DALL-E 3 / 4

DALL-E is OpenAI's image model. It excels at Prompt Adherence—it draws exactly what you ask for, including complex text.

When to Use

• ChatGPT Integration: "Draw a diagram of..." inside a chat flow.
• Complex Instructions: "A cat holding a sign that says 'Hello World'".
• Safety: Strict guardrails against NSFW/Copyright.

Core Concepts

Integration

Available via OpenAI API (dall-e-3) and ChatGPT.

Editing

In ChatGPT, you can select an area of the image and say "Make the cat blue".

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

• Use via ChatGPT: The conversational refinement is its superpower.
• Ask for JSON: The API can return the image or a revised prompt.

Don't:

• Don't expect photorealism: It often has a "plastic" or "smooth" look compared to Midjourney.
