From 7d0bbf3f3092939659b160650fafb87ce8652e26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: shrimbly Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:04:30 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] feat(33): rewrite chat prompt with UI-facing language Replace internal property names (data.resolution, targetCount, etc.) with what users actually see: "Resolution dropdown", "click Configure", "model selector". Add common Q&A section with correct answers. Explicitly forbid JSON/code output in responses.

Connects its **image** output to other nodes. + +### Prompt +A text box where users write generation instructions. Connects its **text** output to Generate or LLM nodes. + +### Generate Image (nanoBanana) +AI image generation. Requires both an **image** connection AND a **text** connection. +- **Model dropdown**: Choose "Nano Banana" (fast) or "Nano Banana Pro" (high quality). Can also use Replicate or fal.ai models via the model browser. +- **Aspect Ratio dropdown**: 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9 +- **Resolution dropdown** (Nano Banana Pro only): 1K, 2K, or 4K — this is a dropdown on the node, NOT something you put in the prompt +- **Google Search checkbox** (Nano Banana Pro only): enables grounding with web search +- Can accept **multiple image inputs** from different Image Input nodes +- External provider models (Replicate, fal.ai) show additional parameter controls like seed, steps, guidance + +### Generate Video +AI video generation. Takes image + text inputs, outputs video.
