Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Meme Generator tool:

  1. Provide the images and describe the humor angle or message for each.
  2. Ask ChatGPT to draft the meme text for each image before generating.
  3. Generate all memes using from_image with the drafted text.
  4. Ask ChatGPT to rank the batch by engagement potential and flag any that feel forced.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Meme Generator tool
Use meme-generator to turn these 4 product launch screenshots into memes for our post-launch social content. Each one should poke fun at a different part of the launch week chaos. Draft the funniest text for each photo before generating, then rank them by which will perform best.

Tips

  • Ask ChatGPT to draft several text options per image before choosing one — the first idea is rarely the funniest.
  • Flag any meme that relies on inside knowledge your audience may not have — external audiences should get the joke too.
  • Check that brand elements are not obscured by the meme text before posting.
