Beyond the hype: 5 practical ways to use AI-powered visual content at work

Generative AI has made it easier and faster than ever to create high quality visual content. This can make your marketing campaigns, customer presentations, or internal trainings really standout, but knowing where to start can feel daunting. For businesses, the real challenge isn't just generating an image or video, it's generating one that is accurate, relevant, and actually useful to your work.

That’s why we’ve recently integrated Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) and Veo 3.1, Google’s state-of-the-art image and video generation models, directly in Google Workspace* to help you uplevel your creative game. And because Nano Banana Pro is connected to Google Search’s vast knowledge base, it understands the real world — meaning you can generate visuals that are grounded in reality, not just imagination.

Here are five practical ways you can use AI-generated images and video to drive real business results.

1. Create more visual presentations

We all know what good slide design looks like when we see it, but creating it hasn’t always been easy. This is where AI can help. The next time you’re creating a pitch or presentation in Google Slides, use Nano Banana Pro to enhance or add custom, relevant elements into any image. Have a slide that’s looking flat? With one click, the new Beautify this slide feature transforms your current slide into a compelling visual with accurate, legible text while modeling the look and feel of the overall deck.

You can also now generate detailed, professional infographics directly in Slides, all with just a prompt. Nano Banana Pro is connected to Google Search’s vast knowledge base, meaning it does an incredible job at representing real-world objects and places, all while taking into account the details you describe. Consider turning your company, product, or customer satisfaction data into high-quality infographics that are easier for your customers or prospects to digest. Try it at slides.new.

2. Create dynamic product shots

High quality product shots used to require a physical photoshoot. With Nano Banana Pro, you can now quickly create high-quality product shots by uploading a photo of your product and placing it in different situations just by describing it. Whether you need a fresh look for a web page, online ad, or catalog, you can instantly create professional-grade visuals that put your product in the perfect context, saving you time and resources while elevating your brand consistency. Try it at gemini.google.com.

Note: the images are created without a watermark, which is available to Google AI Ultra for Business subscribers.

3. Scale multi-format campaigns in minutes

A successful campaign needs to resonate with your audience across multiple channels, but adapting content for each platform can be time consuming. Now, you can quickly adjust assets for different campaigns, allowing you to resize them for different social media platforms or other digital channels. You can even translate text on your assets into new languages to scale your assets globally. Start by uploading an image, or generating a central, “hero image” with high-quality text overlay using Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app. To find what resonates with your audience, consider creating multiple variations to A/B test by slightly tweaking your prompts.

4. Generate animated videos from your imagery

To make your presentations even stronger, amp up your visual storytelling, and build engaging content, you can now generate videos from images using Veo in Google Vids or the Gemini app.

Simply select up to three of your favorite images — either existing ones, or perhaps ones you’ve generated using AI — write a prompt on how you want the images to come together (or add motion to a single image), and Veo will take care of the rest. The result? A short, high-quality video that blends your images together and is the perfect asset for social media, presentations, or your website. Try it at vids.new.

5. Uplevel your internal trainings with video storytelling

Internal training materials or presentations can often be dense and unengaging, making it hard to capture your audience’s attention. With Google Vids, you can easily transform documents or presentations into dynamic video-based training that sticks. While Vids offers a rich library of stock content, you can now make your training feel more on-brand and relevant by generating your own visuals. With the power of Veo in Vids, you can generate short, specific video clips that visualize complex concepts instantly. This isn't just about making things look pretty; it's about using visual storytelling to ensure your team actually understands and remembers the material long after the training ends. Visual learners, rejoice! Try it at vids.new.
