Art direction capture: turn a reference into an AI pipeline

You see an image you love, want 50 variations in the same spirit, and spend 3 hours rewriting the prompt by hand — that's exactly what art direction capture eliminates.

Art direction capture is the bridge between inspiration and production. Import an image, extract its visual codes — palette, mood, composition, photographic style — then generate an entire series that respects those codes.

  1. Step 1 — Inspiration mirror: import reference, system extracts art direction.
  2. Step 2 — Face Swap: inject your identity (@model) into the generated scene.
  3. Step 3 — Realism finishing: skin, lighting, micro-details.
  4. Step 4 — Carousel: generate 3–10 cohesive Instagram slides.
