What Google’s Gemini 3 Reveal Means for How We Build in 2026

Imbila.ai turns one year old today.
A year ago, I started Imbila on the belief that AI would dramatically change how consultants and small businesses operate. I felt the potential then. But today, heading into 2026, the reality feels even bigger.

Because the tools are finally catching up to the vision.

1. Vibe Coding: The Shift From Prompts to Products

“Vibe Coding” describes a new mode of building where you don’t code in the traditional sense. You describe what you want, and the system shapes the solution around your intent.

This is exactly how Gemini 3 + AI Studio feel right now.

What I experienced last week:
I built several new apps using Gemini 3 Pro inside AI Studio — and the speed difference is unmistakable. What used to feel like prompt wrestling now feels like a conversation with a partner who can infer structure, context, and flow.

The best example is Deck2Vid, which I shared with a few of you.
It turns slide decks or PDFs into video-ready content in minutes.
A year ago this wasn’t even close to possible at this quality.

This is precisely where Imbila Studio is heading: helping consultants and companies move from “asking AI questions” to building their own AI-powered tools, processes, and micro-apps.

2. Nano Banana Pro: The New Visual Workhorse

Nano Banana Pro has quickly become the visual engine I reach for every day.

This week alone, on holiday, I generated:

• Infographics about Singapore
• Visual guides for Thailand
• Quick cultural explainers
• Travel briefs for the family

The depth and clarity are wild. And the creative control is far beyond what was possible even six months ago.

Then NotebookLM added its new slides feature — and it’s a game changer.
Clean deck structure, coherent visuals that are agency quality

Those new slides actually sparked the idea for Deck2Vid, the AI slide-narrator app I shared. The pipeline from “idea → demo” has never been this fast.

3. Google’s Full-Stack Strategy Explains Why This Leap Feels Big

Pichai explained something that’s easy to feel but hard to articulate:
Google is accelerating because it owns the entire stack — chips, data centers, models, and applications.

For builders, this means the tools don’t improve in isolation.
When Google upgrades one layer, everything above it gets better immediately.

From a Studio perspective, this is gold.
It means:

• AI Studio is getting more stable
• Models are getting smarter
• Visual tools are getting tighter
• Agent workflows are becoming real

And that enables real, practical apps — not just experiments.

4. “This Is the Worst It Will Ever Be” — And Why That Matters for Building

Pichai repeats a phrase that feels more relevant than ever:

“This is the worst the technology will ever be.”

It sounds dramatic, but it’s true.
And for consultants, teams, and small businesses, this mindset matters because:

• Waiting for “perfect” tools is a trap.
• Skills compound even as tools change.
• Building now positions you for the next wave.

And honestly — after this week working with Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro — I believe it more than ever.

Imbila Studio Enters Year Two

The leap from prompting → building is happening now.

Over the last year, Imbila Studio has slowly taken shape as a place to:

• experiment
• learn
• prototype
• co-build AI tools
• turn ideas into internal assets
• help consultants and companies extend their own capabilities

But Gemini 3 and the latest releases have shifted the gear entirely.

AI Studio is now ready to help you build real, working AI-powered solutions — faster than you think, and far beyond what was possible even a year ago.

I’m working on a batch of new demos and micro-apps, and I’ll be sharing them soon as part of workshops, courses, and hands-on sessions with Imbila readers and clients.

Year one was about exploring what’s possible.
Year two is about building it.

If you want help moving from prompts → products, the Imbila Studio offering is where your next step begins.
