How to Use the Chat Feature

Our chat feature uses advanced AI to help you create amazing content. Here's how to use it:

  1. Start a conversation - Type your request in the chat input at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Be specific - The more details you provide, the better the results will be.
  3. Iterate and refine - You can always follow up with more instructions to improve the output.
  4. Use available credits - Each generation consumes credits from your account balance.

How to Structure Your Requests

The way you phrase your requests greatly impacts the quality of the results. Follow these principles:

Do

  • Be specific about what you want to create
  • Include technical details when needed
  • Specify your preferred style or aesthetic
  • Break complex requests into multiple messages

Don't

  • Use vague descriptions ("make something cool")
  • Request content that violates our policies
  • Include personally identifiable information
  • Expect the AI to know info not provided

Example Requests

Image Generation

Create an image

I need more details to create an image that matches your vision. Could you provide specifics about the subject, style, mood, colors, or any other elements you want to include?

Recommended Approach

Create a portrait photo of a female astronaut in a spacesuit floating in space with Earth in the background. Use dramatic lighting with stars visible in the background. Photorealistic style.

Video Generation

Important: You must create an image first before generating a video. The AI uses your image as the foundation for the video animation.

Pro Tip: The AI automatically uses your most recently generated image as the base for video creation.

No need to manually reference it in your prompt. You can simply ask to "create a video" after generating an image.

Your Storyboard

Primary Selection: The image with the yellow star icon is the one that will be used for video generation.

To use a different image as the base for your video, click on it in the storyboard to set it as the primary image.

Important: Only the image with the yellow star will be animated. Hover over other images and click to select them as primary.

Incorrect Approach

"Make a video of a car driving on a mountain road"

Requesting a video without creating an image first will not work

Correct Approach

"Create a video with this car driving along the mountain road"

The AI will use your most recent image by default

Make a video of a car

I'll need more specific details to generate a video that meets your expectations. But first, I need an image to use as the starting point for the video generation.

Recommended Approach

Animate this image of a red sports car driving along the coastal highway at sunset. Include aerial shots following the car with ocean views. Cinematic style with warm color grading.

Getting AI Help with Ideas

Don't have a clear vision? No problem! The AI can help brainstorm and refine your ideas through conversation.

1 Start with a vague concept

"I'd like to create something with a cyberpunk theme, but I'm not sure where to start"

Even general ideas or themes give the AI enough to start offering suggestions

2 Ask for specific suggestions

"Can you suggest a few cyberpunk scene ideas that would work well as images?"

Directly asking for suggestions helps the AI provide relevant options

Example Conversation Flow

I want to create an image but I'm not sure what to make. I like fantasy themes.

I'd be happy to help with some fantasy image ideas! Here are a few suggestions:

  • A mystical forest with glowing mushrooms and fairy lights
  • An ancient dragon perched on a mountain castle
  • A wizard's study filled with magical artifacts and books
  • A portal between worlds with creatures emerging

Do any of these interest you, or would you like more specific suggestions?

I like the dragon idea! Can you suggest what the dragon and castle should look like?

Great choice! Here's a detailed concept you could try:

A massive ancient red dragon with golden scales and amber eyes perched on a medieval stone castle built into a cliff face. The castle has several tall towers with blue-tiled conical roofs and flying buttresses. It's sunset, with the sky showing vibrant oranges and purples, and the dragon's scales glistening in the light. Small figures visible on the castle ramparts show the scale of the enormous creature.

Would you like me to adjust any aspects of this description, or shall we generate this image?

Try asking for:

  • Theme or style suggestions
  • Help refining a concept you already have
  • Technical advice on composition or lighting
  • Alternative approaches to your idea

Remember:

  • !
    The more you chat with the AI, the more it understands your vision
  • !
    You can always say "no" and ask for different suggestions
  • !
    Use the conversation to develop your creative direction

Pro Tips

  • 1

    Use references to existing styles or artists when describing what you want

  • 2

    If you don't like the results, try adjusting specific elements rather than starting over

  • 3

    Combine multiple generation types (e.g., create an image, then generate a video based on it)

  • 4

    For best results, include details about composition, lighting, and mood in your requests
