Hello and happy Tuesday! Happy thanksgiving (this Thursday) for our American friends.
As part of our mission to educate more people about AI, we’ve got a deep dive on Google's newly released Nano Banana Pro...bottom line...it's Pro.
Also... keep your eye out for a big announcement from us in the next few days!
Let’s jump in…
🔎 Preview: In today's issue
- 🤔 Google Gemini Nano Banana Pro explained
- 📺 THIS is what an AI power-user looks like 🔥 (Unmissable talk)

Gemini Nano Banana Pro
Here's a rundown of what was released alongside the results of our own tests.
🚀 What was released
- Nano Banana Pro is the Gemini 3 Pro Image Model for creating and editing images with studio-level precision. It supports text rendering, complex layouts, and multi-image workflows.
- Note: To use Nano Banana Pro you need to link a payment card to your Google account.
🎯 High level capabilities
- Clear text: Sharp, legible typography for posters, diagrams, and product mockups; supports translation inside images. (This is valid, see test below)
- Real-world knowledge: Annotate images, build infographics, and convert notes into diagrams; by searching the web.
- Localisation: Generate region-specific variants, accurately translate taglines, and preserve product design.
- Design and transformation: Turn sketches into realistic objects, build identity systems across mockups, and maintain consistent style.
- Studio control: Choose angles and shot types, adjust colour and lighting (including day/night), and apply effects.
- Upscaling aspect ratios: Output at 1k/2k/4k; switch aspect ratios while keeping subjects locked in position.
- Subject consistency: Keep up to five characters and fourteen objects consistent across scenes; blend multiple references.
- Batch exploration: Generate multiple frames or options sequentially to iterate quickly.
It's worth visiting the Gemini 3 Nano Banana release page but here are some examples and some tests we ran.
An ecommerce infographic test.
What's interesting to note is that it reasons before creating and then reasons on the image.
🎯 Text is PERFECT and content is valid.
It's seriously impressive how good the text is compared to previous AI image models.
However...
We tried to upgrade to 16:9 and 4K quality by branching and doing a rerun...which it did but then it lost the original design.
This will need a deeper dive.
Some more examples:
1️⃣ Prompt a sketch then prototype products
The prompt is fundamental (still). If you don't have the language easily; use Pinterest or an image platform to get inspiration first then focus on the prompt
Browse instagram to get ideas for your style
2️⃣ Remove steps by not needing to crop images
3️⃣ Clear, Polished text is a reality
🤓 How to use
- Use in Gemini consumer app but to remove the watermark using Google AI Studio (also where you can use Gemini 3 to create spectacular front end experiences). You need to setup billing and provide an API.
🌶️ Our hot take
Image generation is very close to pro level and will only get better. We see new businesses (however niche) solving clear pain points with asset creation either at scale or for the user who doesn't want to access via API.

🇹🇭 Create With in Asia 🍾
Yesterday James hosted our first Create With Meetup in Bangkok! This one has been sold out for weeks, with 150 people registered.
With four expert speakers and plenty of networking, it was a great opportunity to talk about software and automations with all these new friends.
A big thanks to our speakers and to Make for sponsoring as part of the #MakeAIWorldTour.
📺 THIS is what an AI power-user looks like 🔥
This video from our recent Create With London meetup is one of the best talks we've seen at any of the meetups. The premise sounded simple enough: Tanveer Mohammed - CTO, No-coder, and AI builder - takes us through 10 of his favourite AI tools.
The reality was we stood back and watched a masterclass unfold before us as Tanveer showed us how he leverages AI on a daily basis, including live demos like deploying a CRM on Railway in real time, web scraping (this one got quite a crowd reaction), and building custom chatbots.
It's a value-packed video and well worth watching!

🔊 On your radar
Keep your finger on the pulse of what we think is hot in the space right now 🔥
⭐ Anything for iOS launches with $100k hackathon
👉 Why it matters: You can now build and ship mobile apps from your phone using voice. Projects sync to web, include AI, backend, database, payments, integrations, hosting, and one‑click App Store submit. Handy for founders and no‑code builders to prototype in minutes and iterate anywhere.
⭐ Design mode for Replit: AI‑assisted UI design
👉 Why it matters: Replit now has an AI design experience focused on clean, usable UIs, powered by Gemini 3.0. You can draft professional layouts in minutes, then upgrade to a full stack project. Useful for founders and PMs who need quick site or app visuals without hiring a designer.
Matt used Gemini 3.0 and was astounded by the redesign for happyoperators.com
⭐️ Unique features in Google Antigravity
👉 Why it matters: Antigravity lets agents test web apps directly, you can review artefacts live, set the agent’s autonomy level, and generate assets with Gemini 3 Pro. It’s flexible, practical, and suits how developers and makers actually work.

🐒 AI in the wild
Fun, interesting, or innovative ways real people use AI in their daily lives and work.
Screenshot from our community slack
You probably already know AI can help you brainstorm ideas for your business.
But did you know it can also be your technical co-pilot, turning "someday" projects into working solutions
Create With community member Ed runs a whisky bottle storage business and had been putting off building critical processes for months. The technical complexity felt overwhelming...until he sat down with Claude as his sidekick.
In one focused session, he built a complete automated backup system for his Supabase database:
- Daily backups running automatically on VPS
- Slack alerts if anything fails
- Smart retention that keeps 14 days daily, 8 weeks weekly, 12 months monthly
- Fully tested restore functionality
No special tools needed—just standard Claude walking him through Docker installation, n8n setup, security configurations, and custom scripts.
Ed went from zero automation to a production-ready system protecting all his bottles inventory. The difference Having AI as a patient technical partner to work through each challenge.
🤓 Supabase for bootstrappers
"I found Claude was responsive to my ideas rather than suggesting things to me. So the end result is money saved from not having to upgrade Supabase (each backup counts as activity as well so Supabase won't put the database to sleep if not touched for a week) and data securely backed up.
🎯 Why this matters
This shows how AI democratises technical capability. You don't need to be a developer to build robust business systems: you just need the right AI sidekick to guide you through the complexity. Sometimes the barrier isn't the technology itself, but having someone to think through it with you.

We’d love to feature you next.
💭 Final Thoughts
What would you do with 575 million hours?
Hopefully vibe code an app or two.
Apparently that's the amount of time Europeans spend clicking on cookie banners each year.
Thankfully the EU is considering asking browsers to manage user cookie preferences rather than each site needing its own ugly popup.
See you next week!
With good vibes ✨
