OpenAI is stepping into the AI 3D portrait sector. Google launched its Nano Banana in August and went viral within days. Challenging Google’s dominance, ChatGPT received its AI action portraits update. Using this new feature in ChatGPT, users can change ordinary photos into 3D superhero-style action figures.
The best part is that they can add customized outfits, unique names, and other personalizations. Introduced for both fun and creativity, this feature is built into ChatGPT, making it easier for millions of users to access.
Recently, AI-generated images have taken the world by storm. After Google launched Nano Banana for creative and fun style transformation, OpenAI has entered the space with its new AI model, named AI Action Portrait, which turns a regular photo into a stylish, 3D superhero avatar.
Just like its rival, OpenAI has also integrated this 3D photo-making feature directly into ChatGPT to make the use easier for everyone. The process requires users to upload a photograph and describe the look they are aiming to achieve.
Once the prompts are properly given, AI creates a virtual action figure that can be placed inside a collectible-style box with labels, costumes, pets, or side characters. This feature then encourages personalization and storytelling, unlike any other AI imaging tool, wherein each portrait could epitomize a spark of the user's creativity.
This model utilizes OpenAI’s multimodal model capabilities. The process takes a few seconds, but getting the desired outcome requires detailed prompts:
Upload a Clear Photo: The higher the image quality, the better the render.
Describe the Look: Describe the look properly, or else, GPT may make the image randomly.
Add a Personal Touch: Sidekicks, labels, or unusual props can be added, but they require a clear description of what users want.
The more precise the prompts, the closer the output generated by the AI will be to the intended result. This makes the process more engaging, creative, and interactive.

The launch of OpenAI's AI Action Portraits is a strategic play to compete with Google Nano Banana. This AI tool gained massive popularity for its hyper-realistic AI-generated images, which were rendered with barely any user input. While Nano Banana emphasizes the speed and realism aspects, ChatGPT, on the other hand, focuses on personalization, storytelling, and integrating itself within an existing ecosystem of AI.
This is indicative of a larger rivalry between the two tech giants, who are trying to offer engaging and unique experiences. As a result, the competition will spur rapid innovation, leading to the creation of better interactive AI tools for consumers.
ChatGPT's AI Action Portraits are indeed more than a mere fun feature. They are OpenAI's artistic alternative to Google Gemini. With its customization, OpenAI heightens itself to greater heights. It will be exciting to see which AI image generation tool gets the most popularity in the coming weeks.
