OpenAI's ChatGPT has levelled up - big time. Not only can it generate detailed and realistic images from text prompts, but it can now also understand and interpret the content within images.

Want a clean, studio-style shot? A vibrant lifestyle visual? A meme-style ad for social? Just describe what you’re after in plain English, and ChatGPT will generate high-quality statics ready for your campaigns.

This makes the creative process incredibly fast and user-friendly. In under 10 minutes, you could go from raw product image to a fully fleshed-out ad - designed, refined, and ready to launch across your marketing channels with BlendAI. Go ahead, I’ll start the timer. ⏱️
