Chapter 1: How has AI transformed photo editing?

0.031 - 19.499 Kim Komando

It used to take a graphic designer hours of work and major skills to fix one single photo. Now it takes you seconds with this AI tool. Nano Banana 2 is the best AI image model right now. It's built right into Gemini, Google's AI chatbot. So let's say you took a great selfie at the beach, but there's an ugly trash can in the background.

Just upload that picture into Gemini and say, remove the trash can. From there, it doesn't just blur it out. It actually reconstructs what should be there.

Chapter 2: What is Google's Gemini and its features?

27.749 - 47.228 Kim Komando

The sidewalk, sky, sand, waves, whatever fits. It was like that trash can was never there. You can get fancier and go big. Tell it to make the sky a bright sunset or add me as a surfer on the waves in the background. This is the stuff that used to cost you a Photoshop subscription and a YouTube tutorial. Now, it just costs about 30 seconds.

Next up, a call for my weekend show, the Kim Commando Show. Enjoy! As we head into spring, I've been looking for fewer distractions and more focus during my day, whether I'm working, traveling, or just taking a break. I've been using Raycon's Everyday Earbuds Classic, and they've become my daily go-to.

The active noise cancellation blocks out background noise so I can concentrate on my calls, music, or podcasts. and the sound is crisp and clear. They've also added smart upgrades. Multipoint connectivity lets me pair with two devices at once. The ergonomic fit is comfortable and stays put, no matter what I'm doing. And I'm loving the cool mint color. It's fresh.

You can even look at some of the bigger companies like IBM because they're also selling solution platforms. You want to look at us being a technical sales, a solutions engineer. Because I made so much money at that. It was unbelievable. I was 25 years old selling computer systems for Unisys, making $200,000 a year then. And that was all the way back in the late 90s. Oh, my God. It was in 1952.
