Over the past two days we have demonstrated how Nano Banana Pro can turn complex hours-long detail-heavy legislative-jargon-filled congressional briefings from CSPAN into succinct easy-to-understand infographics that render the functioning of democracy instantly accessible to the nation's citizenry in a range of visual styles and even create myriad customized versions for specific constituencies. What would it look like to apply this incredibly powerful new approach to a much wider variety of CSPAN broadcasts, ranging from a complete three hour clip of the live House of Representatives floor cam to hearings, briefings, floor speeches and even a constituent town hall? For these experiments we used only the public enterprise Gemini and Nano Banana APIs and no data was used to train or tune any model.
The results below are nothing short of astonishing: given nothing more than a transcript and a request to transform it into an infographic poster, Nano Banana Pro not only distills down these lengthy complex detail-laden hearings, briefings, speeches and town halls into concise easy-to-understand infographics, but for each image it uses imagery, visual metaphors, color schemes and styling that is a perfect match for that event, suggesting that this could be a powerful new way of translating the functioning of democracy for the American public.
Let's start by pushing Nano Banana Pro to the limit: we will give it the complete transcript of a three-hour clip of the live feed from the floor of the House of Representatives, and ask it to produce an infographic that captures in a single image all of the speeches, debates, statements, proposals, announcements and other legislative actions and words spanning three full hours of the actual functioning of Congress. Incredibly, the poster below actually does all of this and more in a beautiful and extremely understandable image:
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
How about a specific hearing "Lawmakers Hear Testimony on Russia's Kidnapping of Ukrainian Children"? Can Nano Banana Pro turn this nearly-two-hour-long hearing into a single infographic that captures its core details? Incredibly, the image below is one of the most powerful and effective infographics we've ever seen on this topic:
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
Let's run a second time to verify that the incredible results above weren't just the result of random chance. We get a nearly identical image, suggesting both that this incredible representational quality is consistent and that if we want dramatically different results we will need to modify our prompt:
What about this Regan National Defense Forum discussion by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, lawmakers, officials and industry executives on US military strategy?
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
How about the "POTUS Pres. Trump Delivers Remarks at State Dept. Kennedy Center Honors Dinner"?
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
How about "U.S. Senate Sen. Maria Cantwell D-WA on Alaska Oil & Gas Dev. Plan"?
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
How about "State Solicitors General & Attorneys Discuss Supreme Court's Impact Over the Last 20 Years"?
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
What about a press briefing by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on the Democrat's legislative agenda?
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be hung up that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
Let's modify our prompt slightly to emphasize we want the poster itself, not an image of a poster hanging on a wall:
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
We can see instantly that this briefing also heavily emphasizes healthcare:
What about a routine constituent town hall – "Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) held a town hall with constituents in Tucson to answer questions and discuss the issue of rising health care costs":
Create a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached briefing as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the core details. It should cover all of its key details.
