MUST use when the user wants to RENDER or GENERATE an actual image from a description (not just craft prompt text). Triggers on "render an image", "render this", "generate image", "render image", "make an image of", "render the prompt", "render this prompt". Builds the prompt from what the user types (subject-agnostic, no built-in persona), optionally pulls a saved reference from the Library System, confirms cost, then calls the OpenAI gpt-image API and saves a PNG.
MUST use when the user wants to RENDER or GENERATE an actual video / MP4 from a description, or ANIMATE a local image. Triggers on "render a video", "generate video", "make a video", "create a video", "animate this", "animate this image", "bring this to life". Builds the motion prompt from what the user types (subject-agnostic, no built-in persona), optionally pulls a saved reference from the Library System, supports text-to-video and image-to-video, confirms cost (video is expensive), then calls the Seedance API (async submit/poll/download) and saves an MP4.
