Flows
Connect a picture to AI cards, run them with one tap, and update every result when the picture changes.
Steps
- Flows tie your AI work to the picture it comes from. Put a photo, a video or a 3D design in a source frame, connect cards to it, and run them. Change the picture, then update everything in one tap.
- A source frame is the dashed rectangle a flow starts from. In AI Tools, open Flows and add a Source, or select a photo or a 3D design and start from a template. Drop a photo, a video or a design into the frame, or draw in it. Whatever is inside is what the cards read.
- A card is one AI step, such as Make ideas, Apply a style or Make a presentation. Add one with Add a card. To connect it, select the frame or another card and drag the dot on its edge to the new card, or double tap the dot to choose one. A card reads the frame, or the pictures another card made.
- Every card shows its price on its button, and nothing is charged until you tap. Run makes the card’s first set of pictures. A run that could cost more than 100 credits asks once before it starts.
- Change the source and its cards turn amber and read Out of date. Update redraws the same ideas on the changed picture, and you choose whether to keep the old set or replace it. Select the frame and choose Update cards to bring all of its cards up to date at once.
- A card that reads another card’s set uses the pictures you check. Every picture starts checked. Under Pictures to use, tap a picture to check or uncheck it, or choose Check all. Apply a style, Edit the picture, Make a presentation and Upscale run once for each checked picture, so the price follows your checks. Make ideas reads one picture, so you choose which.
- Live lets a card update by itself. Turn on Update by itself in the card’s settings, and it redraws its pictures in place each time you finish changing the source, without adding a set. Live spends credits without a tap, so it first asks you to set a limit for the Space (50 is suggested) and pauses when it reaches it. Tap Allow more to go on, or change the limit. Updates you start yourself never count toward it. Upscale never runs Live.
- The Design Partner can build a flow for you. In a Space, ask for something like “Make three ideas of this chair and a presentation of the best.” It places the frame, the cards and the connections in one step and shows a Run button with the price. Nothing runs until you tap it, and one Undo removes the whole flow.
