How do you use Nano Banana to create ecommerce product photos?

Short answer: Sam Nadler says he photographs each 3D printed charm, uploads it to Nano Banana in Google AI Studio and prompts it to add the charms to a hoodie and a model, and it very rarely needs a second prompt.

Sam Nadler [13:27]: We wanted to create a couple of the models in the pictures. In the banner image, obviously, you can see some of these charms are way too big, but I actually think that's good, because it makes it more obvious as to what we're selling. And just to give, like, a really quick demo here, I have, my chat with Nano Banana on Google AI Studio. Yeah. So, basically, I'm just I print out the little charms, take a picture, throw it into Google AI Studio, give it a quick prompt, add these charms to a yellow hoodie. Every single time it's come out perfect, then I prompt it again. You know, add this to a 11 to 13 year old girl with, black pants and white shoes, whatever kind of graphic I give. Almost, very rarely do I have to reprompt it. For this use case, it's been, that I've been using in the past week trying to help her get the site ready. It's been really great. And boom. We get this, AI generated. You can see the charms, see the girl that's in the demo, the jeans, and the black Converse. So, the previous images had no background, so I'd probably remove the background. But most of the time, it hasn't even required a additional prompt to get it right.

Sam Nadler [14:49]: Yeah. That's how I've been using Nano Banana for my daughter's ecommerce website. Okay. After some minor technical difficulties, we've decided do the news side by side covering two quick news stories today. What's hot in news, Jordan?
