Eric Siu and guests discuss why Google builds excellent products but fails at marketing them. They discovered Gemini through X, not Google's own channels, and highlight a feature called Nano Banana that maintains character consistency across generated images and stories.
Google's products are really good. They're really good. They just suck at like figuring out how to market them. Uh-huh. Yeah. Dude, totally agree with that. But what's interesting is when you look at Google as a company and products, you know, I learned about that product not from them. I learned about it from what social platform if you had to guess? Twitter? Yeah, X. Yeah, yeah. It's all over X. Yeah, yeah, Nano Banana, Nano Banana. So when you open Gemini on your phone, there's a little banana there and you can— and it maintains character consistency. So I asked it to make a picture of me and like make it like into a manga and then make it into a story. And it did that. It was perfect. And then I asked it to combine different images. Anyway, my point is, but dude, you can do it with like, you can do some really cool stuff with celebrities if you really wanted to, assuming you have their authorization and stuff. Yes.
