I just played around with Google’s “Nano Banana” AI image generator, and it is incredibly good and useful for presentation design.
Current AI image generators take a prompt and predict pixels. Ask for a modification, and a whole new bunch of pixels get generated, redoing the entire image. Nano Banana (we need a better/shorter name), seems to work with layers and objects, and keeps things consistent.
Below 2 quick examples:
“White Porsche in Hoogeveen”
“Turn it around”
Some observations:
Super fast, the first image was an almost instant response
Hyper realistic image, does not look cartoonish
Correct text: the name of the cafe, the license plate, the branding of the car
(That town looks Dutch, but it is not Hoogeveen)
But most importantly: isolated editing, changing one thing and leave everything else the same
Photoshop, it was nice meeting you…
I will study the API structure of Nano Banana and see whether I can swap out the image generator in SlideMagic.
Impressive! You can try it out in Google AI Studio
