To create an image:

  1. Go to your project in Wixel.
  2. Open a chat with Aria and choose how to generate an image: 
    • Describe what you want to create: Write a description like "Create an image of a puppy". You can also specify the style or mood of the image.
    • Add a reference image: Click the Add icon  on the chat to upload a reference image, then describe what you want to create using that image.
    • Promote your business on social media: Create posts tailored to the right dimensions for social media for a product launch, to promote a product or service, or to announce an event. To begin, tell Aria to "Create a social media post".
