Last week I shared an experiment: an AI that interviews you before generating images, videos, or 3D models, instead of expecting you to come up with the perfect prompt.
The feedback here was incredibly helpful. A few of you also took the time to try it, and watching how people interacted with it made one thing obvious:
It still felt too much like a chatbot.
The AI asked questions, but users were still expected to lead the conversation. That wasn't the experience I was aiming for.
So I went back and redesigned the interaction.
The AI is now much more proactive. It drives the conversation, asks better follow-up questions, and keeps digging until it has a clear picture of what you're trying to create.
The interface changed just as much. Instead of a traditional chat, you're only focused on the current step. Previous messages stay out of the way, the AI suggests answers you can select with a click, and you can always type your own response whenever the suggestions aren't quite right.
Only once the AI is confident it understands your intent does it propose generating the final artifact.
The goal is to make creating something feel less like prompt engineering and more like working through a creative brief with someone who's asking the right questions.
For now, I'm focusing on getting this workflow right for text-to-image generation. Video, 3D, and image-to-image generation are temporarily disabled while I finish integrating them into the new experience, but they're coming back very soon.
I'd really appreciate another round of feedback.
A few things I'm curious about:
- Does this feel better than a traditional chat interface?
- Are the suggested answers useful, or would you rather type everything yourself?
- Does the AI ask enough questions, or should it be even more proactive before generating?
You can try it here:
Thanks again to everyone who commented on the previous post. Several of the changes in this version came directly from your suggestions, and I'd love to hear what you think of this iteration.
