Google adds small-business tools to Gemini for marketing and finance

Google is adding small-business tools to its Gemini app, including a dedicated hub for brand development, financial analysis and customer insights, with a global rollout beginning in the coming days. Owners can connect Google services and third-party apps, save brand guidelines such as fonts and color palettes, and use Gemini with its Nano Banana 2.1 image model to create consistent marketing visuals. The assistant can also turn spreadsheets, receipts and purchase records into visual summaries and interactive financial models. Google says the tools are intended to save owners time; it cites a French ceramicist who uses Gemini to create business content and reports saving two to three hours a day.
