OpenAI Images
Overview
The OpenAI Image feature allows Twitch chat users to generate AI-powered images directly from chat commands. By simply typing a command, users can request an image based on a text prompt, which is then created and stored for easy sharing.
This feature is available only during live broadcasts and is designed to respect safety, moderation, and usage limits.
How to Use
Command Format
!openai image <your prompt>
Example
!openai image a futuristic city skyline at sunset
After entering this command:
The system checks if the broadcast is live.
It validates whether the user is eligible to request an image.
It ensures that the business account has not exceeded the daily image request limit.
A moderation filter scans your prompt for unsafe content.
If approved, an AI-generated image is created and a short URL is returned in chat.
Eligibility & Limits
Live Only: Image generation is not available if the stream is offline.
User Level: Some user levels may have limited access depending on business settings.
Daily Limit: Each account has a maximum number of image requests per day. Once the limit is reached, users will see a message asking them to try again later.
Moderation: Prompts containing unsafe or inappropriate content are blocked automatically.
Output
Once the image is generated:
A short URL is provided in chat for easy viewing and sharing.
Images are stored securely and accessible only via generated links.
Each image link expires after one week.
Safety & Moderation
All prompts undergo automated moderation to prevent unsafe content, ensuring that the feature is safe for public use. If a prompt is flagged, the user will receive an error message indicating that the request could not be processed.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Description | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
Request limit reached | The account has reached its daily image request cap | Try again later |
Stream offline | Images can only be generated during a live broadcast | Wait until the broadcast is live |
Unsafe content | Prompt contains content that violates safety policies | Adjust your prompt and try again |
Failed to generate image | There may be a temporary error with image generation | Retry the request later |
Notes
Each request is logged for monitoring and usage tracking.
Images are automatically stored and linked via short URLs to simplify sharing.
The feature leverages OpenAI’s image generation API to ensure high-quality outputs.
