Best use cases

  • Explore a visual style
  • Create concept art

  • Test campaign directions

Best when

  • You care about aesthetics, mood, and visual direction more than chat.
  • You are iterating on illustration, concept art, or campaign looks.
  • You already understand basic image prompt structure.

Not ideal when

  • You need writing, studying, planning, or coding help.
