Brainstorm Your Coloring Book with AI

The Brainstorm tab is a five-question form. Your answers become part of every image prompt the app builds later, so specific answers here directly improve every generated page.

The 5 Key Questions

1. “Who is your target audience?” — e.g., Children aged 5-10, adults seeking stress relief. This drives line thickness and complexity downstream.
2. “What theme or concept would you like to create?” — e.g., Forest animals, sea creatures, geometric patterns.
3. “What level of difficulty and detail are you planning?” — e.g., Beginner level - thick lines, large coloring spaces.
4. “What style do you prefer for the coloring designs?” — e.g., Cute cartoon style, detailed botanical art style.
5. “Do you have any unique features or special concepts?” — e.g., Motivational quotes on each page, frame-ready designs. Optional, but this is where books differentiate themselves.

Every field supports # mentions: type # to reference a named character from your Image Pool — it’s inserted as {Name}.

The Brainstorm AI Assistant

The chat panel on the left (“Brainstorm AI Assistant”) is there so you never face a blank form:

• Ask for ideas — “What are popular themes for kids?”, “Suggest ideas for animals”.
• Let it fill the form — when the assistant proposes a direction you like, it can write the answers straight into the five fields; you’ll see them populate automatically.
• Attach images — drop an image into the chat (paperclip button or drag & drop) to discuss it; the assistant can even suggest cropping characters out of it into your Image Pool.
• Pick the chat model — the dropdown in the chat header selects which text model answers (e.g., a fast/balanced/strong tier from your provider). Chat usage is billed by your provider like any other text API call — orders of magnitude cheaper than image generation.
• Clear Chat — the reset button clears the current conversation (with a confirmation) without touching your form or files.

The Send button stays disabled until an API key is configured and a project is open. Shift+Enter inserts a newline; Enter sends.
