Image Gen Tab Settings in SheetXAI

Overview

The Image Gen tab in SheetXAI settings configures the AI model used specifically for generating images through SAI formulas. This dedicated setting allows you to select the optimal model for creating visual content directly in your spreadsheet.

Key Information

Purpose

The Image Gen tab specifies which AI model will handle image generation requests in your spreadsheet. This separate configuration ensures you can optimize for image quality, cost, and speed independently from your text-based AI operations.

Recommended Model

We highly recommend using Runware's Flux models for image generation. These models offer:

• Cost-effective image generation
• Faster response times compared to alternatives
• Quality results for most common image generation needs
• Excellent value for spreadsheet-based image creation

How to Use Image Generation in SAI Formulas

To generate images in your spreadsheet, you must use a specific prefix in your SAI formula:

=SAI("IMAGEGEN Create a professional logo with a blue mountain and sun")

Important: Image generation will only work when your SAI formula instruction starts with the IMAGEGEN keyword.

Common Use Cases

• Creating product images for catalogs
• Generating custom icons or visual elements
• Creating visual representations of data concepts
• Designing mockups or visual aids
• Producing illustrations for presentations or reports

How to Configure

1. Navigate to the Settings section in the SheetXAI sidebar
2. Select the Image Gen tab
3. Choose your preferred image generation provider (Runware recommended)
4. Select the specific model you want to use (Flux models recommended)
5. Ensure your API key is properly configured for the selected provider
6. Click Save to apply your changes

Example Formulas

=SAI("IMAGEGEN Create a minimalist icon of a house")
=SAI("IMAGEGEN Generate a realistic photo of a beach sunset")
=SAI("IMAGEGEN Design a professional business card with blue and gray colors")

Each of these formulas will invoke your configured Image Gen model to create the requested visual content directly in your spreadsheet.

Remember that image generation will only activate when your formula instruction begins with the IMAGEGEN keyword - all other instructions will be processed by your default Content models.
