How does it compare to say Google's AIStudio xyz and what are its' strengths and weaknesses for newsletters and book writing.

10 Things the Nano Banana Generation Tool CAN Do: (nano banana used as an example)

  • Create an original image of a nano banana from a text prompt

  • Generate an image of 100 tiny nano bananas

  • Place nano bananas around or on top of a regular banana

  • Render nano bananas in various settings (e.g., on a table, in a scientist’s lab, on a spoon)

  • Show nano bananas in artistic styles (cartoon, photorealistic, watercolor, etc.)

  • Change the color, ripeness, or appearance of the nano bananas

  • Make conceptual images or visual metaphors with nano bananas (e.g., “nano bananas as currency”)

  • Create playful patterns or backgrounds using nano banana motifs

  • Place nano bananas next to other objects for scale comparison

  • Produce unique, copyright-safe nano banana images for chapter covers, email headers, or story illustration

10 Things the Nano Banana Tool CANNOT Do (or does poorly):

  • Add legible, accurate text directly onto a nano banana image (text often appears garbled)

  • Precisely change existing text or numbering in a generated image

  • Insert a nano banana into a real, uploaded family photo with perfect realism

  • Consistently reproduce the exact same nano banana shape or style across multiple sessions

  • Place nano bananas in very specific, user-drawn positions (AI interprets general directions, not pixel-perfect placements)

  • Recreate logos, trademarks, or other exact graphical elements onto a nano banana

  • Produce scientifically accurate diagrams or labeled schematics (miscellaneous results)

  • Output animated GIFs or videos (static images only)

  • Offer deep image editing functions like background removal or advanced Photoshop-style retouching

  • Guarantee photorealism at professional/commercial print standards (result is often “AI-realistic,” not true photo quality)

Great Uses for a Nano Banana Tool in a Newsletter or Book:

  • Make memorable feature images for articles/stories about new AI tools or synthetic biology

  • Create playful visual metaphors about scale, size, or technology breakthroughs

  • Illustrate fun comparisons (“nano banana next to normal banana”)

  • Instantly generate custom covers, dividers, or themed section headers

  • Visualize experimental ideas or hypothetical products for a scientific audience

  • Bring humor and whimsy to technical writing or newsletters

  • Boost social media engagement by showcasing your unique nano banana art

  • Use as icebreaker images or conversation starters in presentations

  • Make downloadable stickers, badges, or bookmarks for readers

  • Build up a collection of branded visuals—your very own “nano banana” image set for future publishing

Here are 10 concise points comparing a "nano banana image generator" to a typical AI studio image editor (like Adobe Firefly, Canva AI, or Google’s AI Studio):

Nano Banana Generator vs. AI Studio Image Editor

Nano Banana Image Generator

AI Studio Image Editor

1. Designed for a single concept: nano bananas

Designed for broad creative tasks: any subject

2. Outputs fast, themed, custom images from prompts

Offers advanced editing, compositing, and retouching

3. Creates entirely new images (generative AI)

Can both make and precisely edit images

4. No manual editing or drawing features

Has brush, eraser, crop, text and layer tools

5. Cannot add overlays or text accurately

Can add, move, and style text precisely

6. Limited to one style/domain: bananas (fun/novelty)

Supports many subjects, brands, and pro workflows

7. No multi-step revisions—each prompt stands alone

Images can be layered, adjusted, versioned

8. Always copyright-safe, original content

May blend stock, uploads, and generative assets

9. Not intended for photo manipulation or enhancement

Excels at photo/graphic manipulation

10. Best for visual metaphors, fun, quick illustrations

Best for polished graphics, print, ads, presentations

Summary:

  • The nano banana tool is ideal for quick, whimsical image generation centered on one novel idea, without manual editing or complex layouts.

  • An AI studio editor offers a versatile suite of professional tools for advanced editing, brand visuals, and content creation across many subjects—great for when you need detailed control and customization.

Tips on using Perplexity Comet as a web browser:

Say You’re an Author on Amazon KDP https://kdp.amazon.com/

You login and this is what you are faced with. that list of links on the left is twice as long as what you see above. If you’re new, where do you start. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to just ask questions about KDP and where info is on the site?

Well until KDP adds a chatbot to their site (which will probably be never), you can use Perplexity’s Comet’s Assistant you can see on the left. That large black column above.

You can ask questions such as:

  • How do I write an ebook and schedule a release.

  • What tools should I use to author and prepare the ebook

  • what should I do first?
    etc.

You can even ask the assistant to suggest questions:
“what are some good questions to ask about this site”?

it replied with:

Here are some good questions you could ask me about the KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) Help Center site:

  • What are the step-by-step instructions to publish a book on KDP?

  • How can I format my manuscript for Kindle devices using KDP guidelines?

  • What are KDP's content and copyright policies?

  • How does KDP's royalty structure work, and how do I choose between 35% and 70% royalties?

  • How do I update or edit a published book on Amazon KDP?

  • What are the best practices for optimizing my book's discoverability on KDP?

  • What promotional tools (like Kindle Deals, Free Promotions) does KDP offer authors?

  • How do I track book sales and royalties on the KDP dashboard?

  • What file formats are accepted by KDP for ebooks and paperbacks?

  • How do I fix common errors during the KDP publishing process (manuscript, cover, metadata)?

Feel free to ask any of these, or specify a topic (publishing, editing, payments, promotions), and I can provide detailed guidance and synthesize the most up-to-date help from the site!

How about that for helping with helping?

as it turns out, any site you use with a browser can benefit from this support by an AI Browser: Facebook, Beehiiv, ebay, social security site, youtube, news sites, , even other chatbots - a chatbot helping with a chatbot!.

The ai browser assistant can help suggesting improvements to itself to the developer group just by asking it to, avoiding the hassle of the fill in forms.

With mine, I’m trying to develop a “shortcut command language” so make complex steps easier by just typing or saying a single word like “copyu” to replace the copy paste keystroke sequence we have to do so much now.

In the future i’ll explore the use of an AI Browser with many different sites and put the experiences into a book.

Some youtubes I watched last week

Remember to visit Mike at the AI Video School on youtube. (https://www.youtube.com/@aivideoschool) addresses this idea when it comes to AI video production.

The get the ai to write the prompt concept applies to any AI production, including other kinds of media and even code.
