[Mio.2 Practice] AI Story Creation for Beginners | Explaining the Process Through Actual Use

Mio.2, developed by the official PixAI team.

Mio.2 is PixAI's new interactive image generation agent.

To help beginners feel like they want to try it out, I will actually use it and explain the entire process.

I hope this makes you think, "I want to try it too."

Preparation before starting with Mio.2

First, access the official PixAI website and create a free account.

Once you have created an account, click on the arrow section labeled "Create with Mio.2".

This will take you to the Mio.2 creation screen.

Even though it is called preparation, for those who have already registered for a free PixAI account, it is simple because you can switch to the Mio.2 creation screen just by clicking.

Basic usage of Mio.2

Before you enter anything for the first time, please let me explain the screen briefly.

There are items on the screen called Default and Brainstorming.

In the default section, which is selected initially, if you enter something like "red-haired female swordsman," an image will be generated according to that content.

However, at first, it is easier to proceed efficiently if you switch to Brainstorming to decide on things like the face and outfit together with Mio.2.

To help bring any ideas you have to life, I recommend changing it to "Idea Generation."

Also, there is no problem with leaving the chat model as "Kotone v1" as it is.

If you switch to the Silver or Gold plan, you can change to a different chat model, but you don't need to worry about that if you are just trying it out for free.

For now, just changing it to "Idea Generation" at the start is fine.

The basic flow for creating an AI story

Once you have changed it to "Idea Generation," try telling Mio.2 the image you have in your mind.

That said, I think you might not know how to handle it at first.

Even if you have something you want to try with Mio.2 or a situation you want to bring to life, start by using the example sentences shown by Mio.2, like the ones indicated by the arrows, to generate ideas.

This time, I gave the instruction: "Depict a scene where a knight raises a sword and faces a dragon."

Then, Mio.2 will generate ideas based on the instructions provided, as shown below.

Even if your initial question is abstract, Mio.2 will ask you about specific situational settings to turn the scene into an anime-like sequence.

From there, as you select the options presented by Mio.2, it will assist you by further refining the situation.

In this way, you generate ideas to a certain extent and shape the scene you want to reproduce.

At first, it is enough to think of it as creating a short story together with the AI.

Once you get used to it, you can combine the content proposed by Mio.2 with your own composition and convey it to Mio.2, and by building it up in the true sense, it will finish into a story overflowing with originality.

How to generate images based on brainstorming

Using the previous prompt, 'Draw a scene where a knight raises a sword and faces a dragon,' we will now generate an image.

Let's set it to default again and create an image using the English prompt generated by Mio.2.

And here is what was generated.

Just by giving simple instructions, a magnificent image was generated.

Furthermore, if detailed descriptions are needed, you can interact with it to generate the necessary images.

If the AI story is considered complete once the dragon is defeated, the ending would look something like this.

You can also conclude with a scene of the hero's party having successfully defeated the dragon.

In this way, you can build an AI story while generating images.

This concludes the basic usage and the overall flow of Mio.2.

By actually using it and expanding your imagination, you will gain practical experience and be able to create AI stories that better match the images you have in mind.

I would be happy if this article made you think, 'I want to try creating an AI story using Mio.2.'
