Build a character prompt

The Character Builder in Workroom's Picture Lab turns visual attribute selections into a ready-to-use AI image generation prompt. Pick the traits — the builder assembles the character description for you.

Open the Character Builder

Click the Prompt Generator button (sparkle icon) at the bottom-right of the prompt area. The builder panel opens alongside the generation view.

Configure your character

Work through the fields — Gender, Age, Origin, Body Type, Hair Type, Hair Color, Background, Pose, Lighting, Lens Type, and Camera Angle. Each selection adds a token to the prompt preview at the bottom of the panel. You can select multiple options per field where available.

Apply and generate

Click Close to close the panel. The assembled character description appears in the generation textarea — refine it or use it as-is, then click Generate.

Editing the prompt after closing the builder and then reopening it triggers a warning: the textarea text will be reset to the builder's current selections. The builder does not preserve manual edits.

Character image generated from the assembled prompt

The builder produces a descriptive base — add scene details, lighting, or style after applying. For example, append "standing on a rooftop at golden hour" to give the character a setting.
