Reads prompts from a spreadsheet, generates an image for each one with AI, and saves them to Google Drive.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each prompt row.

The problem it solves

Generating a batch of AI images one at a time is slow and easy to lose track of. You end up manually copying prompts, downloading images, and renaming files instead of focusing on the creative work.

Who it fits

Marketing and content teams who need to generate many AI images from a list of prompts.

How it works

  1. The automation reads new prompts from a Google Sheet that don't have an image yet.
  2. Each prompt is sent to an AI image generator to create the image.
  3. The finished image is uploaded to a folder in Google Drive.
  4. The sheet is updated with the result and timestamp, or an error note if something went wrong.
What you get

Images generated from your prompt list

You get a finished image for every prompt on your list, saved and organized in Drive automatically.

What you get

A folder of AI-generated images in Google Drive with a Google Sheet log of every prompt processed.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an API key for the image generation service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
