Epoxy

Epoxy is Epox's built-in assistant. You describe a look in plain language and Epoxy answers with a proposal.

One click on Apply Settings fills in Studio for you. You review the result and generate as usual.

This guide covers the assistant inside Studio (Image, Video and Edit tabs), the separate Enhance button on the prompt box, and Epoxy's own chat page.

Before you start

• A product open in Studio. To see what Epoxy changes, it helps to know the settings tiles. See Generation Settings.
• Credits for generating. Chatting with Epoxy in Studio does not generate anything and does not spend credits. Generating the result afterwards does.

Open the assistant in Studio

On the Image or Video tab

1. Open a product in Studio and choose the Image or Video tab.
2. In the settings panel, find the AI Assistant… row. It is the first row of the Settings section, above the settings tiles.
3. Click AI Assistant…. A panel titled Epoxy opens beside the settings, with the subtitle "Describe what you want, I'll set it up".
4. Click AI Assistant… again to close it. You can also press Esc.

On the Edit tab

1. Choose the Edit tab.
2. In the thin rail of tools, click the Epoxy icon. Its tooltip reads "Ask Epoxy for help with this edit".
3. The panel header changes to Epoxy. Clicking any other tool or template on the rail switches back to it.

The assistant is the same in all three places. Only the placeholder and the example suggestions change to fit the tab.

Write a good request

The empty panel shows "Describe what you want" and a few suggestion chips. Click a chip to send it, or type your own in the box at the bottom ("Describe what you want to create..." on Image and Video, "What to edit..." on Edit).

1. Click the message box and type your request.
2. Press Enter to send. Press Shift+Enter for a new line.

Name the scene, the light and the mood. Short, concrete requests work best. Examples:

• Image tab: "Couch next to a concrete wall with natural light"
• Image tab: "Minimalist studio shot on white background"
• Video tab: "Cinematic slow orbit with dramatic lighting"
• Edit tab: "Remove the background and add a soft shadow"

Epoxy sees your current settings and selected products, so you can also ask for changes: "Make it a vertical 9:16 shot" or "Keep the scene but make the light warmer". Sometimes Epoxy asks a question first and shows answer buttons under its reply. Click one instead of typing.

Attach an image (optional)

Attach a picture when you want Epoxy to match a look, a colour or a scene you already have.

1. Click the image button to the left of the message box. Its label is Attach image.
2. In the picker that opens, choose one image. You can attach only one image at a time.
3. Click Add Image. A small thumbnail appears under the box with the counter "1/1 attached".
4. To remove it, hover the thumbnail and click the X in its corner.
5. Type your request and send. The attachment is used for that message, then cleared.

Read the reply

1. While Epoxy works you see bouncing dots and "Thinking...".
2. The reply appears as a message. It may show the image you attached, text explaining what it set up, answer buttons, and action buttons.
3. Read the text first. Nothing in Studio has changed yet.

Apply the settings

1. Under the reply, click Apply Settings.
2. Studio is filled in from the proposal.
3. Close the panel, or leave it open, and check the tiles and the prompt box.

What happens depends on the tab:

• Image tab: the proposal replaces your current settings. Tiles that Epoxy does not mention are cleared, so old choices do not linger. The prompt and output options such as aspect ratio are filled in too.
• A named look appears as an unsaved template in the Template section, so you can save it with Templates.
• No product selected: Epoxy follows up with a Select Products button.
• Video tab: the video settings and prompt are filled in and Studio switches to the Video tab if you were elsewhere.
• Edit tab: the button stages the edit steps in the Edit tab's working steps and closes the panel. Nothing runs yet. Review the steps and run them with Process. You need an image selected on the Edit tab first, otherwise you see "Couldn't apply that edit".

If you see "Couldn't apply that suggestion", your settings were left untouched. Ask Epoxy again, or rephrase.

Refine and start over

1. To change the result, just keep talking: "Make the background cleaner" or "Warmer light, add a plant". Epoxy builds on the conversation.
2. Click Apply Settings again on the new reply. On the Image tab this replaces the previous apply.
3. To go back to your earlier settings, there is no undo for Apply Settings. Set the tiles by hand, or apply a saved template.
4. To wipe the conversation, click Clear at the top of the panel. It appears once there is at least one message, and gives you a fresh empty panel.

Your conversation is kept per studio session. Closing the panel, or generating, does not lose it.

Reopen AI Assistant… and you are back where you left off. Generating closes the panel so you can see the result.

Enhance: a quicker way to sharpen a prompt

Enhance is a separate button and not part of the chat. It sits in the bottom-right corner of the prompt box (a lightning-bolt icon).

1. Write a prompt first. With an empty box the button is disabled and its tooltip reads "Write a prompt first".
2. Click the lightning-bolt button. Epoxy rewrites your prompt and adjusts related settings in one step. There is no chat message and no Apply Settings to click.
3. Not happy? Click the Undo arrow that appears next to it. Each click steps back one Enhance, up to the last ten.

How it differs from the chat:

• Enhance refines what you already have. It keeps tiles it does not touch and keeps an applied template attached. Apply Settings replaces the Image tab's settings.
• Enhance needs a prompt to start from. The chat can start from nothing.
• Enhance has a daily allowance that depends on your plan. The tooltip shows "Enhance · N left today". When it runs out it reads "No Enhances left today" and you see "You've used today's Enhance". The allowance resets at midnight UTC, or you can upgrade your plan for more.

Chat with Epoxy on its own page

The page is for when you want to create without opening a product first.

1. In the left sidebar, click Epoxy AI. The page asks "What would you like to create?".
2. Describe what you want, for example "Create a white-background catalog shot" or "Create a vertical 9:16 video for Reels".
3. To include a photo, click the Add image button beside the box and choose images.
4. Press Enter to send. While Epoxy works, the box reads "Working on it…".
5. When a result appears, hover it and open its menu. Choose Use as reference to build on it, Download to save it, Open in library to see it in the Library, or Attach to product(s) to link it to products.
6. Click New Chat for a fresh conversation, and History to reopen or delete earlier ones. Finish a running generation before you switch chats ("Finish the current generation before starting a new chat").

Check your result

• After Apply Settings, the tiles and the prompt reflect what Epoxy proposed. Nothing has been generated yet.
• After Enhance, your prompt text is rewritten and the Undo arrow is visible.
• After generating, the new images or videos appear in your product and in the Library.

Next steps

• Understand every Generation Setting.
• Generate images in Studio.
• Save a look as a template.
