Google updated its fast image-making AI, Nano Banana 2.1. It works like a super-fast digital artist for your company, cutting production costs in half while fixing common AI mistakes. The Big Changes for Leaders - Half the Price: Creating images now costs roughly 50% less across the board. Running campaigns, testing visual ads, and building pitch decks just became twice as cost-effective - Keeps People and Products Looking the Same: Older tools often changed a person’s face or a product's look from one picture to the next. Version 2.1 can look at up to 14 reference photos at once, keeping up to 4 people and 10 products completely consistent across a whole campaign. - Smarter Editing: You can now point to one specific spot—like swapping a shirt color or fixing a logo on a desk—without accidentally messing up the rest of the picture. - Readable Words and Charts: It actually spells words correctly inside images. You can now use it to mock up billboards, menus, flyers, and infographics without garbled fake text. - Fits Any Screen Shape: It easily creates ultra-wide website banners or tall phone formats without stretching, repeating, or tearing the picture. - Thinks Before Drawing: The tool now pauses for a fraction of a second to map out complicated scenes before it generates them, resulting in far fewer unusable "throwaway" images. Has anyone tried it yet?

I recently chatted in a parenting group about how to prep for the week. Well one thing I called out was I use ChatGPT for my full meal plan including my toddler meals. I also stated I give it my shopping list and then have it organize it by aisle as you would go through the store. Had me thinking..... What is the most interesting off the wall task, build, use of AI you have had so far? How creative are we getting with our AI use cases?
