Images and speech

Two commands that produce a file rather than a paragraph. Both are charged per generation rather than by length, and a failed generation costs nothing.

Generating images

?image a lighthouse at dusk, long exposure returns a picture. It arrives in the conversation like any other message, encrypted the same way, and you can save it from there.

On the standard tier this uses the built-in generator. With a Pro model selected you get the frontier generators instead.

Choosing a generator

?image models lists what is available with prices, and costs nothing. With a Pro model selected, ?image --model <name> <description> picks one: Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2, Imagen 4, FLUX 2 Max, FLUX 2 Pro, Seedream 5 Pro, GPT Image 2, Grok Imagine and Recraft v4 Pro.

They differ in what they are good at rather than in quality — text rendered inside the image, photographic realism, illustration, and how literally each takes a long prompt. If one misreads a description, another usually will not.

Speech

?speak <text> returns a spoken clip of up to 800 characters. Longer text is refused rather than truncated, so you never pay for half a sentence.

What they cost

Because these are flat per-generation charges, the length of your description does not change the price. See credits and pricing for how the two balances work.
