Banatie Product Description

What is Banatie?

Banatie is an AI-powered image generation API platform designed specifically for developers who use AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and other agentic development environments.

The Problem We Solve

Developers building web projects face a significant workflow friction:

Need an image for their project
Leave coding environment
Go to AI image generator (Midjourney, DALL-E, etc.)
Generate and iterate on prompts
Download the image manually
Organize files in project structure
Import back into project

This process often takes longer than building the actual functionality.

Our Solution

Banatie provides seamless integrations that allow developers to generate production-ready images directly within their development workflow:

Integration Methods

MCP Server — Direct integration with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools
REST API — Standard HTTP API for any application
Prompt URLs — Generate images via URL parameters (on-demand generation)
SDK/CLI — Developer tools for automation

Key Features

Prompt Enhancement — AI improves your prompts automatically
Built-in CDN — Images delivered fast, globally
@name References — Maintain consistency across project images
Project Organization — Images organized by project automatically

Technology

AI Models: Google Gemini (Imagen 3)
Infrastructure: Global CDN delivery
Future: Image transformation pipeline (resize, format conversion)

Positioning

We're at the intersection of AI generation and image delivery infrastructure.

NOT competing with:

Creative tools (Midjourney, Leonardo) — we're for developers, not artists
Generic APIs (OpenAI DALL-E API) — we add workflow integration

Competing with:

Manual workflow (download → organize → import)
Cloudinary/ImageKit (on transformation features)
Replicate (on generation API)

Pricing Philosophy

Value-based pricing — Price on workflow time saved, not raw generation cost
Developer-friendly — Free tier for testing, reasonable paid tiers
No surprise bills — Clear usage limits and alerts

Current Status

✅ API v1 complete
✅ Landing page live (banatie.app)
🔄 Customer validation in progress
⏳ MCP server in development
⏳ SDK/CLI tools planned

Brand Voice

Technical but approachable
Problem-focused, not feature-focused
Developer-to-developer communication
Honest about limitations and roadmap
