Google is rolling out Pics in Workspace, letting people click a part of an AI-made image and leave a note to change just that area.
In short: Google is introducing Pics for Google Workspace, a web app that lets you click a specific part of an AI-generated image and leave a note to change only that part.
Google announced a new AI image generation app for its Workspace suite (apps like Docs and Gmail). It is called Pics. The goal is to make it easier to revise AI-made images without rewriting a long text prompt every time.
Instead of typing a full new request, you can click the exact area you want to change and add a short note, like leaving a comment in a Google Doc. In Google’s demo, an employee editing a child’s birthday invite clicked on a cat image and wrote a note asking for a dog instead. She also clicked on the address text to change that text directly, and then asked Pics to apply the edits.
The demo image updated after a short wait, but The Verge noted the “dog” still looked a lot like a cat. Google says Pics is powered by a mix of Gemini and its Nano Banana 2 image model (an image model is the system that creates or edits pictures based on instructions).
Pics is rolling out first as a standalone web app for “trusted testers.” Google plans to make it available later this summer for subscribers to Google’s AI Ultra plan. Over time, Google says it wants to build Pics into other Workspace apps so people can create and edit images without switching tools.
Many people find AI image editing frustrating because small changes can require lots of back and forth. A click and note approach is more like pointing at a typo and asking for a fix, instead of rewriting the whole paragraph.
