Step 1: Set Up Your OpenAI API Key

(Skip to Step 3 if you already have OpenAI connected)

1. Sign Up for OpenAI: If you don’t already have an account, visit OpenAI and create one. https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
2. Generate an API Key: Navigate to the API section in your OpenAI account and generate a new API key. Keep this key secure, as it will be required for integration.

Step 2: Integrate OpenAI with app.chitchatbot.ai

1. Click Settings > Integrations > OpenAI ChatGPT.
2. Enter your OpenAI API key in the designated field and save the changes.

Step 3: Create a Flow for Image Generation

1. Open Flow Builder: Go to the flow you would like to add the image generation to or create a new flow.
2. Add an OpenAI Action: On your Message node block, click + Add Content > Actions > OpenAI.

Step 4: Configure the Action

1. Click on the action (within the node block and on the left side box) to open the configuration settings.
2. In the dropdown, change “Generate Text” to “Generate Image”.
3. The user message serves as the image prompt (instructions to the AI on what image to create). Example: “Create a flat design illustration of a robotic AI-powered dog on a pink pastel background.” You can also use custom fields to use a person’s response as the prompt or a system field such as {{last_input}}.
4. Select your size and AI model (e.g., DALL·E 3, 1024×1024).
5. Save response to a custom field: This field will store the image URL. You can select an existing text field or create a new one (e.g., image_gen_url).

Step 5: Add the AI Image to Your Flow

1. + Add Content Block > Image > Insert Link.
2. The image URL is the custom field where the response is saved (e.g., {{image_gen_ai}}).
3. Preview your flow and test if the image is generated as expected.

Expert Tips for Effective Image Generation

1. Be Specific with Prompts: The more detailed your text prompt, the better the results. Example: Instead of “a cat”, try “a fluffy white cat sitting on a windowsill with sunlight streaming in.”
2. Experiment with Styles: Specify artistic styles (e.g., “watercolor,” “3D render,” “minimalist”) to achieve the desired look.
3. Iterate and Refine: Don’t hesitate to tweak your prompts and regenerate images until you get the perfect result. If speed is crucial, try different models to see what works best for you.
4. Use Custom Fields for Personalization: Include multiple user preferences in your prompts using custom fields. This makes the image highly tailored to that user.
