Tented makes images, too

The same chat that writes your copy and codes your pages can generate original images: hero photos, product shots, textures, illustrations — whatever your page or email needs. Just describe the image in your prompt, the way you’d describe anything else:
Add a hero image of an oceanfront cabin at golden hour, and give the dining section a photo of a coastal dinner spread.
Tented’s image agent generates each image, saves it to your assets, and weaves it into the design. It works everywhere you chat with Tented: the tent editor, the email editor, and both template editors.
Be as specific with images as you are with copy — subject, mood, lighting, and style all help. “A warm, editorial photo of fresh sourdough on a rustic wooden counter, morning light” beats “a bread photo.”

​
What it costs

Image generation uses AI credits, separate from the code generation that places the images:
  • 0.5 credits per image
  • Up to 5 images per request
A single image generates right away. Ask for two or more and Tented pauses to confirm the cost first: A screenshot of the Image Agent confirmation card in the editor chat, quoting the number of images and total credit cost, with Yes, generate and Cancel buttons. Click Yes, generate to proceed, or Cancel to rewrite your request — canceling costs nothing. If you ask for more than five images, Tented offers to generate the first five; you can always request the rest in a follow-up message.

​
Where the images go

Generated images appear right in the chat as they finish, and the follow-up generation codes them into your design: A screenshot of the editor chat showing the Image Agent's generated-images message with three thumbnails, the follow-up generation describing where each image was placed, and the page hero using the new cabin photo. Every generated image is also saved to the tent’s assets (the image icon in the top bar), with a descriptive filename — so you can reuse or download it later, even if you change the design: A screenshot of the Tent Assets panel listing the three generated images with descriptive filenames and hosted URLs. You can also generate images without touching the design — handy for building up an asset library:
Generate a photo of a seaside spa treatment room and save it to my assets. Don’t change the page.

​
Generated vs. uploaded images

Two ways to get images into your work, and they play well together:
  • Generate when you need something custom that doesn’t exist yet — Tented creates it from your description.
  • Upload (the + button in the chat, or the assets window) when you have the real thing — your product photos, your logo, your team headshots.
Reference either kind in your prompts: “use the photo I just uploaded as the hero background” works exactly like “use the second image you generated.”
Image generations are tracked in Analytics alongside initial and iterative generations, so you can see how your credits are being spent.

​
Tips for better images

  • One subject per image. Five focused requests beat one crowded collage prompt.
  • Name the style. “Editorial photography,” “flat illustration,” “watercolor,” “3D render” — the agent follows style cues closely.
  • Match your brand. Mention your palette or mood (“warm neutrals, soft morning light”) so generated images sit naturally next to your brand colors.
  • Iterate like everything else. Don’t like a result? Ask for a variation: “regenerate the hero image, but at dusk and with no people.”
