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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

joshwarwick15OP7mo ago

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