How Storytell’s Image Generation Works

Storytell's image generation system leverages advanced AI image generation models that interpret your text descriptions and convert them into visual content. You can enhance your prompts by incorporating files from your knowledge base or referencing specific Assets and Concepts using @mentions.

Here's a spectrum of what's possible with Storytell's Image Generation:

  • Visual Concepts: Generate images that visually represent abstract concepts or ideas from your data, making complex information more accessible.

  • Custom Illustrations: Create unique illustrations for reports, presentations, or digital content in various styles.

  • Styled Imagery: Influence the aesthetic with styles like vivid for dramatic, hyper-realistic effects, or natural for a more organic feel.

⚠️ Image generation is a beta feature and is more prone to errors like misspellings in charts and graphs. Make sure to double check the underlying data before using.

Images & Scenes

Generate realistic photographs, landscapes, and environmental scenes that bring context to your narratives. Available options include Photorealistic Scene, Metaphorical Image, and Conceptual Illustration.

Examples:

Photorealistic scene of an intimate couples therapy breakthrough moment captured through laptop screens during a video call. Two women face each other through their computer cameras in separate rooms. On the left screen, Alex has short-cropped hair, wearing a plain grey t-shirt, sitting in an office chair with her face completely relaxed and open, eyes soft and filled with recognition as she looks directly at her partner through the camera. On the right screen, Sasha wears a soft, stylish sweater, her laptop carefully positioned on a stack of books, her face illuminated with a genuine smile, eyes clear and bright where tears had been moments before, radiating relief and connection. The lighting in both rooms is warm and soft, creating an intimate evening atmosphere. Both women's body language shows openness and vulnerability - shoulders relaxed, leaning slightly forward toward their screens. The composition captures the profound moment of reconnection between partners who have just broken through years of protective patterns. Professional therapy session setting, realistic home office environments visible in backgrounds, natural window light mixing with warm lamp light. High detail on facial expressions showing genuine emotion, hope, and the relief of finally being seen by one's partner. Photorealistic rendering of laptop screens, realistic skin tones, authentic contemporary residential interiors, cinematic emotional depth.
Photorealistic Scene
Two people stand on opposite sides of a gaping crevice under a twilight sky. The person on the left, a South Asian man, is building a sophisticated bridge relying on blueprints, tools, and a matrix of geometric shapes symbolizing rationality. On the right, a Hispanic woman works on her part of the bridge amid fluid fabrics, luminous lights, and natural shapes denoting beauty and sentiment. Their bridge consists of intertwined elements: rugged steel beams adorned with blooming climbers, dependable stones decked with softly gleaming lanterns. As their hands almost meet in the middle, the gap diminishes. The sky shifts from cool blues to warm sunset hues midway, while shadows beneath suggest a past filled with disagreement and confusion. The overall mood resonates with hope and shows the challenging yet stunning labor of bonding and reconciliation. The picture is to be painted in a symbolic, deeply touched, dreamlike manner with an emphasis on lighting, reminiscent of pre-1912 surrealistic style.
Metaphorical Image
Create a visual depiction of an abstract concept representing relationship healing through therapy. The scenario includes two abstract figures initially separate and defensive, with their forms made of sharp geometric shapes, standing on opposite sides of the image. In between them, there is a shadow form symbolizing fear. This should represent anxieties such as fear of abandonment, typical role entrapment, and emotional isolation. As we reach the center of the illustration, the figures should slowly soften and merge into organic forms. A warm golden light should radiate from their point of connection. Include symbolic elements such as a shield transforming into an open hand, fortress walls crumbling into bridges, and fragmented mirror pieces coming together. The colors should transition from cold shades of blues and grays on the external edges to warm hues of oranges, soft pinks, and gentle golds at the center. The composition should convey a journey from separation and self-protection towards mutual recognition, safety, and partnership. Execute this concept in a modern abstract style with elements of surrealism providing symbolic depth, provoking thought, and evoking emotion.

Examples:

An allegorical illustration in a modern style showcasing a sense of balance and partnership. A Middle-Eastern man and a Caucasian woman are seated across a table, collaboratively constructing a miniature house from vibrant, translucent pieces. One half of the house radiates a warm, amber light signifying connection and welcome, while the other half emits a serene blue light denoting refuge and solitude. The pieces they use are from two distinct puzzle boxes beside them. Their hands meet in the middle symbolizing unity where the disparate halves of the house connect. A soft gradient in the backdrop transitions from warm to cool tones, embodying the fusion of diverse needs into a common vision. This scene evokes feelings of understanding, teamwork, and the creation of beauty from differing viewpoints.

Artistic

Generate creative and stylized artwork, from abstract compositions to detailed artistic renderings. Available options include Character Portrait and Abstract Art.

Photorealistic portrait of two women in their early 30s sitting across from each other during a therapy video call session, creating an intimate and emotionally charged atmosphere. On the left side is Alex, a woman with short-cropped hair styled in a practical pixie cut, wearing a plain grey t-shirt, sitting in an office chair. Her expression shows a mix of impatience and vulnerability, with a tight corner of her mouth and a strong jawline. She has an athletic build, and her face suggests someone who defaults to logic but is learning to soften. There are subtle signs of exhaustion and resistance in her posture, with one hand positioned near her face. She has a fair to medium skin tone and defined features, conveying a serious demeanor with hints of protectiveness. On the right side is Sasha, a woman with shoulder-length styled hair, wearing a soft, stylish cream-colored sweater. She sits with precise, careful posture, her laptop propped on books visible in the frame. Her eyes appear sad and vulnerable with a hint of tears, expressing deep emotion and fragility. She has softer features and a gentle expression full of unspoken hurt but also empathy. She has a medium skin tone and an elegant presence, with movements that show both tension and grace. Between them, there is visible emotional tension but also a deep connection. The lighting is soft and warm, reminiscent of a late afternoon Zoom call. Both women are positioned at slight angles toward each other but not quite meeting eyes, capturing a moment of vulnerability and breakthrough in couples therapy. The image is of professional photography quality, with a shallow depth of field. Natural window lighting creates gentle shadows, and contemporary home office settings are visible in the blurred background. The cinematic composition emphasizes the psychological distance and intimacy between them, with high detail on their facial expressions, showing complex emotions of two people learning to truly see each other.
Character Portrait
Create a modern style abstract expressionist artwork that portrays the emotional journey of a couple navigating conflict. The canvas is divided into two main zones each representing individual's feelings. The left side characterizes exhaustion, solitude and the need for refuge with cool blues, grays, and deep indigos. It has sharp angular forms and textured brushstrokes hinting tension. The right side symbolizes the need for connection and warmth with warmer hues of oranges, yellows, and terracotta. This side has organic curves and gentle gradients evoking a sense of invitation. The meeting point of these contrasting sides is somewhat central where the colors softly blend creating purples and pinks, symbolic of newfound vulnerability, breakthrough and hope. Overlaying translucent shapes scattered throughout, hinting at the ongoing revelation of underlying fears. The painting transitions from rigid and defensive at edges to fluid and harmonious toward the center. Dark shadows at the periphery give way to subtle light and integration in the middle, evoking deep-seated emotions - tension, shame, fear of abandonment, exhaustion, vulnerability, and eventually hope.
Abstract Art

Use cases:

  • Custom artwork for creative projects

  • Stylized illustrations with specific aesthetic treatments

  • Abstract visual representations of complex concepts

Setting expectations and best practices

To get the most out of Storytell's Image Generation, consider these tips:

  • Be descriptive: Your prompt is key. Provide clear, detailed descriptions of the subject, setting, colors, and overall mood. For example, instead of "a dog," try "a golden retriever running through a sunny field with a blue sky, photorealistic style."

  • Specify image generation models: Storytell automatically routes your request to the most suitable image model, but you can also explicitly request a specific model in your prompt by adding the model name into your prompt. Choose from the following:

    • Dall E

    • Banana

    • Imagen

  • Review RevisedPrompt: Sometimes, the AI may subtly rephrase your prompt to ensure safety or improve the image quality. If a RevisedPrompt is returned, it indicates the exact text the AI used for generation.

  • Understand safety filters: Storytell employs safety filters to prevent the creation of inappropriate content. If an image is blocked, try rephrasing your prompt to comply with content guidelines.

  • Iterate and refine: Image generation is often an iterative process. If your first attempt isn't perfect, adjust your prompt or parameters and try again. Small changes can lead to significantly different results.

Current limitations

No partial editing: Storytell treats each image generation as a separate, standalone event. You cannot ask to edit specific parts of an already generated image—each request creates an entirely new image based on your complete prompt.

Standard sizing only: Custom dimensions, aspect ratios, and orientation specifications are not yet supported. All generated images use default sizing parameters.

Beta feature considerations: As a beta feature, image generation may produce errors in text-heavy visuals like charts and graphs. Always verify underlying data accuracy and double-check any text elements before using generated images in final presentations or publications.

Getting better results

  • Include style keywords like "photorealistic," "illustration," "diagram," "watercolor," or "minimalist"

  • Specify lighting conditions ("golden hour," "soft lighting," "dramatic shadows")

  • Mention composition preferences ("close-up," "wide angle," "bird's eye view")

  • Reference artistic styles or movements when relevant ("impressionist style," "art deco influence")

  • Use descriptive adjectives for mood and atmosphere ("serene," "energetic," "professional," "whimsical")
