Hey! Great article. Do you think you could generate a prompt that takes a sketch of a restaurant layout (drawn digitally by hand in good notes or something and saved as a pdf) and turn it into a form CAD? Provided measurements for specific areas are mentioned in the prompt?
When you upload your PDF (or a screenshot of your GoodNotes sketch), use this prompt. I’ve built in "Logic Anchors" to ensure the model respects your measurements.
Prompt:
---
"Using the uploaded hand-drawn sketch as a foundational spatial reference, generate a professional 2D architectural CAD floor plan for this restaurant.
Style & Aesthetic: Clean, technical drafting style. High-contrast black lines on a stark white background. Use standard architectural symbols for doors, windows, and kitchen equipment.
Specifications & Dimensions: > * Overall Footprint: [Insert total dimensions, e.g., 40ft x 60ft].
Kitchen Area: [Insert dimensions].
Dining Hall: [Insert dimensions].
Bar Counter: [Insert length].
Requirements: Ensure all walls are perfectly 90-degree angles. Add professional dimension lines and clear text labels for 'Commercial Kitchen', 'Main Dining', 'Restrooms', and 'Entryway'. The final image should look like a formal technical schematic ready for a planning meeting."
Thank you for your amazing content, Ruben. Is there a way to connect Nano Banana as the primary graphics tool in Claude Cowork? Does that even make sense to do?
Hi Ruben, thank you so much for what you do. Been following you for a year on Linkedin. I just wish you had a monthly subscription option. You give a lot of value and I sometimes just feel bad not giving back. I hope I can be able to get the Annual subscription soon. Keep being a blessing...
Some sort of prompt that would let me create a MrBeast style YouTube thumbnail! Thanks for the awesome content - been sharing your stuff like crazy (hope that's cool!)
Image 1 (Headshot.jpg): This is a photo of me. Use my face, features, and likeness exactly as shown in this image.
Image 2 (MrBeast Thumbnail.jpg): This is a reference for composition and style. Match the framing, vibrancy, and eye-catching quality of this thumbnail — but do NOT copy the subject's face, setting, or content.
Create a cinematic YouTube thumbnail (16:9 ratio). Place me on the right side of the frame, taking up about 40% of the image, matching the composition style of Image 2. My face should match Image 1 exactly. My expression should be intense and focused — not smiling, looking directly at camera with a "wait til you hear this" energy.
Floating all around me and filling the left side of the frame are glowing mathematical symbols and Greek letters (Σ, π, β, ∫, √, Δ, Ω) and numbers — swirling through the air like the card-counting scene in The Hangover. The symbols should glow in gold (#DDBA65) and gradient blue (#3A8DFF to #0054D1). Some symbols brighter, some faded, creating depth.
Background: deep matte black (#28282B). Dramatic side lighting casting a slight shadow across half my face. Teal and warm gold color grading. Shallow depth of field — my face is tack sharp, symbols closest to camera and furthest away are softly out of focus. Cinematic film grain. The overall image should be as vibrant and eye-catching as Image 2, but with a serious, high-stakes cinematic mood. The feeling is: a man who just figured out something the world doesn't want him to know. No text overlay.
I don’t stop to play with it
gemini has always been the best
But “I don’t care about Gemini…..”??
Thank you for helping us keep up! Swell job!
you’re most welcome

Thanks - I'll give it a try :)
Let me know how it goes.
it certainly took on a mind of its own! Attached are my doodle + the final product by Nano 🍌 for people to see. Hope this is helpful.
I’ve been paying for this for nearly a year. It is so good. Can’t believe the quality of free stuff now. Thanks for sharing these great prompts.
I love to hear it. This is probably the best compliment someone can make to me.
Thank you 🫶
you’re welcome :) no prompt request?
Thanks in advance for the prompt and thanks for the amazing content.
you're most welcome - do you need any prompt?
Hey, the Slack invite link from my welcome email has expired. Could you please send me a fresh one?
You need to be a paid subscriber for this, and it doesn't look like you are. Are you?
Yes, I’m paid-member since Feb 4th. Not sure why it’s not showing on your end. Happy to send a screenshot or reply to the welcome email if that helps?
Hi - sent you a dm here.
You are awesome bro
aha thank you!! :)
Thank you for your amazing content, Ruben. Is there a way to connect Nano Banana as the primary graphics tool in Claude Cowork? Does that even make sense to do?
via Claude Skills + custom MCP connector. you can use Grok for steps on how to do it :)
Great stuff. Just subscribed and Slack Link is no longer live. Thanks!
dmed you a new one :)
hi ruben! i can't access your slack link - i just joined the community :)
Sent you a dm :)
Ruben, this guide is a game-changer. I just spent an hour diving into Nano Banana 2 after reading this and the results actually shocked me.
I finally had that Aha! moment where the tech actually matches the vision in my head. Definitely saving my money on thd subscriptions now.
Thanks for cutting through the noise
the best tools right now are free. you just need to know where to look :)
what did you generate?
Hi Ruben. Having some issues signing up with the Slack invite sent to my email. Can you please guide?
Sure - I sent you a dm.

Have you tried uploading your image and a MrBeast reference image?
I just tried and it came out great. Curious if you would improve anything. Prompt generated with Claude:
