Google released Gemini as its response to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but the early excitement never quite matched its competitor in terms of hype. However, since its release, Gemini has developed significantly. Now, it is quicker, smarter, and also has features that stand apart from the competition. Among these unique additions is the Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) model, an easy-to-use tool that allows one to create and edit AI images in a surprisingly enjoyable way. This model recently expanded to Google Photos, where it offers even more flexibility to users.
However, it is not only entertainment that Google appears to be working on a practical upgrade that has the potential to improve the workflow of every user who regularly edits AI-generated images.
Currently, Gemini lets users export an image when they are satisfied with the image or regenerate it with a new prompt. While this prompt-based editing is efficient, it still creates possibilities of misunderstandings. Gemini can read instructions in a different way than intended, leading to inaccurate edits.
To help it, Google is working on a more direct and specific method of image editing.
According to leaker @testingcatalog on X, Google is developing an image annotation tool within Gemini. The goal is simple: allow its users to draw or add text to AI-generated images and download them. The users will be able to point, mark, or write exactly where they want, instead of depending on prompts to place objects, labels, or highlights, and this gives the kind of precision that prompts cannot guarantee.
This tool may be especially helpful in practical scenarios. Teachers could highlight areas in diagrams and make notes immediately. Today, that requires exporting the image and opening it in a different editing app. If you regularly change to AI images, this tool might save a lot of time since all the data would remain together in Gemini annotation.
However, as with any Google experiment, nothing is guaranteed. The leak does not confirm when or even whether the tool will be rolled out, and Google has a history of shelving projects on hold before rolling them out.
