Add the image generator capability to your agent

The image generator capability enables declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot to generate images based on user prompts. Image generator uses the existing Designer functionality to create visually appealing and contextually relevant graphics, and includes the following features:

• Multiple image generation: For each user prompt, the agent generates four images.
• Interactive image options: Users can select each generated image to view it in full size. They can download, copy, or view content credentials for the full-size image. They can also select the side arrow to scroll through the four images.
• Image modification: Users can follow up with subsequent prompts to modify the original images without losing context. For example, first prompt: "Create a photo of a happy puppy running around in a yard." Second prompt: "Include a tennis ball."
• Feedback mechanism: Users can provide feedback on the generated images by giving a thumbs up or thumbs down. This feedback helps improve the quality of future image generations.
• Clipboard and sharing: Users can copy the generated images to their clipboard to paste into other applications, or they can share the generated images directly from the interface.

The image generator capability is available to Copilot Chat users with no metered usage or Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
