Ask for a picture, get a file you can use.

​
What it does

Describe the image you want and your coworker makes it. Not a link to somewhere else — an actual file, saved into the task, ready to download or hand to the next step. Because the image lands in the task’s files, your coworker can keep working with it: drop it into a document it’s writing, attach it to an email, or include it in a report.

​
When you’d use it

  • A header image for the blog post your coworker just drafted
  • A simple diagram to make a proposal easier to follow
  • Product mock-ups for a pitch deck
  • A social card sized for a campaign
  • Placeholder artwork so a draft doesn’t look half-finished
  • An illustration for an internal announcement

​
Turning it on

Open your coworker, choose Capabilities, and find Generate images in the Built-in tools list. It’s on by default.
Generate images — Create images from text prompts, saved into the task files.
The Generate images row on the Capabilities tab, switched on

Generate images on the Capabilities tab. Results land in the task's files.

​
What it looks like

The image appears inline in the conversation, and the file appears in the Files panel beside it. You can open it full size, download it, or ask for changes — “make it wider”, “try it on a dark background” — and get a new version.

​
Good to know

Describe the job, not just the subject. “A header image for a blog post about warehouse automation, wide, muted colours, no text” gets you something usable. “A warehouse” gets you a warehouse.
Images are saved as files, so they carry through the rest of the task. Ask your coworker to write the post and make the header, and it can do both in one go.

​
Common questions

Yes. Say what you want different and your coworker generates a new version. The earlier ones stay in the files, so you can go back to one.
Sometimes, and not always accurately. For anything where the wording has to be exactly right — a price, a name, a headline — generate the image without text and add the words yourself.
This capability creates new images from a description. For working with an image you already have — resizing, converting, combining several into a PDF — that’s Working with code and files.
It’s a reasonable one to switch off for a coworker that never needs it — a support agent, a data analyst. Fewer capabilities means a more focused coworker.
