doubao-ai-image#

Description#

Free AI image generation using Doubao (豆包) web interface through browser automation. Mimics human interaction to generate and download images without API costs.

Usage Scenarios#

• Free AI image generation for personal or business use
• When API-based image generation is not available or too expensive
• Automated image creation for reports, presentations, or social media
• Integration with other workflows requiring visual content

Workflow#

1. Navigate to Doubao: Open https://www.doubao.com/chat/ in browser
2. Access Image Generation: Click on "图像生成" or "AI 创作" feature
3. Input Prompt: Enter detailed image description in the text box
4. Generate Images: Submit the prompt and wait for AI generation
5. Select Image: Choose from the generated options (typically 4 variations)
6. Capture Image: Use browser automation to screenshot the large preview image (ref="preview") to avoid download issues
7. Save Locally: Store image in /workspace/ai_images/doubao/ directory with timestamp
8. Deliver: Send image directly to Feishu chat or other specified destination

Key Features#

• Completely free AI image generation (no API costs)
• Human-like browser interaction to avoid bot detection
• Supports detailed prompts with style, composition, and quality specifications
• Automatic file management and delivery integration
• Works with Doubao's Seedream 4.5 model and various aspect ratios/styles

Technical Requirements#

• Browser automation capability with proper user agent
• Element targeting for precise screenshot capture (using ARIA refs)
• Image format handling (PNG, JPG, WebP)
• Error handling for generation failures or UI changes
• Wait mechanisms for AI generation completion
• Local file system access for image storage

Best Practices#

• Use specific, detailed prompts for better results
• Include style references when needed (e.g., "realistic", "cartoon", "anime")
• Specify aspect ratio if important for the use case
• Target the "preview" element (ref="preview") for clean screenshot capture
• Verify image quality and composition before delivery
• Handle cases where generation fails or produces unsuitable results
• Save images to standardized directory structure: /workspace/ai_images/doubao/YYYY-MM-DD/

Limitations#

• Dependent on Doubao web interface availability
• Subject to Doubao's usage limits and terms of service
• Download location may vary by system/browser configuration
• Generation time varies based on server load
• No guaranteed consistency in image quality or style

Integration Points#

• Can be combined with report generation skills (e.g., xiaoxiyouxi-5min-report)
• Suitable for avatar creation, concept visualization, or illustration needs
• Can feed into social media content pipelines
• Useful for rapid prototyping of visual concepts
