Google is expanding the reach of its AI-powered image editor, Nano Banana, by integrating it into several of its core services, including Google[1] Search, NotebookLM, and Photos. The tool gained viral attention last month for its creative editing features, and Google is now building on that momentum by rolling it out to more apps and services.
NotebookLM Integration
The most significant update is in NotebookLM, where Nano Banana is now enhancing the platform’s Video Overviews feature. This feature automatically creates animated explainer videos based on user documents. With the update, users will be able to apply six new visual styles, such as watercolor and anime, and generate contextual illustrations pulled from source material. Google is also introducing “Briefs,” a new format for short, AI-generated micro-videos. These enhancements begin rolling out to Pro users this week and will reach all users in the coming weeks.
New Features for Search
Nano Banana is also being added to the Google Search app. Users can now edit or stylize images directly from the search interface by entering prompts in a chat. Google says the feature allows users to capture images through the Lens tool and apply creative modifications using AI. This update is now live in English for users in the US, with support for additional languages and regions expected soon.
Photos Integration
Although specific details remain limited, Google confirmed that Nano Banana will also be integrated into the Photos app in the coming weeks. While the company has yet to outline exact features, the tool will likely be used to edit or enhance stored images.
