The premise started as a workplace joke: photograph someone and have an AI generate a fictional corporate manual about them. "Subject encountered in break room. Optimal operation: compliment the coffee. Known failure mode: discussing weekend plans before 10am."
That generator ships as one of three built-in makers in MakerMaker, an iOS entertainment app from Niixo. The others produce a mock spec sheet and a fabricated news headline. All three take a photo as input and run it through Gemini 2.5 Flash on Firebase Functions (asia-northeast1). Photos never hit the server — they're reduced to prompts on-device. iOS 17+ required.
The recursive layer
What became more interesting in practice: a mode where the AI invents the generator concept before generating content.
The button synthesizes a generator from combinations of subject, genre, tone, format, and color palette — roughly 95 million permutations total. Each press produces a generator that didn't exist before, then immediately runs it.
