Short answer

How can I use my AI to make concept art?

You give your agent a basic idea, and it uses APImage to expand that idea into a detailed prompt and select a specific model. This results in high-fidelity visual mockups you can refine through follow-up requests.

The creative outcomes

Visual assets and iterations

This process moves you from a thought to a finished mockup.

EXPANDED

Rich prompt descriptions

The AI takes your short sentence and adds lighting, texture, and composition details. You get a much more descriptive instruction set for the generator.

SELECT

Model-specific styles

You can pick from different specialized models to ensure the visual style matches your project. This ensures the output hits the right aesthetic.

RENDER

Visual mockups

The agent produces actual images based on the refined instructions. You receive a concrete visual starting point for your work.

HUMAN

Manual art direction

You decide which images work and provide the final creative judgment. You steer the next round of iterations based on what you see.

The workflow

What your AI does when the prompt arrives.

The AI handles the technical work of prompt engineering and model selection.

  1. Expand the idea

    Your agent takes a simple concept and builds out a descriptive, high-detail prompt to ensure the generator understands the intent.

    enhance_prompt

  2. Pick a model

    The agent looks at the available image generation engines to find the one that best fits the requested art style.

    list_models

  3. Create the image

    The agent sends the final, detailed instructions to the chosen model to produce the visual mockup.

    generate_image

  4. Refine the result

    You tell the agent what to change, and it repeats the expansion and generation steps to fix specific details.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI edit specific parts of an existing image?

    No. The AI generates new images based on updated prompts; it does not perform pixel-level editing on uploaded files.

  • 02

    Does the AI choose the model automatically?

    It can. You can ask it to pick the best model for the job, or you can use the list tool to choose one yourself.

  • 03

    Can I use this to create vector files?

    No. This tool is for generating raster image mockups, not scalable vector graphics.

  • 04

    Will the AI save my images to my hard drive?

    No. The AI generates the images within your chat interface. You must manually save any files you want to keep.

  • 05

    Can the AI see my previous art files?

    No. The AI only sees the text prompts and model information provided through the tools.
