AI Plugins Posts

We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. “What is the good prompt for X?”, “How to achieve X with Y generator?”

There are guides, tutorials, and resources on the internet that can be applied when prompting in the AI tools in Perchance.

We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

Here are some links/posts/guides/answers to questions for the AI Tools on Perchance:

• Prompting Guide for Text-to-Image Plugin - this is specifically for prompting in text-to-image-plugin, it has examples that you can remix to your needs.
