An AI-first visual editor using GPT-4o's GPT-image-1 model

In plain words

An AI-first visual editor that integrates OpenAI's GPT-4o image model directly into a creative canvas. Users can generate, edit, and remix images in one workspace rather than switching between ChatGPT and design tools. Built on the CE.SDK plugin system, it supports any multimodal model API and allows users to bring their own keys. The editor enables workflows like mixing multiple images and creating visual prompts through canvas annotations and references.

We embedded OpenAI’s gpt-image-1 API into our CreativeEditor SDK, enabling users to generate and refine images directly in their creative workflow, no tool switching. This brings multimodal AI into real-world design tasks with seamless prompting, editing, and visual iteration. We integrated OpenAI’s new gpt-image-1 API (from GPT-4o) directly into our fully functional visual editor, CreativeEditor SDK (CE.SDK) , enabling generation, editing, and refinement of images without ever leaving your creative workflow. Generate Images Use prompts to generate images from scratch. Generate Images from Visual Prompts Turn full compositions (images, text, and annotations) into fresh visual content. Just…from img.ly

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN! We’ve been experimenting with integrating multimodal models directly into creative workflows, and ended up building an AI-first image editor using OpenAI’s new `gpt-image-1` (from GPT-4o) inside our SDK. Instead of prompting in ChatGPT and pasting outputs into a design tool, this lets you generate, edit, and…

  GPT image editing, but for 3D models2025 · adamcad.com · ▲188

  Hey HN! I’m Zach one of the co-founders of Adam (https://www.adamcad.com). We're building AI-powered tools for CAD and 3D modeling [1]. We’ve recently been exploring a new way to bring GPT-style image editing directly into 3D model generation and are excited to showcase this in our web-app today. We’re calling it creative mode and are intrigued by the fun use cases this could create by making 3D generation more conversational! For example you can put a prompt in such as “an elephant” then follow it up by “have it ride a skateboard” and it preserves the context, identity and…

  A Dalle-3 and GPT4-Vision feedback loop2023 · dalle.party · ▲587

  I used to enjoy Translation Party, and over the weekend I realized that we can build the same feedback loop with DALLE-3 and GPT4-Vision. Start with a text prompt, let DALLE-3 generate an image, then GPT-4 Vision turns that image back into a text prompt, DALLE-3 creates another image, and so on. You need to bring your own OpenAI API key (costs about $0.10/run) Some prompts are very stable, others go wild. If you bias GPT4's prompting by telling it to "make it weird" you can get crazy results. Here's a few of my favorites: - Gnomes: https://dalle.party/?party=k4eeMQ6I -…

  Hey HN, I built a web tool that wraps the latest AI image generation models with a conversational interface. The main idea is you can iterate on images through natural dialogue instead of rewriting prompts from scratch each time. Key features I focused on: - Multi-turn editing (the AI remembers previous context) - Character/style consistency across multiple images - Multi-image fusion Not affiliated with OpenAI – the name is just a playful nod. Would love feedback from this community, especially on the UX and what features would be useful for technical users. Try it:…

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
