3.1 How to Use Gemini AI to Create an Article?

Regardless of write an article or generate an image, the key lies in the prompts. Here we use an example and then list out the prompts and tips to help you better understand prompts.

For instance, we give a prompt to Gemini with this description - "Write a 1000-word blog post on the benefits of new energy electric vehicle, targeting homeowners, with a positive and informative tone.". Seconds later, Gemini AI will generate drafts. And you can choose from 3 drafts it offers.

Gemini AI create text content

Continue asking the below questions to refine the content and suggest relevant sources if needed.

  • Tell Gemini what type of article you want to make: expository, persuasive, narrative, descriptive or creative.
  • Topic of the script. Or give it your post keywords.
  • The article words, 1000 words, 2000 words or more.
  • Tone of voice: formal, informal, oral, slang or humorous, witty or rational, intrigue or informative.
  • Target audience: homeowner, businessman, educator, student, vlogger, etc.
  • Post format: text, chart, table, mind mapping, photo, etc.
  • Additional details, notes, etc.

Additionally, there are more tips for writing with Gemini.

  • Provide context: If your topic is complex, offer background information to help Bard understand your intent.
  • Refine your prompts: The more specific you are, the better the results. Experiment with different phrasing to achieve the desired outcome.
  • Fact-check and edit: Gemeni's output is a starting point, not a finished product. Verify the accuracy of information and edit for clarity, flow, and your unique voice.
  • Use examples: If you're unsure how to phrase your prompt, try giving an example of the desired output. This can help Gemini understand the style and format you're looking for.
  • Break down complex tasks: If your request involves multiple steps, break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This will make it easier for Gemini to follow your instructions.
  • Provide feedback: Let Gemini know how it's doing! Your feedback helps it learn and improve its ability to understand and respond to your prompts.

3.2 How to Use Gemini AI to Generate a Photo?

In the AI-image creation field, there is still a narrow gap between Gemini AI and Midjourney. Midjournery, primarily focused on artistic image generation with an emphasis on creativity and diverse styles, offers an expansive library of artistic styles and filters to create unique and visually appealing images. Gemini AI, primarily focused on large language models and multimodal tasks (combining text and other formats), its image generation capabilities are still in its infancy, but might excel in areas like conceptual art (generating images based on complex ideas or descriptions), text-to-image with high fidelity (creating realistic images that closely match textual descriptions).

In other words, the ordinary image creation is what Gemini AI excels in. Artistic image generation is what Midjourney specializes in. Thus, keep in mind with the below tips while using Gemini AI to generate an image:

1. Clarity and Specificity

  • Be clear about the subject: Instead of just saying "dog," specify the breed, pose, or activity (e.g., "an adorable teddy dog, chasing a pink balloon on the green lawn").
  • Gemini AI create a dog image
  • Describe the environment: Mention details like the time of day, location (lawn, park, beach, house), and weather (sunny, rainy, snowy).
  • Specify the style (optional): If you have a preference for artistic style (realistic, cartoon, pixel art), include that in your prompt.
  • Gemini AI create a dog image in realistic style

2. Use Keywords and References

  • Keywords can guide the AI: Include relevant keywords that describe the overall feel or specific elements (e.g., "vibrant colors," "vintage aesthetic," "lush greenery").
  • Use reference images (for some tools): Some AI art tools allow uploading reference images to guide the generation process. This can be helpful for specific details or desired styles.
  • Examples of good prompts: A photorealistic image of a majestic Siberian Husky with piercing blue eyes, standing on a snowy mountain peak overlooking a frozen lake at sunrise; a pixel art animation of a playful Shiba Inu puppy jumping over colorful mushrooms in a magical forest.

3. Additional Tips

  • Start simple: If you're new to AI image generation, begin with straightforward prompts and gradually add complexity.
  • Keep it concise: While details are important, avoid excessively long prompts that might overwhelm the AI.
  • Experiment and refine: Don't be afraid to experiment with different prompts and phrasing. You can refine your prompt based on the generated images to get closer to your desired outcome.

By following these tips, you can create effective prompts that will help AI tools generate images that match your vision.
