How to Generate Featured Images using OpenAI in Feedzy? ​

Feedzy RSS Feeds can automatically generate featured images for imported posts using OpenAI, saving you from manually sourcing visuals.

📝 Note: The Featured Image generation feature, now enhanced with custom prompts, is part of the Feed To Post import method in Feedzy RSS Feeds. This feature is available in the Developer and Agency plans.

Requirements: ​

Feedzy Pro powers featured image generation with one of two AI setups:

  • Managed AI by Themeisle: Enable Managed AI by Themeisle under Feedzy > Settings to use Feedzy's AI credits without adding your own API key. New installations have this enabled by default. See How to use Themeisle-managed AI and AI Quota in Feedzy for details.
  • Your own OpenAI API key (when Managed AI is disabled): Generate a key on the OpenAI API keys page, and make sure your OpenAI account has API access with billing or credits enabled. Follow this guide for assistance. A ChatGPT subscription on its own does not provide API access.

To use your own key, navigate to Feedzy > Integrations and open the OpenAI tab. Paste the key into the corresponding field, then validate the connection and save the settings. If Manage AI by Themeisle is enabled, Feedzy uses the managed credits instead of any key you add here, so disable it first if you want to use your own OpenAI account.

Using the Feature ​

1. In the Import wizard, open the Map Content tab.

2. In the Featured Image field, click on the ➕ sign and select the Item Image tag.

3. Click on the settings icon next to the Item Image, and in the Actions modal, click on Add new.

Add New Action

4. From the dropdown, select the action called "Generate with OpenAI".

5. Use the toggle to specify if the image generation should occur for all posts or only where the image is missing.

6. If you are using your own OpenAI API key, select the image generation model from the Choose Model dropdown. This option is hidden when Manage AI by Themeisle is enabled, because Feedzy then uses Themeisle-managed AI credits instead of your own key.

7. In the Additional Prompt field, provide specific instructions for generating the image, such as style or details to match the post content. For example:

  • "Generate realistic images related to sports"
  • "Create a vibrant, artistic representations"
  • "Generate a comic-style illustrations"

8. Click on Save Actions.

Action-Supporting Tags ​

  • [#item_image]

Note: The enhanced prompts allow users to generate more specific and visually engaging images aligned with the content's purpose.
