At Rapid, we’re putting a lot of energy to integrate AI into our workflow — not as a novelty, but as a way to make product communication faster, smarter, and more effective. Through our OneCX platform, we combine the agility of AI with the precision of 3D digital twins. The result is a workflow where creativity doesn’t slow down and accuracy is never compromised.

This approach helps brands stay competitive in a world where speed and scalability are everything. Whether it’s launching a new product, localizing campaigns across markets, or testing out creative directions, OneCX ensures companies can adapt quickly without losing sight of product truth.

And right now, a new AI model is making waves across the industry: Nano Banana.

Why Nano Banana Matters
Every once in a while, a model comes along that feels like a step change. Nano Banana is one of those moments. It’s fast, it’s creative, and it opens up entirely new possibilities for visual storytelling and product communication. For certain use cases, it’s not just good — it’s revolutionary.

But what makes it so exciting isn’t just the technology itself. It’s how Nano Banana can be plugged into workflows like OneCX to amplify speed and creative freedom, while still being anchored in the reliability of 3D.

Where Nano Banana Shines
We’re already seeing several commercial applications where Nano Banana delivers real value:

  • Architecture & Real Estate – Instantly test new façade colors, swap materials, or reimagine a design on the fly. It gives developers and architects a faster, more visual way to communicate with clients.
  • Interior Inspiration – Take a basic kitchen layout and quickly explore materials, wall colors, or lighting moods. Customers can see options come to life instantly, shortening the path from idea to decision.
  • Localized Campaigns – Place a product in multiple environments or cultural contexts within minutes. One day it’s a car on a snowy Scandinavian road, the next it’s in sunny California — all without the cost and time of new photo shoots.

In these scenarios, Nano Banana gives brands unprecedented agility. It reduces costs, accelerates creativity, and makes experimentation a natural part of the process.

Why 3D Still Matters
Of course, speed and creativity are only half the story. Nano Banana can generate compelling visuals, but it isn’t product correct. It doesn’t know whether a sofa’s stitching matches production reality, or whether a car’s dimensions are accurate down to the millimeter.

For complex products, brand integrity demands precision. This is where digital twins are essential. A marketing-optimized 3D model ensures geometry, finishes, and materials are always true to the real product. It’s the backbone that guarantees consistency across markets, channels, and campaigns.

The Best of Both Worlds
The real breakthrough happens when you don’t choose between AI and 3D, but combine them. Nano Banana accelerates ideation and inspires new possibilities, while digital twins ensure accuracy, scalability, and trustworthiness.

With OneCX, we orchestrate both. The platform makes it possible to harness AI where it drives speed and creativity, while relying on digital twins for accuracy, which is non-negotiable. For brands, it means less time waiting, more time creating, and a product story that stays consistent everywhere it’s told.

Closing Thought
Nano Banana is generating well-deserved buzz, and for good reason: it’s unlocking new ways to think about product visualization. But the real value lies in how it works together with 3D and platforms like OneCX.

Because the future of product communication isn’t about choosing between AI or 3D.
It’s about combining them — to move faster, inspire more, and always stay true to the product.

The future of product communication is already here. Reach out to see how we can help you harness it.
