Tips for better image generation with Perplexity on WhatsApp

Want to get the most out of Perplexity AI’s image generation on WhatsApp? Here are a few tips to help you craft better prompts and get more relevant results:

• Add style or setting cues: Ask for styles like “watercolor,” “minimalist,” or “pixel art”
  • Example: “Create an image of a beach in pastel tones with retro filters”

Use follow-up questions

• If the first image isn’t quite right, refine it by saying “make it more colorful” or “add a sunset background” in the same WhatsApp chat

Ask for multiple options

• You can say, “generate three different versions of a neon-lit city street at night” to get variation. But note that Perplexity can only send one image at a time as a response to your prompt

Specify format or purpose

• Mention if it’s for a social post, slide, or WhatsApp status to allow the AI assistant to better understand the layout you need

Limitations of Using Perplexity AI for Images on WhatsApp

It’s exciting to generate images with Perplexity AI right inside WhatsApp, but a few limitations might slow you down.

• WhatsApp’s character limit can shorten prompts or responses, which sometimes affects the detail or clarity of your image request
• Perplexity cannot create charts, infographics, or layered visual assets, so it is limited to single-frame, standalone images
• Without clear style or subject inputs, the images may feel generic or lack creative variation
• You can’t control resolution, image size, or file format, which may limit how you use the images in design projects
• For niche or technical queries, image accuracy may drop since Perplexity relies on general web sources rather than specialized databases

Using to Streamline Your AI Image Projects

Disjointed tools kill momentum.

When your team’s creative ideas live in one tool, feedback in another, and tasks in yet another, projects stall, you lose track of context, deadlines get pushed, and collaboration becomes reactive instead of proactive.

Brainstorm, generate, and share images with Whiteboards and Brain

“Generate an image of a smartwatch floating over a glowing city skyline at night.”

Brain doesn’t just generate images. It connects to your docs, tasks, and communication, letting you ask questions based on your workspace data, such as, “What’s the status of our homepage visuals?” or “Summarize all image feedback from this week’s review.”

Here’s a quick video on how you can use Brain from ideation to execution for your campaign:

Want to discuss the generated images in further detail? Open Chat alongside your idea board. 

You and your designer can instantly review the image, provide feedback via comments, and even convert these comments into assignable tasks. It’s as simple as using Perplexity AI on WhatsApp, but with the entire creative workflow wrapped around it.

Bring AI Images into the project workflow with Tasks

Once you’ve generated your image with Perplexity AI, simply upload it to the related task in for flawless design project management.

If feedback comes in, comments stay connected to the image.

With Tasks, there is no confusion, no duplication, and no wondering, “Which version are we using?”

Bring consistency to your work with AI Agents

As your AI image projects scale, so does the need for consistency. That’s where Autopilot Agents come in, providing premium features to enhance your workflow.

These AI-powered agents operate inside your workspace, performing smart actions based on triggers. 📌 For example:

• When someone uploads a Perplexity-generated image to a task, an Autopilot Agent can auto-tag the task as “Ready for Review” and assign it to the creative lead
• After team members leave comments in a Chat thread, the Agent can summarize the feedback and log it as a checklist inside the image task
• When you create a new AI art prompt doc, it can automatically be linked to the corresponding campaign folder and shared with collaborators

Store and reuse your AI prompts using Docs

Instead of letting great image prompts disappear into your WhatsApp history, save them in a shared Doc.

For example, if your campaign uses a consistent visual style, like “flat design icons of remote teams working,” you can build a prompt library around it that your team can pull from anytime.

You can even assign a task: “Update holiday promo image using last year’s prompt, but with this year’s branding.”

👀 Fun Fact: You can also save (and reuse) individual or private prompts for yourself right within Brain. Go to Saved prompts and click on Add prompt. Then type in your instructions and make it private.
