Show HN: Chat with Nano Banana Directly from WhatsApp

[joshwarwick15]

Hey everyone, built this earlier today on my whatsapp no code platform - been going a bit viral between my social groups so thought I'd share with you guys :)

Very cool! I was surprised how fast it generated an image for me! For better US adoption, I recommend to get a +1 phone number instead of +44 .

Thanks! The generation speed is credit to google

Isn’t this gonna cost you a fortune?

I generated a couple of images and at some point it did say I and limited to 10 edits. And I get more if I share in a group text.

I found myself wondering how to purchase more? As I could see it being fun for my kids to play with.

There’s a limit then people can subscribe!

1024x1024 costs $0.03

Is there a way to tell this really is the Google's Flash Image (nano banana) model and not flux etc. After a few prompts, the quality didn't feel like what I was expecting from flash image.

Using from WhatsApp is very convenient though.

[joshwarwick15]

You do have to take my word for it, but there's no reason I'd swap out to another model

but why i dont use https://nanobananagoogle.com/. my friend told me, i used it, its useful

[jaywree]

Love this. I think ai bots on WhatsApp will be huge. Why use a separate app when you’re already in and out of WhatsApp 100 times a day.

[joshwarwick15]

100% the thesis behind the wider platform - https://wassist.app/ :)

[freakynit]

Bro, how you gonna afford such a service? Even if you give just 10 free images a day, I can't figure out how you can make this work for long enough.

[joshwarwick15]

I can sink the cost (to market the wider platform) - build no code agents in Whatsapp and publish in minutes!

[joshwarwick15]

Thanks!
