## Description

The Image Generation tool lets you create custom images on demand—simply describe what you want in the mentorAI chat, and the AI returns a picture in seconds. It’s perfect for visualizing ideas, illustrating projects, or adding graphics to assignments without leaving the learning environment.

## Target Audience

**Student**

## Features

#### Prompt‑Based Creation

Type a natural‑language description (e.g.,

> “Generate an image of a happy puppy”
) and mentorAI produces a matching image.


#### Instant In‑Chat Display

Generated images appear directly **below the AI’s response**—no downloads or external sites required.

#### Tool‑Toggle Status

The Image Generation tool can be switched **on or off** by instructors; students can **verify it’s enabled at a glance**.

#### Iterative Refinement

If the first result isn’t perfect, you can send **follow‑up prompts** (e.g.,

> “Make the background blue”
) and mentorAI will adjust the image.


## How to Use (step by step)

#### Confirm the Tool Is On

In your mentor’s sidebar, ensure **Image Generation is toggled On**.
If it’s off, contact your instructor to enable it.

#### Describe the Image

Click the **lower prompt box** and type your request, such as:

> Generate an image of a happy puppy.


#### Send the Prompt

Press **Send** (or hit **Enter**).

#### View the Output

mentorAI quickly creates and **displays the image right in the chat window**.

#### Refine if Needed

Add **follow‑up instructions** (e.g.,

> “Add a ball in the puppy’s mouth”
) to generate a new version.


## Pedagogical Use Cases

#### Concept Illustration

Generate diagrams or visuals to accompany explanations—e.g.,

> “Create a labeled diagram of the water cycle.”


#### Creative Writing Support

Produce scene images that match a story excerpt, helping visualize narrative settings or characters.

#### Project Prototyping

Mock up design ideas for engineering, architecture, or art projects without specialized software.

#### Language Learning

Ask for images matching vocabulary words (e.g.,

> “Show a bustling marketplace”
) to reinforce word meanings.


#### Presentation Enhancements

Quickly create unique graphics for slides, posters, or reports when stock images don’t fit the topic.

Whenever you need a new visual, just write a **clear description** and let **mentorAI render it for you**—fast, simple, and right inside the chat.
