Training & Brand Settings

Leverage your workspace's training data and brand profile for more contextual, brand-aligned image generation.

Training Data Integration

Training data provides the AI with deep knowledge about your brand, products, and industry.

Training Data Types:

• Text content and documents (PDF, Word, etc.)
• Website content from URL scraping
• Q&A pairs about your brand
• Google Docs and Notion pages

Assignment System:

• Training data must be assigned to "Image Gen BV" in Workspace Training
• Only assigned data is used during generation
• Multiple training sources can be combined
• Character limits apply per workspace plan

Benefits:

• AI understands your brand's specific terminology and products
• Generates images aligned with your brand's visual language
• Improves prompt interpretation with brand context
• Creates product visuals using knowledge from training documents
• Ensures industry-specific accuracy

Example: If your training includes product documentation, the AI can accurately generate images of your products even from brief prompts like "our flagship product in use."

Brand Settings Integration

Brand settings provide the AI with your complete brand profile to guide visual style and tone.

Brand Profile Components:

1. Brand Basics:

• Company name and description
• Primary brand color (hex value)
• Logo and visual identity

2. Brand Personality:

• Archetype: Hero, Creator, Explorer, Sage, Jester, Everyman
• Traits: Friendly, Professional, Bold, Trustworthy, Quirky, etc.
• Tone: Formal, Conversational, Witty, Inspirational, Empathetic

3. Market Position:

• Business model (B2B, B2C, Marketplace, Subscription, etc.)
• Target audience (Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, Executives, etc.)
• Unique selling proposition (Price, Quality, Innovation, etc.)

4. Brand Messaging:

• Core values (Integrity, Excellence, Innovation, etc.)
• Target emotions (Trust, Joy, Inspiration, Connection, etc.)
• Tagline and brand story

How Brand Settings Influence Generation:

• Colors: Brand colors inform palette selection and theme
• Personality: Archetype and traits guide visual style choices
• Audience: Target demographics influence composition and appeal
• Values: Core values ensure generated images align with brand ethics
• Tone: Visual tone matches brand communication style

Example: A brand with "Bold" and "Cutting Edge" personality traits targeting "Gen Z" will receive more vibrant, modern imagery than a "Professional" brand targeting "Executives."
