DALL·E integration for chatbots and AI agents

‍About this integration

Our DALL·E integration lets your chatbots generate images on demand. By connecting a chatbot to DALL·E, builders can allow users to request custom images, illustrations, or visual content directly in a conversation.

The integration works by sending a user’s text prompt from the chatbot to DALL·E, which returns an AI-generated image. This makes it possible to add creativity and visual outputs to chatbot interactions without leaving the chat.

With this setup, chatbots can support use cases like generating marketing visuals, creating product mockups, or simply letting users experiment with AI-generated art in real time.

How can I automate product mockups or design previews with a chatbot?

‍Yes. Chatbots can collect customer-specific inputs (like name, preferences, or product type) and insert them into the DALL·E prompt to generate a unique, tailored image.

How do I manage the costs of image generation when running it through a chatbot?

‍Set rules in the chatbot to limit how many images a user can generate or restrict generation to certain triggers (e.g., after signup). You can also cap daily or monthly API calls to control spending.
