An angel investor's take on life and business

Google’s new Nano Banana Pro is the best image model I’ve ever tested. From hilarious fake photos to serious infographics, this model excels. 

Yesterday, Google dropped Nano Banana Pro. This new model can create infographics from data you provide, adjust camera angles, and even turn blueprints into realistic structures. 

Let me show you what this thing can do…

Round #1: To Have and to Hold

Let’s start with something fun. Trump and Elon recently made up at a White House meeting. But what if they took their relationship to the next level?

I gave Nano Banana Pro a detailed prompt to produce a picture of their wedding. It did an incredible job, right down to the black and gray sneakers I told it to put on Elon.

When I ask other image models to make a picture of a famous person, it often doesn’t look like them. But Nano Banana Pro nails it. 

I’m giving this round an A!

Round #2: Make Me a Logo

How about something more practical?

Lately, I’ve been toying with the idea of a telehealth platform for dogs. Imagine if you could have a vet pop up on your screen any time Fido is sick.

Let’s call the new company Wellby. Can Nano Banana Pro make a good logo for it? 

I prompted Pro to give me a logo that’s minimalist, black and white, and makes my business seem trustworthy. Let’s see what it comes up with… 

The logo Pro gave me isn’t bad, but it feels a little generic. There wasn’t anything particularly interesting or special about it.

I’ll give this round a B. 

Round #3: Making an Infographic

A lot of founders struggle with calculating ARR correctly. Every day, I meet companies that get it wrong.

How about an infographic explaining how to calculate ARR? As a source, I used a great post from SaaS Academy

Pro gave me a wonderful, detailed graphic that explains how ARR works. It did a great job of explaining what to add and what to take out to arrive at the correct number.

I’m giving this round an A. 

Wrap-Up

Overall, I’m giving Nano Banana Pro an A- in my testing.

This is the best image model I’ve used so far. It excels across the board, from making silly images to useful infographics. 

Pro is great at following my instructions. But the flip side is that the images feel a little generic and less creative. I’d like to see them inject a bit more creativity into the model. 

Nonetheless, Nano Banana Pro is a fantastic way to create images. If you need pictures for your business or just want to make silly photos for fun, this is for you!
