How to Generate Your First AI Photo
A step-by-step guide to creating stunning, on-brand AI images using your persona — including tips on prompts, models, and aspect ratios.
Before You Start
Make sure you've set up your Persona first (see our guide on that). The AI will use your persona to automatically enhance your prompts.
Step 1 — Go to Generate
Click Generate in the sidebar, then select the Image tab.
Step 2 — Write Your Prompt
Describe the scene you want. Be specific — the more detail, the better.
Good prompt examples:
- *"Professional headshot in a modern office, warm natural light, confident expression"*
- *"Speaking on stage at a conference, crowd in the background, dynamic lighting"*
- *"Casual outdoor photo in a park, golden hour, relaxed and approachable"*
Your persona context (bio, industry, tone) is automatically added to the prompt behind the scenes.
Step 3 — Choose a Model
- DALL-E 3 — Best for creative, polished images. Great for lifestyle and editorial shots.
- DALL-E 2 — Faster, good for simpler compositions.
- Face Consistent (nano-banana-2) — Uses your uploaded persona photos to keep your face in the image. Best for realistic personal brand photos.
Step 4 — Pick an Aspect Ratio
- Square (1:1) — Perfect for Instagram posts and profile photos
- Portrait (9:16) — Great for Stories and Reels thumbnails
- Landscape (16:9) — Ideal for LinkedIn banners and YouTube thumbnails
Step 5 — Generate and Download
Hit Generate. Once the image appears, click Download to save it to your device. If you're not happy with the result, refine your prompt and try again — each attempt costs one of your daily credits.
