AI Featured Image
This module automatically generates featured images for your content using AI. When a new node is created, it uses the node's title and body to ask an AI service to create a unique image, which is then automatically assigned as the featured image. This is useful for blogs, news sites, and other content-rich websites to visually enhance posts without manual effort.
AI Featured Image is a Drupal 11 module that automatically generates featured images for new nodes using artificial intelligence. Leveraging the DALL·E API (OpenAI), it creates a unique image based on the node's title and content, and automatically assigns it to the configured image field.
Ideal for news sites, blogs, government portals, or any site that needs to visually enrich its content without relying on a designer.
Key Features
- Per content type configuration: enable automatic image generation only for the bundles you select.
- Configurable image field: specify the field where the generated image will be stored.
- Custom prompt: define a template to describe what the AI should generate (e.g., Header about: [title] - [body]).
- Placeholder replacement: automatically replaces [title], [body], and other fields.
- Integration with DALL·E (OpenAI): directly calls the API to generate the image.
- Automatic storage: the image is saved in public://ai_images/ as a File entity.
