Well… apparently my little BOT DETECTOR post in the main AI Advantage community caused more turbulence than expected. It survived a whole 2 hours before getting gently escorted off the stage. Reason given: “It might confuse the thread.” Totally fine — I get it. But here’s the part that’s ironic: I posted it precisely to help beginners avoid getting confused. Because half the new members are getting approached by bots and have no idea what’s going on. My intention was simple: ✨ keep humans safe ✨ keep the thread clean ✨ teach new members how to recognize low-effort spam ✨ do it in a fun, memorable way so people actually pay attention But maybe my delivery was a little too… effective 😇 (Moderation bot: “THREAT DETECTED — remove.”) Still love the team — genuinely. No hard feelings. Just amused that the only thing in the community that successfully got flagged was… the anti-bot post 🤖💀 Anyway — since it vanished before some of you saw it, here are the screenshots and the explanation of what it was. If anyone still wants the track or the guide, I can drop them here safely — where context isn’t an issue and beginners actually benefit from it. Humans helping humans. What a concept 😌✨ Also people let us stay inside topic this time in the comments 😉🫰

“In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. I will persist until I succeed. I do not know how many steps are necessary to reach my goal; success may be hiding behind the next bend in the road. I will never know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.” — Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman in the World I love this quote from this simple but powerful book… He also says “when did we start to believe that the prize was at the beginning of the journey when it always is at the end” One step at a time… Day by day… You look up in a few months and realize how far you’ve come… Let’s stay positive, focused, and don’t let the inner self-doubt speak too loud and don’t let negative voices with sometimes ulterior motives question your desire, and your path…

Every time you feel resistance, remember this. Resistance only shows up when something actually matters. It doesn’t show up for the easy stuff. It doesn’t show up for distractions. It shows up when you are on the edge of growth. I have felt resistance before every big move I ever made. Writing my first book. Launching my first course. Making my first hire. Every single time. If you are feeling it today… good. It means you are standing at a doorway. Push through it. On the other side is the version of you you’ve been trying to become. Question for the group:What are you feeling resistance around right now? Drop it below. This is the room where we beat it together.

Tool: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) Why This Tool: Google's Nano Banana lets you generate images from text and edit them with simple instructions, all while keeping characters and subjects consistent across multiple images (perfect for creating branded content series without hiring a designer for every variation). Best For: Coaches creating consistent social media content series, small business owners building branded visual campaigns, marketers testing ad concepts before hiring designers, content creators who need the same character or product across multiple scenes Cost: Available through Gemini app with usage limits based on your Google AI plan (check ai.google.dev/pricing for current rates) Website: https://gemini.google/overview/image-generation/ Quick Win Prompt: "Think of a character or mascot that represents your brand (could be a person, animal, or object). Open the Gemini app, describe your character in detail (appearance, clothing, style), and generate your first image. Then create three more images with that same character in different settings or poses using prompts like 'the same character now holding a coffee cup' or 'the same character at a desk working.' You now have a consistent visual identity for your next content series." Other Things Nano Banana Can Do: - Natural language editing: Take any generated image and refine it by simply describing what you want changed (like "make the background darker" or "add a laptop on the desk") - Multi-image combining: Merge elements from several source images into one cohesive result, perfect for creating composite mockups or blending brand elements - API integration: Build Nano Banana directly into your apps or workflows using Gemini API or Vertex AI for automated image generation at scale - Precise character consistency: Generate entire visual stories or product demonstrations where the same face, outfit, or branded element appears reliably across dozens of images
