Mark, the assistant in Saanora, now makes pictures in the chat. Ask for one and it arrives right in the reply: watch a little brush or a 1-bit print bring it in, then download it, copy it, edit it, make another or change its shape, all from the picture itself.
Some answers are pictures. A poster for Saturday's gig. A logo idea for the shop. A wallpaper of the harbour you keep talking about. You used to take that request somewhere else. Now you can ask Mark, in the chat you're already in, and the picture arrives in the reply.
Saanora is one AI for everything, and sometimes everything includes a picture. Pictures are on the web today, in your signed-in chats.
- Ask for illustrations, photos, posters, logos, icons, wallpapers or concept art, in words or with /image.
- Attach a photo to change it, or ask Mark to change a picture it made earlier in the chat.
- Watch it being made: a little ink brush, or a 1-bit print that opens into colour.
- Download, copy, edit, make another or change its shape, right on the picture.
- Private to you, and labelled as made with AI.
Just ask
Say what you want the way you'd say it to a person: "a poster for a jazz night, deep blue, a single trumpet, the date in big letters." Mark writes one short line, and the picture starts right under it. It can make up to 2 pictures in a reply, so "give me two takes" works too.
Mark remembers the pictures it made in a chat. Ask for "the same, but at night" a few messages later, and it changes the last picture it made. Attach a photo of your own and ask for a change, and it works from your photo instead. Before your photo is used, its location and camera details are removed.
Or just type /image
If you'd rather skip the sentence, type /image and what you want: /image a watercolour fox in the snow. To rework the last picture, type /edit and the change: /edit make it night, with a full moon. Type / on its own and the message box shows the commands.
Words and commands get you the same picture, with the same options on it afterwards. Both work in your signed-in chats on the web; temporary chats and rooms don't make pictures.
Watching it arrive
A picture takes a little while to make, so we gave the wait something to look at. There are two ways a picture can arrive, and they take turns on your device.
In one, a little ink brush paints calm studies while you wait, and its last stroke carries the picture in: ink first, the colour just behind. In the other, a crisp 1-bit field moves quietly in one ink, and the picture prints in as a 1-bit version of itself before it opens into full colour.
If it takes longer than usual, the line that comes with it gets calmer, not louder. With reduced motion switched on, you get a still frame and a simple fade. And nothing animates where nobody is looking: scroll away, and a picture that lands meanwhile is simply there when you come back.
Everything is on the picture
There's no row of buttons under a picture. What you can do with it is on the picture itself. A small download button sits in its corner: on a computer it appears when you point at the picture, and on a phone it's always there.
Right-click the picture, or long-press it on a phone, for its menu: Copy picture, Download, Open full size, Edit this picture, Make another and Change shape. Tap it to open the viewer, where the arrow keys or a swipe move through every picture in the chat.
Edit this picture puts it in the message box with a small "Editing this picture" chip, so you only have to say what should change. Make another asks for a fresh take and keeps the first one.
And when you download a picture, its file name says what it shows, like lighthouse-at-dusk-saanora.jpg, not a string of letters and numbers.
Change its shape
Made a square picture and now need a phone wallpaper? Open its menu, choose Change shape, and pick square, wide (16:9), tall (9:16), 4:3 or 3:4. Or just type "make it wide". Mark redraws the picture for the new frame instead of stretching the old one.
An edit that doesn't mention a shape keeps the picture's own, so a portrait poster stays a portrait poster.
Yours, and labelled
Your pictures are private: each one opens only for the account that made it. Delete the chat and its pictures go with it. Export your data and they come with you.
Every picture Saanora makes carries an invisible watermark, and a label in the file that says it was made with AI. We think that's the right default for pictures that can look real.
Where it works, and what it costs
Pictures work in your signed-in chats on the web. Temporary chats don't make them, since nothing there is saved, and rooms don't have pictures yet. Each picture uses your usage, the same 5-hour session and week as your messages, shown in Settings → Usage as a percentage.
On Free, Mark makes up to 3 pictures every 5 hours, and Settings → Usage shows how many this session has made. Lite and Spark have no count: pictures use your usage like everything else.
If a picture can't be made, a small card in its place says why, with the one useful next step when there is one: Try again, Sign in, See usage, or See plans.
