Beyond basic generation, our focus is on what happens after the first result.

While prompting Nano Banana directly gives you raw generation capability, our tool is built to support the full creative loop. We aim to provide more capabilities that help users turn an initial output into a finished piece—such as enhancing generated images, iterating with structured edits, transforming images into videos, and adding or refining textual elements.

Over time, we’re also investing heavily in interaction and workflow design. The goal is to make modifications fast and intuitive, so creators can experiment, revise, and evolve their ideas without starting from scratch each time.

In short, direct prompting is about getting a single result, whereas our platform is about helping users continuously refine and expand that result into richer creative content.

We’ve noticed that the name creates unintended associations for some users, especially in English, and that’s not what we want to emphasize going forward.

We’re actively discussing a rebrand to better reflect the creative and model-focused direction of the product.

That’s fair feedback.

We take this concern very seriously.

We are currently re-reviewing the models we support and will not rely on front-end filtering alone. In addition to stricter automated checks, we’re increasing human review where appropriate and adding safeguards at multiple layers of the system.

We’re actively evaluating further measures and, if necessary, will remove or restrict certain models as we iterate.

Thanks for raising this — it’s an important discussion and one we’re addressing carefully.

Hi HN,

I'm the maker of Kinkora. We built this as a creative playground that brings together multiple mainstream image and video generation models in one place, making it easier to experiment, compare outputs, and iterate on ideas.

This is a major update from an earlier version, with expanded model support, improved UX, and clearer creative workflows. We’re still early and would really appreciate any feedback from the community.

Happy to answer questions.
