Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the AI Avatar Creator tool:

  1. Provide the source photo and describe the desired visual identity — playful, professional, or editorial.
  2. Run `avatar_style` with `ai-avatar-creator` to generate the stylized avatar.
  3. Ask ChatGPT to describe the style characteristics applied so you can replicate it for other community members.
  4. Export the avatar with a concise style guide note for use across your platforms.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the AI Avatar Creator tool
Use ai-avatar-creator to turn this photo into a stylized cartoon avatar with bold outlines, a muted colour palette, and a slight retro feel. Return the result, describe the style settings, and suggest how to keep this consistent for a 10-person team.

Tips

  • Ask ChatGPT to write a 3-line style brief after the first output — this becomes your consistency guide.
  • Flat or illustrated styles tend to resize better for small profile thumbnails than detailed painterly ones.
  • For community avatar packs, run one test member first, confirm the style, then batch the rest.
