The Take

Single canvas that lets you chain prompt → image → short-video steps is the clearest selling point — it actually maps to how agencies iterate on concepts. The UI shows practical controls (seed, aspect, duration hints) and multi-provider routing under one roof, which cuts context switching. That said, this is a crowded space (Runway/Replicate/large vendors do parts of this) and the page leaves questions about model provenance, failure modes, and output consistency.

Post Description

Hi HN,

I built Banana Pro AI because I wanted one place to iterate on visuals without bouncing between separate tools.

It supports: - text → image and image → image - text → video and image → video (short clips) - an optional “Studio” mode: a simple canvas where you can chain steps (e.g. prompt → image → video) and keep everything in one project.

It’s an independent app that integrates multiple model providers behind one interface (and isn’t affiliated with them).

There’s a small free tier so you can try it quickly. I’d love feedback on: 1) which controls matter most (seed, aspect, duration, etc.) 2) the workflow/canvas UX (too much? not enough?) 3) output quality issues / failure cases

Happy to answer questions.

Native audio generation, camera-directing prompts (push-ins, pans, tracking) and multi-shot consistency are the concrete features that make this more than a one-off toy — it targets the actual problems of producing many short assets for campaigns. The UI trades complexity for speed: pick mode, tweak controls, generate, download — that workflow will appeal to marketers and creators who hate tool hopping. It still lives in a crowded space (Runway, Pika, Synthesia et al.), so model quality, failure modes and export controls will decide whether it becomes someone's daily tool or just another cool demo.

QuizBuds – weekly team trivia inside Slack (feedback wanted)

Runs entirely inside Slack with auto-formed teams, private team channels, weekly rotation and a lightweight 4-week leaderboard — that’s the product in three practical features. The landing page sells the low-friction promise well, but the idea itself isn’t novel: success will hinge on question quality, noise control, and the install/setup friction the authors explicitly asked feedback about.
