Dall-E Integration Documentation

What the Integration Does

The Dall-E integration allows the generation of images based on text prompts via OpenAI's Dall-E model.

Short Description

This integration is used to create visuals from a textual description, leveraging the capabilities of the Dall-E model. It's typically used in applications requiring creative visual content generation such as advertising, digital media, and art creation.

Example Scenarios

  • Generating marketing visuals: Create unique advertisements based on product descriptions.
  • Artistic content: Artists and content creators can use it to generate inspiration pieces based on thematic prompts.
  • Prototyping visuals: Quick generation of design prototypes for review based on conceptual text inputs.

Capabilities

What the Integration Enables

  • Generate an image from a text prompt using the Dall-E model.

Input/Output Schemas for Each Capability

  • Input
    • prompt (str): A text description of the desired image.
    • model (str): Model to be used, either 'dall-e-3' or 'dall-e-2'.
    • n (int): Number of images to generate (only 1 for 'dall-e-3').
    • size (Optional): Dimensions of the image, e.g. "256x256", "512x512", etc.
    • quality (str): 'standard' or 'hd'.
    • style (str): 'vivid' or 'natural'.
  • Output
    • A string message indicating the success of image generation and the URL of the generated image.

Limitations

  • The 'dall-e-3' model supports only single image generation per request.
  • Requires an OpenAI API key.

Setup & Configuration

Prerequisites

  • OpenAI account.
  • OpenAI API Key.

Authentication

  • The integration uses the OpenAI API key, which must be set as an environmental variable OPENAI_API_KEY or passed explicitly.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Set up an account with OpenAI and retrieve the API key.
  2. Ensure the 'openai' package is installed in your environment (pip install openai).
  3. Configure the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY with your API key.

Testing Connection

  • Validate that an image can be generated by sending a test prompt and receiving a successful output with image URL.

How to Use in Agents

Example Prompt or Configuration:

agent.create_image(prompt="A futuristic cityscape at dusk")

Best Practices

  • Use concise and descriptive text prompts for better image accuracy.
  • Test with different styles and qualities to achieve the desired visual outcome.
