AI Design Tool
Q: How does the AI design tool work?
A: The AI design tool uses machine learning algorithms to generate unique designs based on your input. You can provide text prompts to guide the AI in creating your design.
Q: Are there any free design attempts available?
A: Users may be granted free design attempts with the AI Tool. The number of free attempts, if any, can vary based on current promotions or account status. Check your account or our current offers for information on available free attempts.
Q: What happens after I use my free design attempts?
A: After exhausting your free attempts, you'll need to create an account and purchase design tokens to continue using the AI Tool.
Q: What's the average waiting time for design generation?
A: The average waiting time is approximately 5 seconds per specified placement. For example, if you've specified three placements in your design, the total waiting time would be around 15 seconds.
Q: Can I use multiple design tokens at once?
A: No, each design generation uses one design token, regardless of the number of placements. If you want to generate multiple designs, you'll need to use one token per generation.
Q: Why do I get different results with the same prompt?
A: The AI design tool incorporates elements of randomness to ensure originality and creativity in each generation. This means that even with the same input, you may receive different outputs. This feature allows you to explore various interpretations and styles for your design concept.
Q: Can I recreate a specific design I generated earlier?
A: While you can't exactly recreate a previous design due to the tool's random nature, you can try to get similar results by using the same prompt and adjusting it based on the elements you liked in the original design. We recommend saving designs you particularly like for future reference.
Q: Can I claim copyright on AI-generated designs?
A: No, you may not claim copyright or trademark rights in AI-Generated Designs. However, you are granted a license to use the designs for personal or non-commercial purposes, subject to certain restrictions.
Q: How can I write effective prompts for the AI design tool?
To write effective prompts for our AI design tool, consider the following tips:
• Be specific: Clearly describe the elements you want in your design, including colors, styles, and themes.
• Use descriptive language: Instead of generic terms, use vivid adjectives to convey the mood and aesthetic you're aiming for.
• Provide context: Mention the intended use or audience for the design to guide the AI's output.
• Experiment with different phrasings: If you're not satisfied with the results, try rephrasing your prompt or breaking it down into simpler components.
• Start general, then refine: Begin with a broader concept, then use subsequent prompts to refine and add details to the design.
Remember, the more practice you have with the tool, the better you'll become at crafting prompts that yield the desired results.
Business Model and Pricing
Q: How does your business model work with design tokens?
Our business model is designed to provide value to our customers while allowing them to explore various design options. Here's how it works:
1. Free attempts: Every user may be given free design generation attempts.
2. Design tokens: After using the free attempts, you can purchase design tokens to continue generating designs.
3. Token usage: Each token allows you to generate one design using our AI Tool.
4. Token validity: Tokens are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Q: Why do design tokens have a cost?
A: The cost of design tokens reflects the expenses associated with using advanced AI image generation technology. We partner with premium third-party providers to ensure high-quality, unique designs for our customers. These services are computationally intensive and come at a significant cost, which is partially offset by the token system.
Q: How do I purchase design tokens?
A: Design tokens can be purchased individually through your account dashboard. You can buy as many or as few as you need for your design projects.
Q: What happens to my unused tokens?
A: Unused tokens remain valid in your account for 1 year from the date of purchase. After this period, they will expire and cannot be used for design generations.
Q: Can I get a refund for unused tokens?
A: We do not offer refunds for unused tokens.
