Google’s Gemini Nano Banana AI is now available on WhatsApp. The AI startup Perplexity AI made it possible for users to generate realistic images directly in the messaging app. This feature is expected to make Nano Banana even more popular, especially in India, which has the largest number of users.
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas showed how it works. On X, he said users can now use the AI without opening Google’s Gemini app or AI Studio.
What is Nano Banana AI?
Nano Banana, also called Google’s Flash Image Model 2.5, is an AI tool that can create realistic images from text prompts. From 4K retro portraits to viral saree edits, it produces lifelike visuals in seconds.
Before WhatsApp, people mainly used Nano Banana through the Gemini app or Google AI Studio. The AI became popular worldwide because of its ability to create stunning images quickly.
How to Use Nano Banana on WhatsApp?
- Using Nano Banana on WhatsApp is easy:
- Save +1 (833) 436-3285, the Perplexity AI WhatsApp number.
- Start a chat with the bot.
- Upload an image (optional) and type a prompt describing the image you want.
- The AI generates a detailed, high-quality image based on your prompt.
Users say detailed prompts give the best results. For example:
“A close-up, professionally composed photograph showcasing a hand-crocheted yarn doll gently cradled by two hands… The overall image conveys a sense of exquisite craftsmanship and cherished warmth.”
The AI produces the same high-quality images as it does on Google apps.
Nano Banana on WhatsApp: Free or Paid?
Perplexity hasn’t confirmed if the WhatsApp version is fully free. Google offers limited free usage, with paid plans giving more access. The WhatsApp bot will likely follow a similar model.
Why This is Important for India?
India leads in Nano Banana usage. The Gemini app tops both the Apple App Store and Google Play charts. WhatsApp’s huge user base in India means millions more people can now try Nano Banana without downloading another app. This could make AI-generated images common for students, content creators, and small businesses.
Anyone can now use AI with Nano Banana on WhatsApp. Users can create AI art, pre-wedding photos, social media content, or educational visuals instantly. No extra apps are needed, lowering the barrier for anyone with a smartphone.
Why It Matters?
With Nano Banana on WhatsApp, creating realistic AI images is now easier than ever. Perplexity AI has made access simple, and India is likely to lead this viral trend. From fashion edits to personal projects, millions of users can now explore AI art at their fingertips.
