Starting from the Genius.AI Mid-November update, it is possible to train an AI in creating images of yourself, your brand spokeperson or your loved ones.
It is important to understand that in order to create a Custom AI that is able to generate good-looking images of someone, there are a few requirements.
Requirements
- Make sure to have between 10-30 images of the subject you want the AI to learn how to make images of. Make sure these images only feature the subject, no group photos (not even with another subject more than the one you wish to train the AI on), no blurry images - the photos can be in different poses and positions.
- Your Genius.AI account needs to have Training Credits available. A single AI training takes 1 credit. You will be able to purchase Training Credits directly from the Genius.AI interface (we will cover this later!)
- If you are using someone else's photos to train the AI - Genius.AI is not responsible for any AI trained with images you did not get explicit permission to use. If you are using images of your loved ones, hated ones or anyone that is not you make sure you have permission to use the images specifically to train an AI.

Training the AI on your Images
Let's get started on training the AI on the subject you've selected!
- First of all, head over to "Media Creation" -> "The Studio" from the left side of your Genius sidebar.
2. Head over to the dropdown "I want to..." -> "Create images featuring myself/my brand", during the initial phase of release, you will also have a small popup allowing you to go directly in the relevant section!
3. You will be presented with two choices:
- Train AI on my Photos - This is the option we are going to click first, it allows you to train an AI on any subject as long as you are meeting the requirements on the first paragraph!
- Generate Images - We will use this option later, once we have trained the AI!
Click on "Train AI on my Photos"
4. On this section, start by naming your AI, we suggest you to give it a descriptive name (e.g. myself if the AI is going to generate photos of yourself). You can also scroll down to see some Tips for Best Results, just in case you want more reassurance you are going to select the right images!
5. Once you have named your AI and looked at our Dos and Don'ts you can now click on "Drag & Drop 10-30 images here" to select the images you want to pick. This will open your Phone's gallery if you are doing this from a phone. You can also drag and drop the images from your computer directly in the box and Genius.AI will proceed with the upload.
6. Review the images you have selected, remove any you might not want by clicking "X" on the top-right of the image.
The counter at the bottom will also show you how many images you have uploaded, please make sure you have at least 10 images in order for the "Create my AI!" button to turn on.
Let's get Training!
Once you have selected at least 10 images (we suggest you to select all 30 for the best results, but we did get quite good results on 10-15 photos as well!)
You can now click "Create my AI!"
Please note that creating your own AI, requires a training credit. A popup will open guiding you through the purchase process if you have no credits left. (This can be seen right below the button, as seen on the screenshot below).
Once your purchase is over, click "Create my AI!" again and the system will inform you that the training has started.
The training might take between 20 to 30 minutes. Go out for a walk, a coffee or do something else! You will receive an email when the process is over, or you can check the status using the next steps!
Generate Images using your newly trained AI
- Go to the Studio following the same steps as above (on the left sidebar, click "Media Creation" -> The Studio"), or if you are going back from the previous step, you can simply hit "Go Back" on the AI Training creation.
- Select "I want to generate images featuring myself/my brand"
- Now select the option "Generate Images" on the right. (previously you would have clicked the left one to train your AI!)
4. Select the AI you wish to use to generate Images, please note that if your current AI is training it will show up in the dropdown as "Training..." just wait for the process to finish.
5. Now write the prompt, make sure to use the word "SUBJECT" to refer to the subject that the AI was trained on.
For example "SUBJECT wearing a red hat".
You can also customize the aspect ratio (defaults to Portrait!)
Please keep in mind that from time to time - the AI might hallucinate and not give you the result you want - in which case, simply perform a generation again!
You can generate up to 20 images monthly as part of your Subscription, you can buy more Custom Image Creation directly from the Platform.
