I talk about Claude a lot. Today I wanted to share about a different AI tool, because this one solves a problem Claude doesn't.
Visuals.
If you're running a solo business, you need graphics every single week. Carousel covers. Product mockups. Lead magnet covers. Quote cards. And if you're like most solopreneurs, you're either spending hours in Canva, paying a designer you can't afford, or just skipping visuals entirely.
Google's Nano Banana 2 changed that for me. It's a free AI image generator built into Gemini. You describe what you want in plain language. It builds it. No templates. No design skills.
I ran 3 prompts from the guide this week. Here's what came back.
Prompt 1: Digital Product Mockup
I used this exact prompt:
"Create a realistic product mockup showing a digital product displayed on a laptop screen and a tablet. The screen shows a clean document or PDF with the title '[YOUR PRODUCT NAME]'. The devices sit on a minimal desk with soft natural lighting. Style: photorealistic, clean, professional. Background: light neutral. Aspect ratio 16:9."
Here's what it generated:
That took about 15 seconds. No Canva. No stock photos. No designer. Every product you sell could use a mockup like this on the sales page.
Prompt 2: Pricing Table
This is the one that impressed me, because it gets the marketing psychology right:
"Create a pricing comparison table graphic. Three columns: [TIER 1] at $[PRICE], [TIER 2] at $[PRICE] (highlighted as most popular), [TIER 3] at $[PRICE]. Each column lists 4-5 features with checkmarks. Style: clean, modern, white background with [YOUR BRAND COLOR] highlight on the middle tier. Text must be crisp and readable."
Here's the output:
See how the middle tier is highlighted? That's not decoration. That's pricing psychology. The highlighted option draws the eye and anchors the buyer's decision. I've used this exact layout before; the only difference is those cost $5,000 in design fees. This cost $0. 🙂
Prompt 3: Carousel Cover Slide
"Create a clean, modern carousel cover image for social media. Topic: [YOUR TOPIC]. Style: minimal, dark background, bold white sans-serif headline text that reads: '[YOUR HEADLINE]'. Include a small logo or icon in the bottom left corner. Aspect ratio 1:1."
Here's what it made:
Basic? Yes. Go for more complex or not. The point is speed. One prompt. Brand-consistent cover. I can run this same prompt every week with a different headline and the style stays consistent across every carousel. That's how brands with design teams maintain visual identity. Now you can do it with one sentence.
