Generating & Editing Images with Ask AI

Learn how to generate, edit, and analyze images using natural-language prompts in Ask AI and Content AI inside your Kyrios account.

Step 1: Generate & Edit Images in the Ask AI Modal

You can generate and edit custom visuals directly from the global navigation bar in your account.

  1. Log in to your Kyrios account.

  2. Click the Ask AI icon located in the top-right navigation bar.

    3. In the text field, enter your image generation prompt (e.g., "Generate an image of a beautiful sunset").

    4. Press Enter or click the Send (Arrowhead) icon to generate the image.

    5. To edit the generated image, click the prompt field directly below the rendered image.

    6. Enter an edit instruction describing the change you want to make (e.g., "Add a few birds in the sky").

    7. Submit the prompt and wait for Ask AI to render the updated image.

Step 2: Edit Images Generated via Content AI

You can also refine AI-generated images within specific content workflows, such as the Social Planner.

  1. Navigate to Marketing > Social Planner.

  2. Create a new post and generate an image using Content AI, or open an existing post containing a Content AI-generated image.

  3. Click Edit with AskAI.

  4. Enter your edit instruction in the prompt field (e.g., "Change the latte art to a cat").

  5. Submit the prompt to render the updated image.

Step 3: Save or Copy Generated Images

Images created in an Ask AI session are temporary until explicitly saved or copied.

  1. To permanently save the image, click the Save icon located below the rendered image. This action saves the asset to your Media Storage library.

  2. To copy the image to your clipboard for immediate use, click the Copy icon.

Note: If an image is not saved to Media Storage, it will only remain accessible within the active Ask AI chat session.

  • Platform Intent (Automatic Ratio Selection):

    "Create an image for an Instagram Story promoting a summer event." (Ask AI will format this to 9:16 automatically).

Session-Aware Editing and Image History

Ask AI maintains session context during image creation to allow continuous editing.

  • Context Retention: Edits are bound to the specific base image generated during the active chat session.

  • Iterative Adjustments: You can refine an image through multiple sequential prompts without starting over.

  • Storage Control: Only images manually saved using the Save icon will populate in your Media Storage to prevent library clutter.

Common Issues and Fixes

Image Not Appearing in Media Storage

  • Cause: The image was generated or edited, but the Save icon was not selected.

  • Fix: Re-open the Ask AI session thread, locate the image, and click the Save icon to push the asset to Media Storage.

Edits Not Showing in Content AI History

  • Cause: Ask AI session history operates independently of Content AI post history.

  • Fix: Save the edited image to Media Storage or click Use this image to attach it directly to your Content AI post.

FAQ

Can I specify an artistic style for the generated image?

Yes. You can specify artistic styles such as "photorealistic," "3D render," "cartoon," or "vector illustration" directly inside your prompt.

Where are my generated images stored by default?

Images are stored temporarily within the active Ask AI session thread. Clicking the Save icon moves the asset to Media Storage permanently.

How do I select an aspect ratio?

Include the specific ratio directly in your text prompt (e.g., "Create a product image in a 4:5 aspect ratio").

Can Ask AI select the aspect ratio automatically?

Yes. If you state the intended use case or platform (e.g., "YouTube thumbnail" or "TikTok video background"), Ask AI will automatically select the corresponding ratio.

Are there additional usage fees for Ask AI image editing?

No separate fees apply for image editing. Capabilities are included for accounts with active AI Employee access or enabled Content AI pay-per-use billing.

Can I edit an image multiple times?

Yes. You can enter sequential edit prompts within the same Ask AI session to modify the image repeatedly.
