Generate professional co-branded mortgage market update flyers in under two minutes — using AI image generation.
The prompt is platform-agnostic. Both Gemini's image generation (Nano Banana / Nano Banana Pro) and ChatGPT's native image generation (ChatGPT Images 2.0, released April 2026) produce great results. I demo'd it with Gemini at the conference because that's what I happened to use first — but ChatGPT works equally well, and sometimes better.

gemini.google.com) or ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) — both work.[VARIABLES] to match your data.The prompt below uses Matt's brand colors (navy #0a2540 and teal #00a39e). Replace these with your own brand colors before generating — otherwise every flyer you produce will look like Matt's, not yours.
To find your own brand colors:
color.adobe.com or imagecolorpicker.com.Image generation is sometimes called "Nano Banana" (or "Nano Banana Pro" for the reasoning-enabled version). If you don't see image gen in your Gemini, try Google AI Studio — aistudio.google.com.
Images 2.0 is the current model (released April 2026, replacing DALL-E). Free tier has basic access; Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise unlock thinking mode for better complex layouts.
Paste this into Gemini or ChatGPT after uploading the two headshots. Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder before you generate.

Once you've generated a flyer you love, save the prompt with your colors and contact info already filled in. Each month, you only need to swap the date, market stats, and the realtor's details.
Add to the prompt:
"Use the uploaded photos exactly as provided. Do not stylize, modify, or filter the headshots. Place them in clean circular crops at the bottom of the flyer."Other fixes: try PNG with transparent background instead of JPG, and use square aspect ratio crops — they handle cleaner than tall portraits.
Iterate with adjustments. Try these one at a time:
"Make the design more editorial and minimalist, with more whitespace." "Use a tighter color palette — only navy, teal, white, and dark gray." "Make the typography bolder and more confident."Don't accept the first output. Aim for 2–3 iterations.
The prompt includes your NMLS, but if your state or firm requires a specific footer disclaimer (Equal Housing logo, NMLS Consumer Access link, etc.), append this to the prompt:
"Add a small compliance footer at the very bottom containing: Equal Housing Opportunity. NMLS Consumer Access: nmlsconsumeraccess.org. [State-specific licensing required, e.g., Licensed by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation under the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act]"Check with your broker for exact disclaimer language.
Send me a screenshot. Or send me one that came out weird — I'll tell you what to tweak. The prompt evolves every month based on what people send back.
Real reply. Usually within a day.
