Product designer Laurent Del Rey, who recently joined Meta Labs, has launched a side project called Endless Summer: an iPhone app that creates AI-generated vacation photos of you in different parts of the world.
As Del Rey explained when talking about the product launch at X, the new app is for when «burnout sets in and you need to manifest the life you deserve.»
The product designer told TechCrunch that he was inspired to create the app because summer is his favorite time of year.

first app 100% made by me! just released it on the app store try it out <33 pic.twitter.com/i55nRcE71V
When you log into the app, you tap a button to take an AI-generated «summer» photo. The generated photos then appear on the screen as a «film strip»: each photo shows you, or rather an AI-generated version of you, exploring the world at different points.
Behind the scenes of the app is Gemini’s Nano-Banana AI model. According to Del Rey, the app doesn’t save your selfies unless you have the automatic AI photo generation mode enabled.
Endless Summer will offer payment options after the first six free images.
Meanwhile, dev.ua wrote that Google’s popular AI image generator Nano Banana is hurting Adobe. Data from analytics company Appfigures shows that the number of downloads of Adobe’s Firefly AI tool began to fall after the release of Gemini 2.5 Flash with the Nano Banana image generator.
