Short answer

How can I automate bulk background removal with my AI?

You tell your AI which images to process and which workflow to run. The AI uses the autoRetouch tools to find your files, start the background removal tasks, and check when they are finished. You'll get clean product shots without manual clicking.

FAQ

How the automation behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my original images?

    No. The AI only has tools to list, start, and check tasks. It cannot delete or overwrite your original files.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide which background removal style to use?

    No. You must specify which workflow to use in your prompt. The AI simply executes the workflow you choose.

  • 03

    Can I see the images inside my AI chat?

    The AI can see the image data to manage the tasks, but it does not render the actual image files in the chat interface.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which images to process?

    It uses the list_images tool to see what is available in your account based on your description.

  • 05

    Can the AI fix a failed background removal?

    No. If a task fails, the AI will report the error to you. You have to decide if you want to try a different workflow or fix the source image.
