Tasks

Usage Examples

Generate Image from Prompt

User: Create an image of a sunset over mountains

Claude: I'll generate that image for you.
[Calls nanobanana_generate_image with detailed prompt]

Virtual Try-On

User: Put this shirt on this model
[Provides two image URLs]

Claude: I'll combine these images.
[Calls nanobanana_edit_image with both image URLs]

Product Photography

User: Place this product in a modern kitchen scene
[Provides product image URL]

Claude: I'll create a product scene for you.
[Calls nanobanana_edit_image with scene description]

Prompt Writing Tips

For best results, include these elements in your prompts:

• Main Subject: What is the primary focus?
• Atmosphere: What mood should the image convey?
• Lighting: How is the scene illuminated?
• Camera/Lens: What photographic style? (85mm portrait, wide-angle, etc.)
• Quality Keywords: Technical descriptors (bokeh, film grain, HDR, etc.)

Example Prompt

A photorealistic close-up portrait of an elderly Japanese ceramicist
with deep wrinkles and a warm smile. Soft golden hour light streaming
through a window. Captured with an 85mm portrait lens, soft bokeh
background. Serene and masterful mood.
