Short answer

You give your AI a text description, and it triggers the generation process. Once the image is ready, you can tell the AI to upscale it to a higher resolution. You'll get finished, high-quality visual assets directly from your chat.

The results.

Where your requests land.

Depending on what you ask, your AI produces one of these results.

RAW ASSETS

Initial image generation

The AI creates a set of images based on your prompt. You get the initial visual interpretations of your text.

REFINEMENT

High-resolution upscaling

The AI takes an existing image and increases its detail and size. This results in much sharper, larger files.

STATUS

Real-time job tracking

The AI monitors the progress of your image creation. You'll know exactly when a generation or upscale is finished.

HUMAN

Creative direction

You decide which images look good and which ones need more work. The AI follows your lead on which assets to upscale.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and the Midjourney engine.

  1. Create the image

    The AI sends your text description to the engine to start the creation process.

    generate_image

  2. Track progress

    Since image generation takes time, the AI checks the status of the task to see if it's done.

    get_job

  3. Increase resolution

    Once you pick an image, the AI sends a command to increase its size and clarity.

    upscale_image

  4. Confirm completion

    The AI verifies the final state of the job so you can download or use the asset.

    get_job
