Ask the AI to generate an image

Have the chat generate an image with the image model you enabled, then put it in a note.

The chat can generate images as well as write. Ask for an image of something and the agent generates it, shows it in the conversation, and puts it in a note when you ask.

Asking for one

Ask the way you would ask a person: generate an image of a taco, make an illustration of a lighthouse at dusk, give me a poster for the study group. The chat shows a generating step while the image is made, and the image appears under it as soon as it is done. Describe the subject, the setting and the mood if you have one in mind, and say so if the image should hold no words.

Putting it in a note

Say where it goes: add that to the note, put the image under the ingredients, make a new note about tacos with the image in it. The agent places it the way it places any other edit, section by section, and the note keeps the image the way it keeps a photo you dropped in: it syncs with the note, and the note shows it on every device.

Which model generates it

Open Settings, go to Models and switch on one model under Image Models. Grape Pro Image Model is included with the Pro plan and needs no key; Plus does not include it. With your own API key, on Plus, Pro or Lifetime, click Add Model under Image Models instead and pick one of the models OpenAI, Google or xAI offer you, see Add your own AI models. The same model draws the pictures in a slide deck and the infographics.

2With your own key, add one from OpenAI, Google or xAI with Add Model and switch it on instead. Only one is on at a time.

The allowance

Images generated by Grape Pro Image Model count against the AI images bar on the Usage page in Settings. Images generated with your own key are billed by that provider and are not metered here.

When it will not generate

If no image model is switched on, the agent says so and points you at Settings. If the provider refuses an image, rephrase it; the agent will not retry the same wording on its own. An agent you made generates images only while its Make images switch is on.
