While Microsoft builds visual AI, Google advances the user experience of search itself by integrating its Nano Banana model directly into Google Search. Although Nano Banana isn’t a new invention—initially developed for tools like Gemini—it now powers Image Creation within Search, allowing users to generate or modify images without leaving the search interface.
By simply clicking the lens icon and selecting "Create," users can describe what they want, make quick adjustments, or craft entirely new visuals. This embedded experience—rolled out initially in the US and India—aims for fluid, real-time interaction. The results are accurate, realistic, and automatically tagged with watermarks using SynthID to ensure proper attribution of AI-generated content.
