Paper Banana – AI academic illustration generator

The product nails a focused niche: text-to-academic-figure workflows with extras like I2I editing, a multi-agent Retriever→Planner→Stylist→Visualizer→Critic pipeline, and explicit support for diagram vs. plot modes. The landing looks tidy and the mention of DDPM/ResNet and plot-code output suggests real engineering under the hood, but the space is crowded (BioRender, generalist image LLMs, fig-helpers) and model transparency, failure modes and export fidelity for journal submission are the open questions.
