Generative AI is evolving at lightspeed. Understanding its capabilities, ensuring its safe use, and knowing how to leverage it to solve business challenges is critical. If you can enhance your business now, why wait? Here's how we can help:

1. Generative AI Consulting
Designed to help businesses unlock the potential of generative AI technologies and tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Bard, etc.). These include assessing AI opportunities, strategizing, and executing implementations that drive business innovation and efficiency.

2. Generative AI Workshop
Tailored to equip teams with the knowledge needed to effectively use generative AI tools, ensuring they can apply these skills from day one.

3. AI-Powered Research and Analytics
This offering provides businesses with timely insights and assistance in identifying growth opportunities, facilitating informed, data-driven decision-making.

Just vibe-coded a workflow app using Gemini 3 Pro. 
It took only 10 minutes to get a functional prototype.
My process:

1. Visit Google AI Studio -> Build
2. Select Gemini 3 pro preview
3. Select Nano Banana powered app
4. Write a prompt with key requirements
5 - 10. Build, test, debug, and iterate

In my prompt, I asked Gemini to build a node-based AI workflow app with these key requirements: 

a minimalistic UI, text/image input nodes, text-to-image and image editing output nodes, resizable nodes, downloadable output, and keyboard shortcuts.

After a few minutes, the prototype worked, but I realized it wouldn’t solve the issue of inconsistent aspect ratios from images edited by Nano Banana.

So, I instructed Gemini to add a crop tool to crop the input images to 1:1, 16:9, or 9:16, aspect ratios easier for Nano Banana to handle and AI video-friendly.

The testing, iteration, and debugging took over an hour until I ended up with a satisfactory version.

Now, it helps you easily build image generation or editing workflows using the free Nano Banana model within Google AI Studio.

Obviously, it’s not a full-scale app, and the models are limited to Google’s offering. But it will come in handy if you just want to explore the AI possibilities and visualize concepts quickly.

I’ll share more during my AI Avatar course next week 🎥 luma.com/cyfk0p6q

This is neither Excel nor Google Sheets. 
It’s my vibe-coded online spreadsheet app 
powered by Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana.

Just had this idea in the morning: 
what if we had Nano Banana in Excel and 
a list of tailored AI functions that actually work?

So, I spent the next 2 hours on Google AI Studio. 
The result? Not just a toy this time, 
but a working prototype.

Key features include the basics of a spreadsheet 
with these AI-powered functions:

=AI("prompt", cell_or_range) 
All-purpose function without customization.

=TRANSLATE("lang", cell) 
Translate selected text into any language.

=PROOFREAD(cell) 
Revise grammar and spelling of selected text.

=SHORTEN("word_count", cell) 
Shorten the selected text based on word count.

=IMAGINE(cell_with_prompt) 
Generate an image using Nano Banana.

=CHANGE("prompt", image_cell) 
Edit a selected image using Nano Banana.

In this demo, I uploaded a half-completed 
storyboard template and used the app to:

Write prompts based on my requirements, 
generate and edit images for the storyboard, 
and perform other tasks like translation.

It worked smoother than I imagined.

This is the essence of vibe coding: 
not copying what’s already in the market, 
but bringing some of your crazy ideas to life 
and tackling very specific challenges.

Obviously, 
it’s not a replacement for fully built software, 
but I have to say, it’s changing how we work 
and will continue reshaping 
our reality in 2026.

Half a year ago, Veo 3 kicked off the era 
of AI video models with native audio.

Now there are at least four leading models that
allow you to generate a video that comes with
native dialogues, ambient noise, and even music.

Yes, all in one.

Soon, you will hear other SOTA models with
native audio capabilities.

We are still 4 weeks away from 2026.
There should be more surprises!

A decade ago, I began my journey with tools powered by machine learning, using them to analyze social media data and advise clients on marketing strategies. It was only recently that I fully embraced the transformative potential of AI, recognizing its capacity to revolutionize how we do business.

Over the past ten years, I've accumulated a wealth of experience in digital analytics, marketing strategy, and consumer research, driving growth and success for businesses across various sectors. My collaborations with Fortune 500 Corporations have allowed me to develop customized digital marketing solutions, and I've established myself as a trusted advisor. I'm proficient in data visualization and productivity tools, and my multilingual skills have enabled me to collaborate effectively across global markets.

As we stand on the brink of the generative AI revolution, I'm eager to share my insights and discuss how we can combine my expertise, and the power of AI to achieve unprecedented outcomes for your business. I invite you to join me on this journey of discovery and innovation. 

For more focused discussions on the potential of generative AI for your unique circumstances, feel free to DM or book an appointment with me.

Nano Banana Pro is exceptional at rendering text.
Every page here was generated or edited by Nano Banana.
My process for character consistency:

Step 1: Build character references 

I used Nano Banana Pro on Flow to transform 3 of my usual characters - a chef, a cat, and a red panda - into a cartoon style.

Step 2: Generate the comic pages 

When generating a new comic page, I gave Nano Banana the 3 characters as references to maintain consistency.

Step 3: Iterate and optimize 

Some images still required more iterations, but the success rate is much higher compared to GPT-4o for the same task. I selected the best out of 4 for most images.

I still can’t believe what used to take multiple tools or numerous iterations to make can now be easily achieved by one AI model.

Special thanks to Jason Mayes for the infographic inspiration!

Nano Banana Pro - Text Rendering Test - Tianyu Xu

Nano Banana Pro + vibe coded PDF Tool
+ 3 prompts = 5 Infographics in 15 minutes👇 

My prompts: 

🔥 Prompt 1 is for Nano Banana Pro. 
Purpose: To identify a style reference. 
"Generate an infographic-style explainer on 
[topic] using a mix of hand-drawn portrait 
and photographic elements."

🔥 Prompt 2 is also for Nano Banana Pro. 
Purpose: To generate the infographics needed. 
"Generate five infographics, one by one, 
based on [topic, e.g., my uploaded ebook] 
and the five themes below, following the 
exact style of the infographic 
generated earlier."

🔥 Prompt 3 is for Google AI Studio.  
Purpose: create a PDF maker and compressor. 
"Create a PDF maker that allows upload of 
multiple images, combines them into a single 
downloadable PDF, and includes an option 
for PDF compression.

I barely iterated anything in this process.
The images below are one-shot results.

Nano Banana Pro is the closest model to
an AI agent that gets designs done
and it’s not even an AI agent.
