Asset Manager: Selecting Images for AI Context

The asset manager is a component within the AI interface that lets you select images to provide context to the AI assistant. This helps the AI understand your visual content and make better suggestions.

Use the asset manager to:

• Select images for the AI to reference
• Provide visual context for design requests
• Show examples of styles you want to achieve
• Give the AI specific images to work with

How to Use the Asset Manager

Accessing the Asset Manager:

1. Open the AI assistant panel
2. Look for the asset manager component in the AI interface
3. Browse and select images to provide context to the AI

Selecting Images:

• Click on images to select them for AI context
• Selected images will be highlighted
• The AI can now reference these images in its responses

Working with Multiple Images

Important: Specify Image Order

When selecting multiple images, always specify which image should be used where in your prompt.

❌ Vague: "Use these four images in a 2x2 grid" ✅ Specific: "Use these four images in a 2x2 grid: top-left should be the headshot, top-right the portfolio shot, bottom-left the behind-the-scenes photo, and bottom-right the final result"

Why this matters: Without specifying order, images can appear in random positions, which might not match your intended layout or story flow.

Best Practices for Image Selection

Providing Context

When using selected images, be specific:

• "Use the blue headshot as the main image"
• "Apply the color scheme from the selected brand image"
