❯ Google is found to be developing “Superprojects” for Gemini, and a Nano Banana 2.1 label appears in Flow

Two unconfirmed findingsBoth items below come from observation of Google’s app code and interface, and Google has confirmed neither. TestingCatalog, which tracks unreleased features, said on October 5 that Google is developing a feature for Gemini internally named “Superprojects.” It is the next iteration of Projects and will replace Notebook projects in Gemini, with files and chat sessions in these projects accessible across various Google products.

Chats, email and calendar in one workspaceAccording to Crypto Briefing, Superprojects surfaced in app teardowns in September under the internal name “Robin Superproject,” and aims to let users combine chats, emails, calendar events and notes into a single workspace. The Notebook projects it would replace launched only in April, and there is no firm launch date.

Nano Banana 2.1Nano Banana is Google’s image generation model, and the current Nano Banana 2 is officially Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. In late September TestingCatalog found a “Nano Banana 2.1” label in the web build of Google Flow, replacing an earlier “2.5 Flash” reference. On October 5 it said 2.1 appears to be available in Flow, but the output looks similar to Nano Banana Pro and it is unclear whether requests are actually routed to a new model.

What these signs suggestIf Superprojects is real, Google is putting material scattered across its products in one place for Gemini to use, the same direction as the project and workspace features OpenAI and Anthropic have introduced recently. But names and labels in code are often changed or dropped before launch, and until Google announces something, neither the details nor the timing can be relied on.

▮ SIGNALEvery assistant is competing for the “project” container, because whoever holds a user’s files, email and calendar becomes the default place to work.
