Ingredients & Asset Management
Why It Matters
Great designs start with great assets. Instead of recreating your logo, product shots, or brand elements from scratch every time, ingredients let you build a reusable library that works across all your campaigns.
The bottom line: Upload once, use everywhere. Transform your brand assets into "ingredients" that can be mixed into any design with a simple prompt.
What Are Ingredients?
Ingredients are images you can use to create new designs. Think of them as your creative building blocks—logos, product shots, textures, models, or any visual element you want to incorporate into AI-generated content.
The concept: Attach a logo as an ingredient and say "Put my logo on a t-shirt mockup." The AI understands both your text prompt and your visual ingredients to create exactly what you need.
