What is AI Image Generation in Opus?
Opus’ AI image generator lets you customize your visuals directly in the Course builder or an Opus Doc.
With Opus’ AI image generator, you can:
Edit images already in your training
Upload and edit new ones
Generate completely new images from scratch
To get started, write a prompt describing what you want to see and generate your image. Then refine, retry, undo, or continue editing using other tools.
💡 Talk it through: Click the microphone (Dictate) in the image prompt box, describe what you want out loud, then click Stop and transcribe. Your words appear in the prompt box so you can edit them before you generate.
💡 Built with Gemini 2.5 Flash Image: We chose this AI model for its strong performance in image editing tasks. It produces high-quality results in less than 20 seconds.
Edit Images Already in Training Content
Update any image already in your Course or Opus Doc without uploading a new file.
Open your Course or Opus Doc, go to the Build tab and click Edit.
Select the image to update.
Click Edit with AI:
In a Course: in the menu on the right.
In an Opus Doc: in the menu on the image.
Describe your changes in the prompt box.
Apply the edit:
In a Course: click Edit with AI, compare Before and After, then click Use this image.
In an Opus Doc: click Generate. The edited image replaces the original.
💡 Don’t like your edit? Click Undo in the toolbar at the bottom of your Course or Opus Doc, or use Cmd + Z (Mac) / Ctrl + Z (Windows) to reverse it.

Upload any image from your device to enhance or modify it with AI.

FAQ
Who can use AI image generation?
Admins and Managers with the Create Content permission can generate and edit images. Ask your Admin if you don’t see the option.
Can I edit any image, not just AI-generated ones?
Yes, except GIFs. You can edit stock photos, uploads, screenshots, or previously generated images in your training.
Do I need to republish after using AI image generation?
Yes. After you add or edit images with the AI image generator, click Publish on your Course or Opus Doc for the updates to appear to team members.
What if I don’t like the result?
For a new image, click Regenerate. To change a new or uploaded image, describe another change and click Modify Image. A more specific prompt, including what you don’t want to see, usually helps.
What types of images work best?
AI works best for workplace scenarios, images of team members at work, or general training visuals. Highly detailed diagrams, technical close-ups, or complex branded content may need professional design tools.
Does AI learn from my images or use them for training?
No. This AI model does not train on your files or image library. Uploaded images are used only to complete your specific edit request.
Can I use AI-generated images in published Courses?
Yes. AI-generated images work in both published Courses and Opus Docs. Review them for accuracy and brand alignment before publishing.
