AI Workflow #1: AI as My Art Director

A practical, AI first, multi-tool workflow for creating unique and compelling blog visuals.

Every blog post needs a good image, but I’m no graphic designer. Staring at a wall of text, knowing it needs a visual spark, used to be a point of friction in my writing process. Now, it’s one of my favorite parts.

The difference? I now work with an AI art director.

I’m often asked about my personal AI-powered workflows. The truth is, I use AI in nearly everything I do, but the real impact comes from small, strategic applications. The secret isn’t one magic app; it’s a fluid workflow that hops between a few key tools to get the job done.

This post is the first in a series sharing some of these workflows. For this one, my primary toolkit includes:

• Gemini App: For conversational brainstorming and text analysis.

• Google AI Studio: For powerful image generation and refinement.
