personal Intelligence is an opt-in feature, allowing you to determine which applications Gemini can access. Once activated, it serves as the default for every request, but you can turn it off using a new toggle in the Tools menu.

Moreover, last month, Google unveiled several forthcoming updates for the Gemini app, featuring a new “Daily Brief” capability, an updated interface, access to the AI video model Gemini Omni, and a personal AI assistant called Gemini Spark.

Significantly, Google’s AI chatbot Gemini exceeded 750 million monthly active users (MAUs) earlier this year, solidifying its status as a significant player in the AI landscape.
