Alice Camera is now rebranded as Camera Intelligence, and they are about to launch a new Caira camera: an AI-native Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera that connects to iPhones via a MagSafe connection. It’s also the first mirrorless camera in the world to integrate Google’s “Nano Banana” generative AI model directly into the product. Caira will be launched exclusively on Kickstarter starting October 30th, 2025:

The integration of ‘Nano Banana’ into Caira will allow creators to perform what was previously complex post-production in real-time, eliminating the need for laptop-based post-processing for many creative tasks. Using simple natural language prompts, a user can instantly change the style of a scene, transform day into night, or make specific edits like changing a subject’s clothing or hair color, or placing jewelry on their body, all within the Caira app. Crucially, we have built the system with an ethics-first approach, designing safeguards that prevent the AI from being used unethically or in nefarious ways.

The full press release can be found here:

Camera Intelligence unveils Caira – the world’s first MFT mirrorless camera with Google’s “Nano Banana”

Now available for order: Alice AI-powered mirrorless camera add-on for smartphones
