Whisk is an experimental AI tool by Google that enables you to easily generate images based on visuals you provide it. Simply throw in a couple of images and Whisk will “capture their essence to suggest some images for you to keep ideating on”.
Whisk is designed to help users interact with generative AI without having to learn how to prompt. So, when you upload images to Whisk, the latter uses Gemini to generate detailed captions for the images which then feed into Google image generation model Imagen 3. All of this happens at the back end and you don’t get to see any of it.

How Whisk AI Works: A Simple Breakdown
Whisk is simple and easy to use. Here is a detailed breakdown how of how it works:
- Upload an image, drag and drop a file, or even generate a visual from a text prompt.
- You can also get random inspiration using โInspire Meโ or โRoll the Dice.โ
- The AI (Gemini) analyzes the visuals and creates captions describing them, which Whisk then uses.
- If something seems off, you can edit the descriptions to fine-tune what Whisk understands.
- Pick the elements you want to combine (characters, backgrounds, styles).
- The AI creatively remixes them into new compositions.
- Add specific instructions like
- โMake the characters eat ice cream.โ
- โThe dinosaur and the cat are high-fiving!โ
- โUse a pastel color palette.โ’
- If something goes off track (like missing elements or weird results), you can:
Check the underlying AI prompt
Manually adjust it for better accuracy
Regenerate options until you get what you need
Whisk gives you full control over AI-generated visuals, whether youโre remixing, refining, or diagnosing, it keeps the process flexible and creative!
Creative Ways Teachers Can Use Whisk in the Classroom
Whisk offers an exciting ways to bring creativity and interactivity into your lessons. Here are some engaging ideas for you to explore:
Story Visualization
Students can describe the beginning of a story and Whisk can generate visuals to bring it to life. You can use this activity for creative writing exercises, book reports, or even illustrating historical events.
Art and Design Projects
Transform student drawings into digital artwork, stickers, or even 3D models. They can explore character design, concept art, or even redesign historical figures in modern settings.
Interactive Geography & History
Have students generate images of different historical periods, locations, or ecosystems. Imagine recreating the Renaissance, designing an ancient Mayan city, or visualizing life on Mars!
STEM & Science Concepts
Help students visualize abstract science topics by generating representations of cells, atoms, ecosystems, or even future space colonies. This can be a game-changer for making complex subjects more engaging.
Please keep in mind that as of right now, Whisk is only available in the US using text inputs in English.ย
