Google will let users connect their photos to the Gemini chatbot and Nano Banana
Summary
Google is connecting its Gemini chatbot to users' personal Google Photos library through a feature called Nano Banana (an image generation tool, meaning software that creates pictures from text descriptions). Users who opt in to Personal Intelligence (a feature that links Google apps together for customized responses) can ask Gemini to generate images based on their private photos, like "create a claymation image of me and my family," without manually uploading photos each time.
