Multimodal Image Analysis

Let users ask questions about screenshots, photos, charts, and interface images.

involved AI Content

What it adds

Image input on AI conversations, with safe downscaling, grounded answers, and defined retention of derived copies.

What your agent is told to do

5
  1. 1

    Prepare images before they are sent: correct orientation, strip location and camera metadata, and downscale to the smallest size that still keeps small text and fine detail legible.

  2. 2

    Require the answer to distinguish what is visible in the image from what is inferred, and to say when the image is too low in quality to support a conclusion.

  3. 3

    Label and reference images explicitly when more than one is attached, so a question about the second chart is not answered from the first.

  4. 4

    Refuse identity claims and inferences about protected or sensitive attributes from a person's appearance, and define this refusal in the app rather than relying on the provider to enforce it.

  5. 5

    AI Chat Attachments owns upload, storage, scoping, and retention. This entry owns preparation and interpretation. Do not build a separate upload path for images.

Edge cases it handles

8
  • Aggressive downscaling destroys exactly what users most often ask about: small interface text, axis labels, and error messages. Size against legibility, and offer a region crop rather than degrading the whole image.
  • Questions inviting the model to identify a person or infer their age, ethnicity, health, or beliefs from a photograph must be refused with an explanation, not answered with a hedged guess.
  • An answer that mixes what is on the pixels with what the model assumes is unfalsifiable. Require visible evidence to be stated separately from interpretation.
  • With several images attached, an unlabelled reference is ambiguous. Number or name them in both the prompt and the answer so the user can tell which one is being described.
  • Uploaded images and every derived copy, including thumbnails, downscaled versions, and cached crops, must inherit the conversation's access scope and be deleted on the same schedule as the original.
  • Images containing credentials, personal documents, or payment details will be uploaded by users who did not think about it. Warn where it is plausible and never log image content or derived text into general application logs.
  • Animated, multi-page, and very large images need a defined handling rule rather than an unhandled failure.
  • When image input is unavailable, the feature must say so and fall back to text-only conversation rather than accepting the upload and ignoring it.

Definition of done

9
  • Images are reoriented, stripped of location and camera metadata, and downscaled without losing small text legibility.
  • Answers separate what is visible in the image from what is inferred and say when the image is insufficient.
  • Identity claims and sensitive-attribute inferences are refused with an explanation.
  • Multiple images are labelled and referenced unambiguously in both the request and the answer.
  • Derived copies inherit the conversation's access scope and are deleted with the original.
  • Image content and extracted text never appear in general application logs.
  • Unavailable image support degrades to text-only with a clear message rather than a silent no-op.
  • The feature matches the existing design system.
  • No existing functionality is broken.

  2. 2

    Give it to your AI

    Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Lovable — whatever you build with.

  3. 3

    It inspects, then implements

    Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.

Works with your stack

These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
