# Banatie Landing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is going to be a promotional website for banatie.app service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
see `banatie-business-case.md` for product information
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tech stack:
|
||||||
|
- documentation: MD files in `docs` folder
|
||||||
|
- landing page: plain HTML file
|
||||||
|
- styling: Tailwind
|
||||||
|
- development approach: 3 steps AI involved framework.
|
||||||
|
- Deep research and analysis of the task
|
||||||
|
- Comprehensive plan preparation
|
||||||
|
- Detailed implementation strictly following the plan
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The main upcoming tasks:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1) Prepare a clean and strong marketing pitch. Store as `docs/pitch.md`
|
||||||
|
2) Based on the pitch prepare a marketing message, USP, features that should be shown on the landing page. Should take into an account that it should be an early version of the landing because the product is under development. So the landing should say: what is the product is, pitch that product, encourage to add a email to a wait list to be invited to a closed beta test. Store as `docs/marketing.md`
|
||||||
|
3) Based on the marketing proposal, understanding of the TA, area of the service and modern design trends, develop a style guide, that define a design guideline for creating a landing page. Should cover the following topics:
|
||||||
|
- theme, main colors, background, accent color, style, vibe
|
||||||
|
- a concrete background example. Preferable with slight gradient usage
|
||||||
|
- CTA styles - color, border, font, fonsize etc
|
||||||
|
- Typographic with 3 level of text hierarchy: Title, subtitle, normal texts
|
||||||
|
- Form design
|
||||||
|
this should be stored as `docs/theme.md` document and also should be provided 3 examples as an html files kindof "Storybook" containing sections, fonts, CTAs, form etc - all main website elements
|
||||||
|
4) Next task is to iterate with design styles to finally chose a style that will be used for landing creation
|
||||||
|
5) Ready landing preparation. Should combine a selected design with a marketing proposition. Result is a `src/index.html` containing production ready file
|
||||||
|
6) Tuning and polishing - some more iteration to polish a final html file

## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Banatie is a specialized API wrapper service positioned to capitalize on the explosive growth in AI image generation by solving critical pain points in Google's Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) implementation. With the AI image generation market projected to reach **$60.8 billion by 2030** (38.2% CAGR), and prompt engineering services specifically growing at **32.8% CAGR** to reach **$2.06 billion by 2030**, Banatie addresses a critical gap in the market: the complexity barrier between raw AI capability and practical usability.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The service transforms poorly crafted prompts into professional Gemini-optimized instructions, automatically creates reference collages, and provides a simple API interface—solving the three most significant barriers to Nano Banana adoption identified in our market research.

## SERVICE DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Banatie is an intelligent middleware service that acts as a sophisticated wrapper around Google's Nano Banana API, providing three core value propositions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Prompt Intelligence Engine**: Converts natural language prompts in any language into professional, Gemini-optimized English prompts following Google's documented best practices
|
||||||
|
2. **Reference Collaging System**: Automatically combines multiple reference images into optimized compositions instead of requiring separate image inputs
|
||||||
|
3. **Simplified API Access**: Single endpoint that abstracts the complexity of Google's authentication and multi-parameter system
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The service operates as a freemium SaaS platform with API-first architecture, targeting both individual developers and enterprise customers who need reliable, scalable image generation without the complexity overhead.
