A few months ago, I added a DALL-E AI-image generator to SlideMagic. AI-generated images can be great for presentations:

• You can get very precise in defining what you want to see, much more so than browsing endless stock images search results that are not exactly right

• You can make images look visually consistent across a presentation

The DALL-E engine is not accurate enough though. Especially when it comes to humans/faces. Midjourney is doing a far better job at this but is not (yet) providing 3rd party API access to its engine, the only way to get images out is via a web-based interface.

I am starting to look into deploying the same open source models that are actually the basis of Midjourney, directly into SlideMagic. You can see the results below and they look very promising. More to come.
