Critical Rules

1. Image URLs must be HTTPS with extension — .jpg, .png, .gif, .webp
2. Style transfer — provide ALL images in array, reference by position in prompt
3. I2V requires image upload — upload to storage first, use public URL
4. generateObject schema must be type: "object" — wrap arrays inside object
5. System prompts must be domain-specific — never use "You are a helpful assistant"

AI Phone Calls

# Outbound call with custom prompt
blink ai call [phone] --prompt "You are a scheduling assistant. Confirm the appointment."

# With voice selection
blink ai call [phone] --prompt "Remind about meeting" --voice nova
