What to know

  • Gemini app now allows users to create custom storybooks, comics, and similar creative content.
  • The feature is rolling out first to Android users, with iOS support expected later.
  • Users can generate stories by providing prompts and customize characters, settings, and themes.
  • This update aims to make AI-powered creativity more accessible and interactive for everyone.

Google has just rolled out a major update to its Gemini app, giving users the power to create their own storybooks, comics, and more with just a few taps. If you've ever wanted to turn your ideas into illustrated stories or comics, this new feature is designed for you.

The update is currently available for Android users, with iOS support expected to follow soon. Once you have the latest version of the Gemini app, you'll notice a new option that lets you start creating storybooks or comics. The process is straightforward: you enter a prompt or idea, and Gemini uses its AI capabilities to generate a story complete with images and dialogue.

What sets this feature apart is the level of customization it offers. You can choose the style of the storybook or comic, select characters, and even tweak the setting or theme. For example, you might ask Gemini to create a bedtime story about a space explorer or a comic strip featuring a group of animal friends. The app then generates a full story, including illustrations, based on your input.

Gemini also allows you to edit the generated content. If you want to change a character's name, adjust the plot, or swap out images, you can do so directly within the app. This makes it easy to personalize the story for yourself, your kids, or anyone else you have in mind.

Google says the goal is to make creative storytelling more accessible and fun, whether you're a parent looking to entertain your child or someone who just enjoys making comics. The feature is powered by Gemini's advanced AI models, which handle both the writing and illustration aspects.

For now, the rollout is focused on Android, but Google has confirmed that iOS users will get access in the near future. The company also hinted at more creative tools coming to Gemini soon, so users can expect even more ways to bring their ideas to life.

If you're eager to try it out, make sure your Gemini app is updated to the latest version. Then, dive in and start creating your own stories and comics with just a few words and a little imagination.
