If you’re already using Pop-Cam to turn photos into stunning Nano Banana AI illustrations, there’s now an even faster way to use it — directly from your OpenClaw AI agent, without switching apps or copy-pasting image URLs.
Pop-Cam has released an official OpenClaw skill that connects your AI agent to the Pop-Cam Nano Banana image generation API. Install it once, and you can generate AI-illustrated images from a simple chat command.
What Is the Pop-Cam OpenClaw Skill?
OpenClaw is a personal AI agent platform that runs on your own machine. It supports Skills — small instruction sets that give your agent new abilities, like sending emails, reading calendars, or (now) generating images.
The pop-cam-api skill connects OpenClaw directly to Pop-Cam’s REST API endpoint (/api/v1/nanobanana). Once installed, you can tell your agent: “Turn this photo into a Nano Banana illustration” — and it handles everything: encoding the image, calling the API, and returning a ready-to-use image URL.
Why Use Pop-Cam Via OpenClaw?
- No context switching — Stay in your agent chat and generate images inline with other tasks
- Automatable — Trigger image generation as part of a larger workflow (e.g., “generate a cover image for today’s blog post”)
- Webhook support — For high-volume use, async generation with webhook callbacks keeps things fast
- Combine with other skills — Pair with the WordPress Publisher skill to auto-generate + publish illustrated blog headers
How to Install the Pop-Cam Skill in OpenClaw
The skill is available on ClawHub — OpenClaw’s public skill registry with 3,000+ community skills. Installing takes one command:
clawhub install pop-cam-apiOr search for it first:
clawhub search "image generation"After install, you’ll need a Pop-Cam API token (pk_...). Get one from pop-cam.com/developer and save it to your workspace:
POPCAM_API_KEY=pk_your_token_hereWhat Happens Under the Hood
The skill uses Pop-Cam’s Nano Banana image generation API, which is powered by Google’s Nano Banana Pro model — the same model behind Google’s AI image features in Gemini and Search. Pop-Cam wraps this into a simple REST API with:
- Base64 image input (any common format: JPEG, PNG, WebP)
- Optional custom prompt to guide the illustration style
- Permanent hosted output URL on R2 storage
- Credit-based billing (1 generation = 1 credit)
OpenClaw’s skill layer handles encoding, error codes (401 invalid token, 402 insufficient credits), and result delivery — so your agent just gets back an image URL it can use immediately.
Real-World Use Cases
- Content creators: Generate illustrated headers for blog posts, newsletters, or social media on demand
- Developers building agents: Add image generation to any OpenClaw workflow without writing custom API code
- E-commerce teams: Transform product photos into branded illustrations at scale
- Indie hackers: Prototype visual AI apps using Pop-Cam as the image backend, OpenClaw as the orchestration layer
Nano Banana 2 vs. Nano Banana Pro — Which Does Pop-Cam Use?
Pop-Cam currently uses Nano Banana Pro for its API — Google’s more capable image model that supports conversational editing, multi-image blending, accurate text rendering, and Google Search grounding for factual content. This is the same model powering premium image generation in Google AI Pro/Ultra.
Google has since released Nano Banana 2 as the next generation. Pop-Cam is tracking these releases closely — expect API updates as new models roll out.
