At Google I/O 2026, the company unveiled Gemini Omni Flash, an AI-powered video creation service that lets users generate and edit footage using natural language prompts. The feature, part of the broader Gemini Omni suite, works across the Gemini app, Google Flow, YouTube Shorts and YouTube Create, and promises to replace traditional editing software with conversational refinement. Google highlighted built‑in SynthID watermarking to flag AI‑generated media and said the technology will expand to support mixed‑media projects in future releases. Ler mais

Google has introduced Nano Banana 2, an image‑generation model powered by Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. The new system matches the world knowledge and reasoning of Nano Banana Pro while delivering "lightning‑fast" performance. It brings Pro‑level features—real‑time web‑search integration, infographic creation, and text overlay for marketing and greeting‑card designs—to a broader audience. Nano Banana 2 can preserve the likeness of up to five characters in a single workflow, follow precise instructions, and produce images at up to 4K resolution with richer textures and sharper details. The model will replace Pro in the Gemini app and become the default for AI Mode in Search, Lens, and Flow AI creative studio, though AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will retain access to the original Pro model for specialized tasks.

AI experts say the next year will be defined by trust, emotional attachment, and safety by design. They warn that AI’s growing role in mental‑health, children’s toys, and workplace tools raises new risks. Developers will need to prove reliability rather than just showcase performance, and creators will see originality become a premium asset as generative models flood the market. Ler mais

Google reviewed user‑submitted techniques for crafting effective prompts for its AI image tool Nano Banana Pro, which runs on Gemini 3. Three standout approaches emerged: treating prompts like pseudo‑code with defined variables, explicitly requesting photographic imperfections, and blending multiple perspectives within a single prompt. These methods help the model maintain consistency, add realism, and convey complex spatial information, expanding the creative possibilities for designers and artists using the platform. Ler mais

Disney is testing an artificial‑intelligence animation tool from startup Animaj as part of its Disney Accelerator program. The technology, called motion in‑betweening, lets animators sketch key poses while AI fills in the intermediate frames, cutting production time dramatically. Disney executives said the partnership could be announced in the coming months, and the company emphasized that the AI works under the direct control of human artists. The move reflects a broader industry push to use generative AI to speed content creation while preserving artistic style. Ler mais

Google Gemini is being highlighted as a versatile AI tool that can serve as a private art instructor. It analyzes uploaded artwork for composition, anatomy, color, lighting, perspective and style, then offers clear, actionable feedback. Users can receive step‑by‑step guidance on basic techniques, structured practice plans, style experimentation, visual storytelling advice, and even creative reinterpretations of photographs. The system remembers prior suggestions, adapts to each user’s skill level, and provides a range of instructional approaches without the need for formal classes. Ler mais
