We’re excited to announce a creative new feature that’s rolling out for our Discourse users— **AI-Generated Post Illustrations**.

This new feature introduces the ability to add images to a post based on the post content.

**How Does It Work?**

You can trigger the AI-powered Illustrate Post feature directly from the post editor. Once your text is analyzed, you’ll be presented with a set of thumbnails tailored to visualize your post’s content. You can preview these images, select your favorite ones, and flawlessly incorporate them into your post.

**To Site Admins**

As always, we’ve made the feature compatible with multiple providers so you have the flexibility to pick what’s best for your community.

Currently, you can use:

- StableDiffusion
- DallE 3
- Nothing

This will cover both people opting for paid services and those who prefer self-hosting their models.

### How to enable / disable

Check the site setting **ai helper illustrate post model**.
