# 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:
|
|
1. Need an image for their project
|
|
2. Leave coding environment
|
|
3. Go to AI image generator (Midjourney, DALL-E, etc.)
|
|
4. Generate and iterate on prompts
|
|
5. Download the image manually
|
|
6. Organize files in project structure
|
|
7. 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
|
|
|
|

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