Google Pics is a new app that tries to fix AI image editing
Summary
Google is launching Pics, a new AI image generation app for Workspace that uses Gemini and Google's Nano Banana 2 image model to make editing easier. Instead of rewriting entire prompts to change small details, users can click on specific parts of an image and leave notes describing what they want to change, similar to commenting in Google Docs.
