Four ways to get these images
- In the Root app: add an Image Gen node, pick a GPT Image model, write the prompt and run it. The price shows before you run.
- From Claude: connect Root to Claude and ask for the image in the chat. Name GPT Image, or let Claude pick. Claude starts it on Root and it lands in your project.
- Inside ChatGPT: on a paid ChatGPT plan, connect Root in Developer mode and you can ask for images with Root's other image models too, such as Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5.0 Pro or FLUX.2 [pro].
- By API: send a prompt and a model id to Root's generations endpoint. The GPT Image page shows the request.
One account for every image model
The same credits pay for GPT Image and every other model on Root, so you can try a shot on GPT Image and its next take on another model, and keep both in the same project.
In the Root app, the price of every image is shown before it runs.
