NINJA AI TOOLS

🥷 Designing a Brand Is Supposed to Be Hard… Right?

If you’ve ever tried to juggle your content, links, sales, newsletters, and brand deals across different tools, you know how scattered the creator workflow can get. Beacons is aiming to fix that.

At its core, Beacons is an all-in-one hub for creators—a smart, customizable “Link in Bio” tool that quietly packs in serious business features behind the scenes. Think of it as a Swiss Army knife for creators who want to grow without adding 10 more tabs to their browser.

What You Can Do with Beacons

• Build a sleek Link in Bio or full mini-website to share your content, products, and platforms

• Sell digital products, courses, or appointments directly (and cash out fast)

• Grow and own your audience with built-in email capture and broadcasts

• Automate marketing via DM replies and email funnels

• Pitch to brands with auto-updating media kits and affiliate links

• Monitor performance with solid analytics and data insights

• Use built-in AI tools to write emails, copy, and spot trends in your data

Real-World Use Cases

Let’s say you’re a TikToker with a growing audience. You can use Beacons to create a unified landing page with your merch, affiliate links, and newsletter sign-up—all while turning DMs into sales leads. Or if you're a YouTube educator, you can sell courses and pitch sponsorships from the same dashboard without needing a separate CRM, email platform, or site builder.

The real power? You don’t need to duct-tape five tools together just to run your business.

AI TUTORIAL

🧠 How to Use Nano Banana for AI Image Editing

Nano Banana is Google Gemini’s latest AI image editing model. It makes photo editing easy with text prompts while keeping images consistent and realistic.

Whether you want to generate new images, edit your selfies, or completely swap backgrounds, this tutorial will walk you through the process.

Step 1. Sign in to Gemini

• Go to the Gemini app or website.

• Log in with your Google account (the same one you use for Gmail or Docs).

• If you don’t have one, create a free Google account.

Step 2. Enable Nano Banana

• Once inside Gemini, look for prompts about the Nano Banana model.

• You can click the provided link or go to the Create Images option in the tools section to start.

Step 3. Create Your First Image

• Enter a text prompt to generate an image from scratch.

• Example: “A swan gliding across a lake with two baby swans.”

• Press Enter and Gemini will create the image.

Step 4. Refine Your Image

• Not satisfied with the first result? Ask Gemini to adjust it.

• Be specific in your refinements.

• Example: “Change it to a night scene with moonlight.”

Step 5. Upload an Image for Editing

• Nano Banana’s strength lies in editing existing photos.

• Click the plus (+) symbol to upload a picture.

• You can use an AI-generated image or one from your phone/camera.

Step 6. Describe the Edits

• Use natural language to explain what changes you want.

• Example: “Dress me in a suit and place me in front of a window overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge.”

• No need for technical photography terms—just describe it conversationally.

Step 7. Change Backgrounds

• Upload a photo and describe how you want the background altered.

• Example: “Keep me the same, but replace the Brooklyn Bridge background with an antique library.”

Step 8. Mix and Match Photos

• Combine two different photos into one.

• Upload both, then describe the desired outcome.

• Example: “Replace the book on the table with the old lamp from the second photo.”

Step 9. Make Multiple Edits in Sequence

• You can build edits progressively.

• Start with one change (add a tree to a field).

• Then refine: “Add a tent next to the tree.”

• Repeat until the image matches your vision.

Step 10. Apply Patterns

• Upload an image of a pattern you like (e.g., feathers, tiles, fabric).

• Ask Nano Banana to apply it to an object.

• Example: “Turn this peacock feather pattern into a t-shirt design.”

With Nano Banana, anyone can dive into AI photo editing—no special skills required. Whether you’re swapping out a background just for fun or polishing a photo to look more professional, all it takes is a simple text prompt.

Play around with your selfies, remix your favorite shots, or mash up different images into something completely new. The more you experiment, the more surprises you’ll discover.
