Project Genie is rolling out! Powered by Genie 3, it generates interactive worlds in real-time. Then use Nano Banana Pro to create a preview and fine-tune your environment before stepping inside. Rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S.

You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro. It’s SOTA for image generation + editing with more advanced world knowledge, text rendering, precision + controls. Built on Gemini 3, it’s really good at complex infographics - much like how engineers see the world:)
