Short answer

How can I make images from templates using my AI?

Tell your AI to find a specific template and provide the text or colors you want to use. Your agent will then generate the final image for you. You'll get a direct link to the finished graphic.

The results you get

Where your designs land

This task turns your design requests into actual files.

ASSETS

Ready-to-use images

Your AI produces a finished image based on your instructions. You get a direct URL to the file.

TEMPLATES

Design selection

The AI identifies which layouts are available. You can choose a specific style for your content.

DATA

Customized content

The agent maps your text and color choices to the template fields. This ensures the design matches your needs.

HUMAN

Manual design tweaks

If a design isn't perfect, you'll need to adjust the template settings or prompt the AI again. The AI doesn't manually edit pixels.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent acts as the bridge between your text instructions and the Bannerbear engine.

  1. Find a layout

    The AI looks through your Bannerbear account to see which design templates you have ready to use.

    list_templates

  2. Apply your data

    The agent takes your specific text, hex codes, or image URLs and plugs them into the chosen template.

    create_image

  3. Confirm the file

    The AI checks that the image was built correctly and retrieves the final location.

    get_image

  4. Deliver the link

    Your agent provides the final image URL in the chat so you can download or share it.
