January 14, 2026 Painter Generate and edit images with the painter tool

Amp can now generate and edit images, which is useful for design inspiration, tweaking mockups, and making visual assets:

• Exploring UI alternatives: "show me 3 different designs for this task dashboard"

• Editing an existing image: "update this dashboard with the changes shown in the attached image"

To use it, ask Amp to use the painter tool explicitly. The painter uses Gemini 3 Pro Image (a.k.a. Nano Banana Pro) under the hood.
