1. Overview
Image Generation turns a text prompt into a brand-new picture using Google’s Imagen models via the Gemini API. Describe what you want — a style, a subject, a mood — and it produces one or more images. Once connected, your agent can generate images from a prompt, request several at once, and choose an aspect ratio. Generated images are uploaded to UnleashX media storage and returned as links you can drop into a post, a doc, or a campaign. Connecting Image Generation to UnleashX means your agents can produce visuals on demand — no stock library, no design tool, no manual export.2. What you’ll need
Image Generation is built into UnleashX. There is no Google or Gemini account for you to create and no API key for you to manage.
- An active UnleashX account.
- The image-generation feature enabled on your workspace/plan.
- A clear text prompt describing the image you want.
- Permission to edit the agent (admin or editor role). Without it, ask a workspace admin to enable the feature.
3. Get your credentials
There are no credentials to create. Image Generation is platform-managed — UnleashX provisions and rotates the underlying Gemini key and handles media storage. You never see or handle an API key.
| Platform-managed setting | Plain-English reason it exists |
|---|---|
| Image model (+ fallbacks) | Controls image quality and auto-retries if a model is unavailable. |
| Default aspect ratio | Sets the default image shape (e.g. 1:1 square). |
| Gemini API key & media storage | Provisioned and rotated by UnleashX so images generate and save automatically. |

5. Available tools
| Tool | What it does | Changes data? |
|---|---|---|
| Image Created | Generate one or more images from a text prompt | ✏️ Yes |
| Generate Image | Generate images with Imagen via the Gemini API | ✏️ Yes |
| Get Info | Report Image MCP configuration and readiness | No |
The generate tools are marked ✏️ Yes because they create new image files and save them to UnleashX media storage. They do not modify or delete existing data. Image Created and Generate Image are equivalent entry points for the same generation flow.
6. Example usage
“Create a square image of a friendly robot waving, flat-illustration style.” → Runs Generate Image (or Image Created) with that prompt and a 1:1 aspect ratio, returning an image URL. “Give me three banner options for a summer sale, wide format.” → Runs the generation tool withnumber_of_images = 3 and a wide aspect ratio.
7. Permissions & data access
UnleashX can:- Send your prompt to the image model and generate images.
- Save the generated images to UnleashX media storage and return links.
- Generate images from content you don’t provide.
- Edit or delete images created elsewhere.
- Access your device or cloud storage on its own.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | What it means | How to fix it |
|---|---|---|
| ”prompt is required” | No text prompt was supplied | Provide a descriptive prompt |

9. Frequently asked questions
Are my images stored? Yes — generated images are uploaded to UnleashX media storage so you can use the returned link. Your prompt is used to generate them and isn’t retained as part of the integration. Do I need a Google or Gemini account? No. Image Generation is platform-managed — UnleashX provides and rotates the key. Can I generate more than one image at a time? Yes. Setnumber_of_images to request a batch.
What aspect ratios are supported?
Common shapes including square (1:1), portrait, and landscape. The default is square.
