This is a submission for the Google AI Studio Multimodal Challenge

What I Built

Comic AI is a multimodal applet that empowers users to create AI-generated comics with ease and creativity. It solves the challenge of comic creation by allowing users to upload images, refine them using AI, and generate both monochrome and colored comic models. Users can design individual panels, compile multiple pages, and even convert their comics into animated videos. Comic AI also writes its own scripts using Gemini AI, making storytelling seamless and accessible for everyone—from hobbyists to professional creators.

Demo

Here is the showcase the full workflow—from image upload to comic generation and video export.

How I Used Google AI Studio

Comic AI was built using Google AI Studio, leveraging the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model during the free trial period. The app integrates Gemini’s multimodal capabilities to:

Analyze and refine user-uploaded images.
Generate stylized comic panels in both monochrome and color.
Automatically write comic scripts based on visual input or user prompts.
Create animated videos from comic pages.

Gemini’s image understanding and text generation features were central to building a fluid and intelligent comic creation experience.

Multimodal Features

Comic AI uses the following multimodal functionalities:

Image-to-Comic Conversion: Users upload images, which are refined and stylized into comic panels using Gemini’s image processing.
Script Generation: Gemini generates dialogue and narration based on visual context or user prompts.
Panel & Page Assembly: Users can create multiple panels and compile them into full comic pages.
Monochrome & Color Modes: Choose between classic black-and-white or vibrant color styles.
Video Generation: Convert comic pages into animated videos with voiceover and transitions.
Interactive Editing: Users can tweak panels, regenerate scripts, and re-style images in real-time.
