Improved Image Generation Support in Discourse AI

AI-generated summary

Discourse AI has enhanced its image generation support with a simplified setup for popular providers like Open AI’s GPT-Image 1, Google Gemini Nano Banana, Flux 1.1 Pro, and Flux 2 Pro, plus a Custom option. Administrators can now easily enable image generation via the AI tools menu by selecting a provider, entering API credentials, and configuring settings like image size and quality. The feature integrates with AI Bot, Illustrate Post, and AI Personas. A preview video demonstrates the new capabilities. David_Ghost asked for help using the Stability API with the custom tool, noting it isn’t working as expected. Future updates will expand AI features powered by image generation.
