Nano Banana Pro is on another level.

Here's what this unlocks for your work:

Google made 4 major improvements with this model.

And these open up business use cases the old version just couldn't handle.

Here's what changed:

𝟭. 𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀

The old model would confidently add text → but misspell words constantly.

The new version? Significantly more accurate.

What this unlocks: 
Social media graphics, ad mockups, YouTube thumbnails → all with readable and correct text.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟰 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁

The old model struggled with 3 reference images.

Now you can upload 14 separate elements → and it blends them into one cohesive scene.

What this unlocks: 
Complex marketing scenes without needing a full production shoot. Your product + person using it + lifestyle background + decorative elements. All combined in seconds.

𝟯. 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴

Nano Banana Pro can now search the web while generating your image.

What this unlocks: 
Infographics in seconds.

And this is huge because infographics usually take forever → you need to research the facts, then actually design the thing.

Now? The model does both at once, grounded in real search results.

𝟰. 𝟰𝗞 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼

The old model was stuck at low resolution.

Now? 4K quality in any aspect ratio you need.

16:9 for YouTube. 9:16 for Stories. 1:1 for LinkedIn.

What this unlocks: Images that are actually ready to use → crisp, professional, platform-ready.

I just published my review of the new Nano Banana Pro and a quick tutorial, showing exactly how you can access it.

Check it out and let me know what you think! 🍌

2025 was the year of AI agents.

Still haven't built one? Let's fix that tomorrow.

I'll be hosting our final 9x live workshop of the year.

We wanted to go out with a bang.

So Aron Korenblit (Gumloop) is joining us and we'll be building 5 AI agents together in 90 minutes.

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝟓 𝐀𝐈 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝟗𝟎 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬
📆 Tuesday, 9th December
      5pm CET 🇪🇺 | 11am EST 🇺🇸 

What we'll cover in the workshop
1. You build alongside us → not just watch demos
2. Free Gumloop credits → follow along in real time
3. Real business use cases → stuff you'll actually use
4. Templates included → customize them after

What you'll walk away with:
→ 5 working agents you built yourself 
→ When to use agents vs automations 
→ How to make agents more reliable over time

We've run a live workshop every week this year.

For our finale, we wanted to make sure you don't enter 2026 still just talking about AI agents.

Already more than 500+ signed up! 

If you want to join let me know and I'll share the details.

Tomorrow, 1,042 people will watch us build live.

Here's what we're making in 60 minutes:

A voice AI agent that handles your post-call work.

You know that feeling after a good discovery call?

The prospect is interested. You've got momentum. But you still need to:

1. Write up your notes
2. Draft a proposal
3. Send the follow-up
4. Update your CRM

That's another 45 minutes. And honestly? It kills the momentum.

Tomorrow at 5PM CET / 11AM EST...

Jacob from Relay.app is building a voice AI consultant you can call. 

When the call ends, it automatically logs insights to a spreadsheet and sends a personalized proposal to your client.

No typing. No context-switching.

This workshop makes sense if you're:
→ Running discovery calls regularly 
→ Scoping projects for clients 
→ Tired of manual follow-up work

We're doing this live. Start to finish. One hour.

Over 1,000 people signed up. Would love to see you there. ❤️

Let me know if you'd like to join and I'll send over the details.

Something's coming next Friday. 🖤
The same AI training we deliver to enterprises.
The biggest discount we'll offer this year.

24 hours only. 

Stay tuned 👀

Make 2025 the year you actually build with AI.

Not just use ChatGPT. Build real workflows.

Our Black Friday offer: AI Operator + AI Builder for €499 (normally €999). 

24 hours only.

Want to know what's included in the offer?

Alexandre recorded this quick video covering how the program is structured, what you'll be able to build, and everything you get in our Black Friday bundle.

Start the year dangerous. Not dabbling.

Link in the comments.

P.S. What's one AI skill you want to have by this time next year?
