Created this cat entirely with AI and the secret 99 percent of the people miss? Imperfection is everything.
If your starting image looks too polished with no detailing's, the video model will overcorrect and the result looks fake. Here's what actually works:
→ Keyframe your starting image with natural imperfections and fine details
→ Write a long, specific prompt the more precise, the better
→ For the video prompt, describe motion do not repeat details.(a orange cat sitting with blah blah blah) Most creators just repeat their image prompt, which causes the model to distort the visuals trying to "re-render" them
That's the difference between AI video that looks alive and AI video that looks generated.

This is such a subtle but important point. Most people chase perfection in AI outputs, but realism often lives in the tiny imperfections. Curious — do you intentionally design ‘imperfections’ at the prompt level or refine them during iteration?
Hi Abhiram. i usually do it prompt level and then sometime refine it later when iterating but i have seen it works best when done at prompt level.
That’s a very sharp observation 👌
Prompt-level decisions really do shape the final realism more than most people realize.
Do you find this approach reduces iteration cycles, or just improves output consistency?
Yeah, it definitely helps with reducing iteration. When the prompt is structured properly from the start, the output becomes more consistent, and I spend less time fixing or regenerating. It saves both time and creative energy.

Can AI understand your rough sketches?
ChatGPT just added a new sketch feature to its new Images 2.5 model, so I tried it with extremely simple sketches and short prompts to see how well it could understand my intention.
And honestly, I actually like it!
This can be helpful especially when you already have a specific pose or composition in mind and want to quickly turn that rough idea into something more refined.
If you’re curious, I included a quick process video in the comments.
Do you think this new feature could be useful in your workflow?
So cool
Absolutely. The ability to translate a rough sketch into a refined visual while preserving the intended pose, composition, and creative direction could make the ideation process much faster. It feels especially useful for designers who want to communicate an idea visually before spending time refining every detail. Definitely a feature worth experimenting with in a real workflow.
This is a great experiment! The sketch to refined visual pipeline could seriously speed up early ideation. Curious how it handles more abstract or complex sketches.
Agent products resist normal product marketing. There's no single interface to screenshot and the category vocabulary has gone generic, so a feature list communicates almost nothing.
We built Heron's explanation as a four-beat scroll that runs the agent's actual loop. The model appears and is watched. Violations surface with plain language and a real IBC clause. An edit is applied after approval. The system learns the firm's standards.
Pacing was the main design problem. Each beat needed enough scroll distance to register as a separate action, without the section becoming so long that people bail before the payoff. The sequence carries the technical detail that would otherwise sit in a spec table.
The four-beat scroll is a smart way to make the agent’s loop feel tangible—much clearer than a static feature list. The restrained visual system gives the interaction room to breathe.
