A closer look at Brix image generation

A visual can make a product idea easier to discuss. Ask Brix for an image directly in a public post’s comments, describe what it should show, and use the attached result as a starting point for the conversation.

Image requests are available through the Growth and Scale comment assistant. Brix considers the post’s context alongside your request, so the visual can respond to the work people are already discussing.

Make it useful

Give the image a clear purpose

Connect the request to the post: show a workflow, illustrate a concept, or explore a launch graphic. Other readers can see why you asked and respond to the visual in the same discussion.

From idea to action

How to get started

  1. Choose a public post

    Find the product update or discussion that supplies useful context for the image.

  2. Mention Brix and describe the visual

    Include @brix in a comment and ask for an image. State the subject, purpose, style, and any exact text you want included.

  3. Review the generated reply

    Open the attached image and inspect its details. Use the conversation to discuss what communicates the idea well and what still needs refinement.

Find your starting point

Make an idea easier to discuss

Ask for a visual when words alone leave the concept unclear. An illustration can introduce a product idea, while a diagram or mockup can give a discussion something concrete to respond to.

An example to adapt

Example: explore a launch graphic

Under a product update, ask @brix for a simple launch illustration with your product’s colors and a short headline. Inspect the returned image and ask fellow founders whether it communicates the intended benefit.

Make the most of it

Write a brief with a clear focus

Describe one main subject and keep requested text short. Check the image for inaccurate details or invented claims before using it in a product announcement.

Good questions, clear answers
