### **Key Capabilities**

Chatly’s conversational AI image generation feature supports:

* **Image Generation:** Create new images from text prompts.
* **Image Editing:** Edit your own images.
* **Reference Images:** Attach up multiple reference images per request for better results.
* **Aspect Ratios:** Control image dimensions per model: 1:1, 3:4, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16.
* **Conversational Workflow:** Refine results by chatting naturally with the image agent.
* **Variations:** Each generation produces 2 images for easy comparison.
* **Enhancement Tools:** Upscale and Background Removal (additional token costs).
* **Image Manual Editing Options:** users can apply adjustments/filters to their images in full view including tint, saturation, highlights, exposure etc.

### **Token Usage**

* Token consumption depends on the **model** used
* Each request generates 2 images → **tokens per image × 2**
* Example: If one image = 20 tokens, the request = 40 tokens
