🎨 Nano Banana Is Here: The Best Free Image Editor—And It’s Everywhere

Google’s “Nano Banana” (officially Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) is now broadly available—and free. It’s absurdly good at likeness-safe edits, context-aware transformations, and multi-image fusion.

Even bigger: Adobe Firefly/Express just made it available as a default option.

• Upload a photo and restyle outfits, swap backgrounds, or annotate real-world scenes with “world knowledge.”

• Drag in objects from other images for fusion; generate consistent angles (e.g., isometric recreations).

• Now inside Firefly—users can pick Google’s model right alongside Firefly, Runway, Pika, Flux, and more.

💡 Why it matters: When Adobe sets a Google model as the default, it signals a shift from “our model or bust” to “best model for the job.”

🔮 Prediction: Creative suites become model marketplaces, interchangeable slots for image/video/voice models with watermarking baked in.

Anthtopic

🧭 Your Browser, But With a Co-Pilot That Clicks: Claude for Chrome

Anthropic is piloting a Chrome extension that can take actions in your actual browser: navigate, fill forms, even purchase—rolling to 1,000 beta users first.

• Real interactions inside your Chrome (not a cloud “virtual browser”).

• Early testers highlight both massive productivity gains and security risks like hidden prompt injections.

• If this sticks, expect “agent policies” in browsers: setting what an AI may do, where, and with which credentials.

Perplexity

📰 Paying Creators for AI Citations: Perplexity Comet Plus

Perplexity launched Comet Plus, a $5/mo subscription that shares 80% of revenue with participating publishers—counting human visits, AI citations, and even agent actions.

• Replaces earlier ad-share pilot with a bigger, $42.5M commitment.

• Gives publishers a reason to embrace AI-summarized search.

• Could expand beyond big outlets to independent creators in future rounds.

💡 Why it matters: If agent citations get priced, creators keep publishing into the AI era.
🔮 Prediction: Expect tiered deals where niche experts and indie creators can opt-in as “trusted sources.”

30-Second AI Play

📽️ Turn Slides Into Short Videos (With AI Avatars + Veo Clips) in Google Vids

Step-by-step:

1. Open Google Vids and draft a 6–8 slide outline (problem → solution → CTA).

2. Generate draft slides, then toggle AI Avatars to deliver your script.

3. Add motion with an AI video clip (via Veo 3) for one slide.

4. Auto-generate a transcript → hit Clean Up to remove filler words.

5. Edit the video by editing text—then export in IG, TikTok, or YouTube formats.

💡 Why it works: Motion + a human avatar boosts retention; transcript-based editing cuts production time by up to 70%. (Pro features require Google AI Pro/Ultra; the basic editor is free.)
