use case
Let your agent generate product shots from a prompt.
Describe a product image. Your agent generates it, saves it next to your work, and moves on.
the problem
Why this is a pain.
You're drafting a landing page, a launch deck, or a product brief, and you need a mockup. Opening a separate image-gen playground, logging in, generating, downloading, dropping into your folder — that's a 10-minute context switch for a 30-second image.
Most image-generation platforms are web apps, not agent tools. Your AI agent can't call them without you gluing together SDKs, API keys, and download logic. By the time you've wired that up, you could have made the mockup yourself.
the workflow
How Frenchie handles it.
- 1
Ask your agent to generate an image directly with a concrete prompt — `Generate a minimalist product mockup: matte black wireless earbuds on a concrete surface, soft morning light, shallow depth of field`. Specific subject + style + lighting + composition outperforms vague aesthetic adjectives.
- 2
Your agent calls `generate_image` with the prompt — no setup beyond the one-time Frenchie install. Optional parameters: `size` (1024×1024 default, 1536×1024 landscape, 1024×1536 portrait), `quality` (low / medium / high / auto), `format` (PNG / JPEG / WebP), `background` (transparent / opaque / auto).
- 3
Frenchie generates the image (typically 20–60 seconds, 20 credits = $0.20) and saves it at `.frenchie/<prompt-slug>/generated.png` next to your work in stdio mode. HTTP mode returns a 30-minute presigned URL your agent can fetch.
- 4
Your agent references the image path directly — drop it into a Markdown doc, a deck slide, a design tool, or a CMS upload. For variations, call `generate_image` again with a refined prompt; each call is a fresh image (v1 generates exactly one per call).
example
What it looks like in practice.
Your prompt
Generate a minimalist product mockup: matte black wireless earbuds on a concrete surface, soft morning light, shallow depth of field.
Agent response
Generated image saved to .frenchie/earbuds-mockup/image.png (1024×1024, 20 credits, 4.8s). Ready to drop into your landing-page hero. Want a variation, a different angle, or a darker background?
What lands in your workspace
$frenchie generate "French bulldog eating pizza"
tips
Things worth knowing.
- Image generation is 20 credits per image — $0.20. A launch page with 10 shots runs $2.
- Prompts work like any other image-gen service: specific subject + style + lighting + composition. Be concrete.
- Images auto-save to the agent workspace. No separate download step, no playground hunt.
questions
Common questions.
What image sizes and formats do you support?
Standard 1024×1024 PNG by default. Other sizes and aspect ratios are supported — your agent passes them as parameters on the generate_image call.
Can I iterate on a prompt?
Yes — your agent can call generate_image repeatedly with refined prompts. Each call is 20 credits. Frenchie doesn't store prompts or images beyond 30 minutes after delivery.
Is it safe for client work?
Generated images are deleted from our storage 30 minutes after your agent retrieves them. We don't train on your prompts. Check your downstream licensing for the specific provider behind the generation.
