Image Generation in PraisonAI allows you to create high-quality images using natural language descriptions. The Image Agent supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations, making it flexible for various use cases.

## Quick Start

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Code">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Install Package">
        First, install the PraisonAI Agents package with LLM support:
        ```bash
        pip install "praisonaiagents[llm]"
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Set API Key">
        Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:
        ```bash
        export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create Agent">
        Create a new file `image_gen.py` with the basic setup:
        ```python
        from praisonaiagents.agent.image_agent import ImageAgent

        # Create an image agent
        agent = ImageAgent(
            llm="dall-e-3",
            verbose=True
        )

        # Generate an image
        result = agent.chat("A cute baby sea otter playing with a laptop")
        print("Image generation result:", result)
        ```
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Async">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Install Package">
        First, install the PraisonAI Agents package with LLM support:
        ```bash
        pip install "praisonaiagents[llm]"
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Set API Key">
        Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:
        ```bash
        export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create Async Agent">
        Create a new file `image_gen_async.py` with the async setup:
        ```python
        import asyncio
        from praisonaiagents import ImageAgent

        async def main():
            agent = ImageAgent(
                name="ImageCreator",
                llm="dall-e-3",
                style="natural"
            )

            result = await agent.achat("A cute baby sea otter playing with a laptop")
            print(f"Image generation result: {result}")

        if __name__ == "__main__":
            asyncio.run(main())
        ```
      </Step>
    </Steps>
