# AI Template Generation

# AI Template Generation

Create templates automatically using AI prompts.

## How It Works

Describe what you want, and AI generates a complete template with layers, colors, fonts, and layout.

## Using AI Generation

1. Go to **Templates** in your dashboard
2. Click **Create with AI** (or the AI button)
3. Enter a description like:
* "Instagram post for a coffee shop sale with warm colors"
* "Professional business card with minimalist design"
* "YouTube thumbnail with bold text and gradient background"
4. Optionally upload a reference image
5. Click **Generate**
6. Review and customize the result

## Tips for Better Results

### Be Specific
❌ "Make a poster"
✅ "Event poster for a summer music festival with tropical colors, featuring date and venue text"

### Include Details
* **Purpose**: social media, print, web banner
* **Style**: minimalist, bold, vintage, corporate
* **Colors**: warm, cool, specific hex codes
* **Elements**: what text/images to include

### Use Reference Images
Upload an example image for style inspiration. The AI will analyze:
* Color palette
* Layout structure
* Typography style
* Visual mood

## After Generation

1. **Review** the generated template
2. **Rename layers** for easier API access
3. **Adjust** colors, fonts, or positions
4. **Save** and start generating renders

## Limitations

* Complex illustrations may need refinement
* Very specific brand guidelines may require manual adjustment
* Generated templates are starting points—customize as needed
