How to Use Google Nano Banana + N8N 🍌

Just dropped a video showing you how to use Nano Banana in Google AI Studio, OpenRouter, and n8n

I know these videos have been overdone, but I thought I would make my own!

I've been seeing Nano Banana everywhere - it generates consistent characters across images and apparently it's taking over 👀

Here's what the video covers:

🔹 Using it completely FREE in Google AI Studio

🔹 How to install Google AI Studio as a Mac app

🔹 Setting up and using it in OpenRouter

🔹 Building a simple n8n workflow from scratch (way less complicated than other tutorials)

I tested it with prompts like "robot walking through Medellin, Colombia" and "cool anime character walking through Toronto" - takes about 13 seconds per generation.

For the n8n part, I show you the complete workflow: form submission, prompt enhancement with a basic LLM chain, HTTP request to OpenRouter, and converting the response to an actual viewable image.

Most tutorials overcomplicate this stuff. I just wanted to show you the simplest way to actually get it working across all three platforms.

Peace ✌️
