📸 Experiment: I built a No-Code App inside Gemini to generate Professional Headshots in 5 minutes


We’ve been testing the limits of Gemini in Canvas mode and wanted to see if it was possible to create a functional tool (an "app hack") that allows us to generate personalized professional profile pictures without writing a single line of code—all within the chat interface.

The Result: A mini-app that takes your photo, accepts a context (industry/profession), and generates a hyper-realistic, ready-to-use version.

Here is the step-by-step guide so you can replicate it yourselves:

  1. The Environment
    Go to Gemini and activate Canvas mode (this is fundamental so it can render the interface).

  2. The Prompt
    Copy and paste the following prompt exactly as is:

Generate a MINI version of Nano Banana Pro. Call it "Your Digital Profile Picture." It will include a field for uploading a profile picture, a field for writing the industry/category, and a field for optional clothing descriptions.
You generate a professional, hyper-realistic image of my profile picture, using identical facial and body features. The industry/category provides the context, allowing you to define clothing and setting. Only put one Button to share it via WhatsApp.

  1. The Execution
    Gemini will take a moment to process and write the code. You will see a graphical interface appear.
  2. The Test
    Once the "Run" button or the app preview appears:
    • Upload your current profile picture (a selfie or whatever you have on hand).
    • Add the industry (e.g., Architecture, Medicine, Software Development).
    • (Optional) Describe the clothing or the shot framing.
    • Generate the image.
    • You can save the image by long-pressing/right-clicking it, or share it via the WhatsApp button.

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!
