Procedure Create by Chatting

Procedure 8: Create by Chatting

This procedure makes a picture and then a short video from it, by describing both in plain words in Chat.

Before you start: save your Replicate key under Image in Settings. Chat can run on the phone (Procedure 7) or through OpenRouter. In Settings, under Chat, Create images and videos from chat must be on. It is on at first.

Cost: the chat itself is free on the phone and a fraction of a cent through OpenRouter. Each job costs its model's normal price, which the job card shows before you tap Generate.

Steps

1. On the main screen, tap Chat.
2. Ask for a picture in plain words, such as make a picture of a red fox in the snow, wide.
3. The reply carries a job card. Read its summary, such as "Image, wide", and the prompt the image model will receive.
4. Change any word of the prompt if you like. To use a different model, pick it from Model. The details line shows the likely cost.
5. Tap Generate. The finished picture appears under the plan, in the chat.
6. Ask for the next step, such as turn that picture into a 5 second video where the fox walks away.
7. The new job card says Starts from the picture, with the fox picture's prompt. Pick a video model. WAN 2.2 fast costs about 5 cents for a 480p clip, and WAN 2.7 about 50 cents at 720p.
8. Tap Generate. The app uploads the picture as the first frame, and the clip appears under the plan when it is done.

Tips

• "That picture" means the newest picture. To point at another one, tap Talk about this on it. A line above the message bar then says which picture the next message is about.
• To work on a photo from your phone, tap the photo button at the left of the message bar and pick the photo. Then say what to do with it, such as make it black and white or turn it into a 5 second video. The chat model cannot see the photo itself, so describe the change plainly.
• If the chat answers in words instead of making a plan, tap Use my words under the reply. A job card then uses your message exactly as you typed it. With a picture chosen, it can also edit that picture with your words.
• Cancel closes a plan without spending anything. Nothing runs until you tap Generate.
• A video plan that attached a picture you did not want has Without the picture.
• Edits work the same way: make the last picture black and white gives an edit card. Procedure 9 explains editing in more detail.
