Short answer

How can I use AI to make and track Leonardo.ai images?

You tell your AI what to create, and it uses specific models to generate the images for you. It can also look through your generation history to find specific URLs or metadata from previous runs.

The results of your requests

Where your assets land

Your AI handles the heavy lifting, resulting in one of these four outcomes.

CREATION

New image generation

The AI picks a model and runs a prompt to create a fresh visual. You get the resulting image data immediately.

RETRIEVAL

Accessing past work

Your AI scans your history to find specific images. It pulls the exact URLs and metadata you need for your project.

SELECTION

Choosing the right model

The AI checks which models are available on the platform. This ensures it uses the right style for your specific prompt.

HUMAN

Refining the style

You decide which model fits your vision best. The AI provides the options, but you make the final creative call.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for images.

The AI handles the technical calls to the platform so you can focus on the prompts.

  1. Check available models

    Before generating, the AI looks at the available model list to find the best fit for your description.

    list_platform_modelsget_model

  2. Run the generation

    The AI sends your prompt and chosen model settings to the platform to start the rendering process.

    generate_image

  3. Fetch history

    If you need to find something you made earlier, the AI pulls a list of your recent generations.

    list_user_generations

  4. Get specific details

    The AI grabs the specific metadata or the direct image URL for a single generation you've identified.

    get_generation
