Short answer

How can I change parts of an image using AI?

You use your AI to trigger specific image modification tools that target either the whole composition or just certain parts. This allows you to keep the bones of an image while changing the subject, colors, or theme. You'll see how the specific tools handle these changes below.

Where every change lands.

The outcomes of your edits

Depending on how you prompt your agent, you'll get one of these results.

REMIX

Themed overhauls

The AI takes your original image and applies a new concept or style. It keeps the layout but changes the vibe entirely.

EDIT

Targeted fixes

You change specific objects or details within the frame. The rest of the image stays exactly as it was.

HUMAN

Final creative polish

The AI handles the heavy lifting of rendering. You decide if the composition still meets your vision or if you need to try a different prompt.

ITERATE

Refined variations

You can take a successful edit and run it through the process again. This helps you dial in the exact look you want.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

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

  1. Analyze the source

    Your agent looks at the image you provided to understand the current composition and subject matter.

  2. Apply a new theme

    The AI uses the remix tool to rebuild the image with a different aesthetic or subject while respecting the original structure.

    remix_image

  3. Modify specific details

    If you only want to change one thing, the agent uses the edit tool to swap out parts of the image.

    edit_image

  4. Deliver the result

    The agent presents the new image files back to you in your chat interface.
