Beer With Kyle: Image Studio.What Should We Build Next? Video?

Hey Everyone,

Last week we talked about the recent update to Image Studio and some of the new capabilities that came with the model upgrade.

Many of you experimented with the ideas and examples I shared, which was great to see. Today I want to take that conversation a step further and talk about something just as important:

What tools, features, or integrations would make Image Studio more useful for you?

Because creating the image is only part of the process.

The Visual Side of Building a Business

When you are building an online business, visuals show up everywhere.

You might be creating:

• Blog post headers
• Social media graphics
• Banners or ads
• Infographics
• Product visuals
• Pinterest images

So the question becomes:

What happens before or after you generate the image?

Do you:

• Leave the platform to edit it somewhere else?
• Use AI to brainstorm concepts first?
• Resize or adapt it for different platforms?
• Turn the image into something else entirely?

These are the kinds of workflows we want to understand better.

One Feature I Would Personally Like

Something I have been testing lately is generating the same prompt multiple times to see different creative interpretations.

For example, I might prompt:

“Create a swimming pool designed in the shape of the WA logo.”

If I generate it multiple times, the AI often produces completely different creative ideas.

Right now I need to click and generate repeatedly to do that.

It would be interesting if the platform allowed:

• Multiple generations at once
• A batch of variations from the same prompt

This could help surface creative directions much faster.

Another Area: Image Integration

Another thing I have noticed while testing is that AI still struggles with vague instructions when integrating elements.

For example, if I ask the system to add me into a scene without specifying positioning or perspective, the result can be… interesting.

Sometimes I end up looking like a giant standing beside a pool.

That is not necessarily a flaw in the system. AI models avoid making too many assumptions.

But it does highlight an opportunity for better guidance, prompts, or tools to help position elements properly.

Things I Want Your Feedback On

As you use Image Studio, I want you to think about moments where you think:

“It would be nice if this did…”

Maybe that is:

• resizing images for different platforms
• generating variations automatically
• improving prompt suggestions
• easier integration of reference images
• organizing image projects
• visual editing tools

Those little friction points are exactly where we can improve the platform.

What About AI Video?

Another topic that comes up constantly is AI video.

I experiment with AI video fairly regularly, and while some results look impressive, most still feel obviously AI-generated.

The technology is improving quickly, but there are two issues right now:

1. Cost – good models can still cost several dollars for just a few seconds of video
2. Consistency – many videos are still not reliable enough for real business use

Our view right now is that we want to introduce video when it becomes truly useful, not just because the technology exists.

But I would love to hear your thoughts.

Would you want:

• video tools now, even if they are limited?
• or should we wait until the technology is more mature?

Image Quality Keeps Improving.

If you compare the images produced by Image Studio today to the first version we launched, the difference is massive.

Lighting, realism, composition, and creative interpretation have improved dramatically.

And this pace of improvement is not slowing down.

That is why your feedback matters now. We want to evolve the platform alongside these advancements.

One Last Note About the Direction of WA.

Behind the scenes we are also exploring something much bigger: a rebuild of the underlying architecture of Wealthy Affiliate.

Over time, technology platforms grow layer by layer. Eventually it becomes harder to move quickly because everything is connected.

Rebuilding the architecture would allow us to:

• ship updates faster
• add new features more easily
• evolve the platform in real time

That is something I will likely talk more about in a future update.

For now, I want to hear from you.

What would make Image Studio more powerful for your workflow?

What tools would help you create visuals faster?

What steps in your process feel unnecessary or inefficient?
