Image Engine

This is where you configure your character’s ability to generate images. When someone asks your character to draw something, create a picture, or make a meme, this is the engine that handles it.
Image Engine is a newer feature and may still be evolving. If you find a bug or have feedback, share it in the AurInfer Discord.
How to get here:
Go to your character’s dashboard → left sidebar → click Universal → click Image Engine
The full path is: Universal → Image Engine This section has three sub-pages:
  1. Image Engines — choose which image generation model to use and configure it
  2. Playground — test image generation without needing a live conversation
  3. Character Gallery — browse every image your character has ever generated

Image Engines

Full path: Universal → Image Engine → Image Engines This is the main configuration page. Here you choose your image generation model and set how it generates images.
SettingWhat it doesSimple explanation
Model (dropdown)Which AI image model your character uses. Examples: Stable Diffusion, FLUX, etc.Like choosing between different artists — each one has a different style and quality.
Guidance Scale (slider)How strictly the AI follows your text prompt vs. using its own creative interpretation.High = very literal (“draw exactly what I said”). Low = more artistic freedom.
Steps (number)How many “refinement passes” the AI makes when creating the image.More steps = higher quality image but takes longer to generate.
Aspect Ratio (dropdown)The shape/size of the generated image.Options like 1:1 (square), 16:9 (widescreen), 9:16 (portrait/phone), etc.
Format (dropdown)The file type of the generated image.PNG (high quality), JPEG (smaller file), WEBP (web-optimized).

​
Playground

Full path: Universal → Image Engine → Playground This is your testing sandbox. You can type a prompt here and generate an image immediately — without needing to go into a real conversation or wait for a user to ask. How to use it:
  1. Navigate to Universal → Image Engine → Playground
  2. Type a description of an image you want to generate (the “prompt”)
  3. Click Generate (or similar button)
  4. See the result instantly
What to use the Playground for:
  • Test whether your model and settings are producing the quality you expect
  • Try different prompt wordings to see what gets the best results
  • Preview your configuration before your character encounters real image requests
Full path: Universal → Image Engine → Character Gallery This page shows every image your character has ever generated across all conversations and platforms (Discord, Bluesky, etc.). Images are displayed in a grid layout. Each image is labeled with:
  • The platform it came from (e.g., Discord)
  • An AI badge showing it was AI-generated
What to use the Gallery for:
  • Review the quality of images being generated in real conversations
  • Find and reference specific images your character has made
  • Identify patterns if the character is generating off-topic or low-quality images
If your character keeps generating weird or off-topic images, look through the Gallery to understand the pattern. Then go to Universal → AI Engine → Advanced Settings → Global Instructions and add a rule like: "Only generate images when the user explicitly asks for one." This helps the character use image generation more appropriately.
