Breaking: Google adds the “Nano Banana” button to Search on mobile. The Google app is now showing a yellow banana icon as a one-tap shortcut into Nano Banana image creation and AI photo editing. The button routes users into Google Lens “Create” mode and, for some accounts, AI Mode image tools, making “search” feel more like an AI workspace than a results page.

Early rollout signals point to a staged release (feature flags, Labs eligibility, account gating), which explains why some users see the banana button and others do not, even on the same device model. Reported issues include the button disappearing after updates, country or language mismatches, and “Create images” tools showing in AI Mode while the home-screen banana chip is missing. In practice, this is normal for Google Search experiments, especially when AI features are capacity-limited.

If you are tracking SEO, AEO, and GEO: this is a meaningful UX shift. Google is pushing generative image workflows inside Search, which increases the importance of entity clarity, structured data, and brand recall, because users may “create” directly from Search rather than click through to publisher pages.

AI search is shifting from “answers” to “assisted buying.” Google AI Mode is starting to surface product recommendations, incentives, and even checkout flows inside the conversation, powered by the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and pilots like Direct Offers. This guide explains what’s changing, why it matters for ecommerce and performance teams, and how to respond without destroying margin. You’ll get a practical framework for feed readiness, offer governance, and incrementality measurement in the new AI commerce funnel.

GPT-5.2 is here: what’s new, key benchmarks (GDPval, SWE-bench, GPQA, ARC-AGI-2), and how it compares with Gemini 3 and Claude. ChatGPT GPT-5.2 analysed: new Instant/Thinking/Pro tiers, benchmark results, Gemini 3 vs Claude comparisons, and why OpenAI’s “code red” ends by January.

Who wins the next phase of AI search: OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini? In this analysis, Modi Elnadi breaks down what’s happening as GPT-5.2 is reportedly pulled forward under an internal “code red” to answer Gemini 3’s leap in reasoning benchmarks like Humanity’s Last Exam and ARC-AGI-2. The article explains what changed in late 2025, where the battle is playing out (AI Mode in Search, ChatGPT, and enterprise workflows), and why compute economics matter as TPUs challenge GPUs and OpenAI eyes a potential 2026 IPO. It frames the “power shift” through distribution, speed, and cost: Google can push Gemini into Search at scale, while OpenAI must prove ChatGPT feels snappier and reliable for agentic work. You’ll learn how marketers should respond now: multi-source models, measure cost-per-outcome, and shift from keyword SEO/PPC thinking to AEO with schema, FAQs, and answer-first content.
