Gemini adds a small-business hub that keeps images on brand

For marketing, the new part is brand memory. Upload your colours, fonts, brand kit or website once, and every image Gemini draws with Nano Banana 2.1, Google’s newest image model, follows that style, launch visuals and campaign posts alike.

Gemini now connects to Workspace, Google Ads and Business Profile, and to outside apps including Shopify, Canva, Xero, Adobe and Wix. Another feature builds charts and working financial models from receipts, purchase records and spreadsheets. Connecting more apps also means trusting Google’s AI with more sensitive business data, Social Media Today points out.

The model behind the images sits at the cheap end of the market: through the Gemini API, Nano Banana 2.1 costs $0.0504 per 2K image, or $0.0252 in batch mode (our Nano Banana prices, checked 23 October). In the Gemini app, image limits run from the free tier up to Google AI Ultra at $199.99 a month.

With the brand kit stored and Nano Banana 2.1 at $0.0504 a 2K image through the API, 100 on-brand campaign images cost about $5 in generation.
