Transcripts

hey everyone jolt here exol AI is a

script available in the obsidian exol

draw script store and today I'd like to

show you the different enhancements I've

made to the script over the last couple

of weeks first of all we're going to

look at a number of examples to Showcase

what exol AI is capable of then we're

going to take a bit more structured look

at the various use cases currently in

implemented we're going to look under

the hood just a little so you have an

understanding of the logic flow of how

to use exol Ai and finally we're going

to look at how you can install it how

you can set up your API key and how you

can get started with excal AI so let's

start with this example so I have this

drawing here I'm going to start exol AI

right here so it's in the obsidian tools

panel and if I scroll down here you will

find the robot here that's xol AI

because we are going to use this

frequently today I'm going to long press

on this and by long pressing on it it

was added here to the side panel so it's

easier to access and now I'm going to

click on this and here for the first

example I'm going to choose the model

that I want to generate an image from

from an image and a prompt and here I'm

going to just add

horror I think that's enough so I want

to create a horror image of this here I

can set the size I'm actually going to

set this to be portrait and here's an

important notice that I'm going to

explain as this generates note the

generation takes quite some time because

this depends deps on open AI response

times the note I wanted to make is when

the image is generated you receive the

image with a URL from open AI that URL

is going to be deleted after 30 minutes

so if you want to keep the image then

you will need to do the following you

will need to right click on the image

and you need to choose save image from

your L to local file when I do this then

the image was saved locally now take a

look at what was generated I think this

is pretty cool so first of all you can

actually see the tree you can see the

house with the Red Roof you can see the

road you can see the flowers or vs in

this case and indeed this is a horror

image now

what happens under the hood is I send

this image to the vision interface of

open Ai and ask it to generate a

detailed prompt and so when the image is

generated this is the detailed prompt

that openai created which was then sent

to doll e for the image generation and

this is how we ended up with the image

now let's just take a look at some of

the examples we have so I'm going to

pull this here and I'm going to put my

horror image here and let's just quickly

look at the various styles that I

created so this was my sci-fi image this

is my fairy tale version this is my

mountain cabin version this is my simple

life version vangog minimalistic pencil

version the photo unsplash and the black

and white photo version I think these

are all pretty cool and of course in all

of the cases you can see how the house

the original pencil drawing that I

created in exol draw on my phone was

translated here now let's look at just

another example here so this is again an

example here of a city and you can see

here these were the various versions

that were generated from this I'm not

going to spend the time now to generate

them but just to show you how this works

now what I want to show you is how you

can edit an image so this is my image

edit use case right here so you can see

that I can add a mask over the picture

now notice that the generated image is a

square and that is a limitation by open

AI dolly that the image must be squar

shaped but here I can maybe change now

my prompt I'm going to delete or just

move my mask from there and I'm going to

use these two masks on the side and I'm

going to now select the image I'm going

to start excal Ai and I need to choose a

different prompt I'm now going to choose

edit image now notice that when I click

edit image and maybe let me just click

this back so you can see it now you can

see the image with the gray boxes around

it if I click edit image then you will

see that this suddenly turns into two

now it this one right now maybe is not

the ideal one let me just put this back

here for a second so you can see what's

going on I'm going to again click edit

image and you can see here that the

black areas are where the image is going

to be created this one right here is the

same size as this one it's just a bit

because they are next to each other you

don't see the mask but of course you can

see the mask right here and what I want

to do to experiment with is let's see

what if I say that this is a busy City

street so this might not actually work

so well let's see what open AI doly is

able to do this with this because of

course this

image is not a busy City street but

maybe it is going to draw some houses on

the side or something like that I'm

super curious how open AI is going to

solve this problem for us so let's just

wait until this

generates and well well yeah so this is

not really perfect so you can see the

busy City street this thing appeared

here so my earlier approach with the uh

space ship Flying Saucer was better but

maybe we can do just one more experiment

you can see here I generated ports here

so I'm going to take this image right

here I'm again going to click exol AI

and I'm going to write here City Beach

with lots of people so hopefully this is

going to work out much better note the

generation can take up to 20 30 seconds

and wow this is so cool so you can see

here our beach was created based on this

image at the top just a continuation of

the image I'm actually going to save

this so let's now look at one more use

case the use case I want to look at is

generating a prompt by the way notice

that every time I generate an image this

message pops up just to remind you that

if you want to keep the image you need

to save it I'm going to close it now I

have this practice of

creating a picture every day for a daily

quote so this is a quote that I created

this image for with mid Journey so this

is not excit and not Dolly this was my

image generated for this quot to at Mid

journey and I usually spend good 10 20

minutes playing around until I get to an

image that I really like but right now

let's see what happens if we automate

this process so I'm going to start exol

AI I'm going to choose the generate an

image to illustrate a quote and I'm

going to just paste here the quote now

in the meantime let me just give you a

little bit of explanation first of all

let me close this because I shouldn't

have selected the text I don't want to

send the image so now it's only going to

be the user prompt so let me just walk

you through what you see here on the

screen we have already looked at this

drop- down list this is where you can

select the action each of the actions

has a short help so if you read it

hopefully that's going to give you some

better idea of what that prompt is about

I have a system prompt for most of the

actions you can read the system prompt

here you can also try to modify the

system prompt I played a bit with these

system prompts so they generate the type

of result I want you can move modify

this as well if you want and see if you

can come up with a better system prompt

and of course here we have the user

prompt and here I can choose the size of

the image I would like to see generated

so this is now going to be a portrait

image note that if you configure Dolly 2

we'll look at configuration later then

the image sizes are going to be

different but right now let's just

generate an image to illustrate this

quote and let's see how this image is

going to look like now this is also

something that happens sometimes that

there's an unexpected error no problem

we can run again and usually the second

time when you run the script it executes

in the script I'm not doing serious

amount of airor handling and as a result

you sometimes get that back but again

this is just a reminder that as long as

you see this generating spinner here you

know that I am waiting for the response

from open AI because I print the image

prompt here this usually gives you an

understanding of the logic why open AI

thought that this would be a good

illustration for the quote so again our

quote was don't ruin the present with

the ruined past so let's read this

create an image featuring an

otherworldly collidoscope like landscape

the foreground includes a figure

standing at a Crossroads their back to

the viewer exuding

resilience to their left a path showing

the past cluttered with fragments of

broken objects and Faded memories to

their right the path is bright leading

to a vibrant and Lively landscape the

figure 's outstretched arm reaches for

the enriching future Rich contrasting

colors should exude energy and optimism

the scene should blur reality and

fantasy boundaries using light and

Shadow to symbolize a journey from past

Darkness to present light the overall

feeling should be hopeful capturing the

promise of embracing the

present so I think with this

explanation this image is pretty good

the next one is going to be about

creating a mind map to explain a

whiteboard image this was available in

the earlier version of exol AI already I

made a little change that I want to show

you here you need to choose challenge my

thinking right there and challenge my

thinking is going to generate a mind map

you can add a user prompt or you can

leave the prompt empty going to submit

this this is going to generate a mind

map that partly summarizes the ideas on

the image partly adds additional ideas

to it and partly challenges the idea so

the image was or the Mind map was

generated but wasn't inserted so there's

probably an issue with the script and

here's what's new so first of all I

inserted the mermaid script here and

secondly here if you open the menu and

go to mermaid to exol draw you will find

the script here and you can try to

manually fix it unfortunately open AI CH

GPT sometimes results in incorrect

formatting of mermaid diagram so I'm

going to just now click clean this up

probably this should be subgraph or

something like that but let's look at

how this looks like I'm guessing that if

I would type here so let's just undo the

previous changes so let's just type in

subgraph like this and I'm going to type

end and I'm going to just put this on my

clipboard and replace these so this

unfortunately happens sometimes that ch

gbt

generation of a mermaid graph is not

perfect but the good thing is that you

don't need to regenerated of course you

could also just simply press generate

and create a new cph or you can come in

here and you can edit it the additional

benefit of editing the graph is and so

there you go it's now created this graph

that I can also change this to be from

instead of top down maybe to be left

right organized and now if I insert this

right here then I can also use my script

select elements of type and I'm going to

select the

arrows and here I can make the arrows to

be sharp instead of

rounded I like this look of the Mind map

a little better and now we can read what

open AI returned to also how should we

go about filling the page and this is

the brick road approach to sketch noting

and this is the expansion of the concept

so this is an alternative to linear note

taking and these two lines on top of are

on top of each other so I'm just going

to bring this down here and yeah I'm not

going to read through the material but

you can see here that there's this

analysis of my drawing I can use this as

a reflection on my thinking I'm going to

do this after recording this video but I

thought that this is a pretty

interesting use case the other example I

want to show you is the code generation

which I think is more of just a game I'm

going to use this calculator right here

and I'm going to copy the prompt from

here and now I'm going to again start

exol AI I'm going to select here

wireframe to code the new feature in

this case is you can provide the

description of the application you want

to build as a user prompt so it's not

part of the image so you could also add

the text prompt under the image and send

it as an image and then open AI would

decode the text and generate probably

the same

calculator this gives you some

flexibility and options that now you can

add a separate prompt so let's look at

this calculator it looks good so let's

just see 12 plus let's maybe 5 *

6 equal 42 so the calculator actually

works as expected 2 over one is 0.5 so

this is this is pretty good I'm I'm

pretty happy with the calculator also in

the description I asked the calculator

to follow the color scheme of the image

and indeed I can see that this is

largely the color scheme I'm happy with

the outcome and now before we quickly

recap the various functions and look

under the hood how to use the tool

here's one last example so in this case

I took a photo from the internet and I

added some

icons from Flat icons here and

as C GPT or rather Dolly to create an

image so here's the resulting image I

think this is uh pretty nice and it's a

nice mix of using some icons from the

internet as well as a picture to frame

what I'm looking for and then GPT can

generate the image for us so with this

let's now just recap the different use

cases so alt together there are three

big areas of use cases well you can play

and that's the wireframe to code web

development use case you can create

illustrations and this reminds me

there's one more example we didn't look

at so you can also create excital

elements and convert elements to shapes

so let's look at this I'm going to draw

this circle here I'm going to select

this I'm going to select convert sketch

to shapes I'm going to delete my prompt

and let's run this this should be

somewhat faster because here there's no

image

Generation Um it was faster but the end

result is well not very good so this was

converted into a box I mean I thought

that this was a circle um so it's it's

not perfect let's look at the other use

case these two use cases about creating

EXC colid draw shapes is more of an

experiment from my side they are really

not that good at the moment but let's

create a smiley and let's see if the

smiley is

created there's our Smiley if I

can get the smiley out of there so the

smiley is actually pretty nice I think

that's a I'm I'm happy with the smiley

part the they can also try others I was

successful with generating a car and a

table and small things like that but

again sometimes what's generated you

need to remove background colors or make

Parts transparent because it's hidden it

takes a bit of experimentation to work

it out but back to a look at the use

cases so web development and play the

other is generating EXC colit Elements

which is super

experimental creating and editing images

we looked at a whole bunch of examples

here um there are also additional use

cases where you can just simply generate

an image from a prompt you can also use

this for visual brainstorming maybe we

can look at this example as well so back

to the brick road approach the visual

brainstorming is about creating an image

so I'm going to now choose visual

brainstorm I'm just going to send this

image over and I'm going to click run so

the visual

brainstorm creates a

picture that somehow resonates with the

content of the Whiteboard that you've

created my idea is that looking look at

the picture and looking at the

Whiteboard it can spark some additional

ideas so this is the image that was

generated so this is about sketch noting

for sure we have the sketch note artist

we have this idea up here we have a bit

of a diagram up in this corner it's

actually this Leaf of ideas that are

spreading all over it's it is a nice

illustration is it helping me thinking

about sketch noting well maybe it does

so I can reflect on this image and

connect it with the ideas from The Brick

Road approach to skep thing and just see

some links I'm actually going to save

this image so again final reminder that

you need to save the image locally if

you want to keep it otherwise you come

back tomorrow and this image is no

longer going to be

available I think we've looked at all

the use cases so the other use case

apart from illustrations is to generate

new ideas and generate new ideas could

be illustration of a quote it could be a

visual brainstorm or a mermaid graph

that illustrates an

idea so then let's look at what's under

the hood I'm going to be very quick on

this but I think this is helpful and you

also saw how I'm using this in the

presentation so you need to select the

elements you want to include in your

prompt on the canvas so for example like

this I can select these elements and

then these are going to be the ones that

I'm sending to open

AI for some of the prompts like for

example for the quote you don't need to

select elements because then you're only

sending the text prompt and that's

okay then you choose the task now when

you choose the task then depending on

the type of task you saw that in case of

selecting the image edit then the

picture and the excolo elements were

taken in two separate parts so you

remember here that we were looking at

this mask like that and here if I start

excal

AI you can see that in the normal case

this entire image would be sent to open

AI if I choose here edit image then this

is split into two I have the

picture and I have the mask and wherever

the mask is black that's where the image

is going to be generated maybe this can

be much more visible if I do it here let

me bring this to the

front like this and so for example if I

would want to change this house into a

skyscraper and then I would send I would

open exol AI like this and then you can

see here that this is where the

skyscraper will go you can see the mask

and you can see the

image so depending on the task you will

see a different preview image either the

image plus the mask or the image only

you can then provide your text prompt

and optionally modify the system prompt

so the system prompt is this one up here

in case of edit image there is actually

no system prompt but most of the cases

there are so this is the customize

system prompt part and then when you hit

run at the bottom then depending on the

activity you selected different things

will happen either a mermaid graph is

generated or an EXC colro drawing is

generated or a web app or maybe dolly is

executed and an image is created in some

cases and this is the case then you

create an an image prompt and you want

you add an image and a prompt and you

want to create a new image based on that

inspired by that like my little house so

this was uh these are all the examples

of that then what happens is first I

call GPT vision and GPT Vision generates

an image prompt and then with that I go

to Dolly and I generate the image and

finally if you like the image you should

save it locally right click save locally

or if not then open II will delete the

image in 30

minutes I'm not saving the images

automatically to the Vault because I'm

assuming that there's going to be lots

of rubbish generated by open Ai and you

don't want to clutter your Vault so this

requires a bit of deliberate action on

your side to save what you find to save

it locally and finally let's look at

what it takes to get started with this

so first of all you need to install xol

AI from the script Library how does it

work you click here to open the obsidian

tools panel and top left you see install

or update excal draw scripts if I open

this then I can search for exol

AI like this it will take me here and if

I click on this then here I can just

simply click install now it's already

installed so I didn't I don't need to

install it but this is how I would

install it if I click this it will say

installed xol AI once you have exol ai

working you need to go to open Ai and

you need to create an account and add

money to that account so this is the

link you need to open and you can see

here that this is my balance I have

$392 by the way generating images we can

look at how much today's usage cost so

generating all the images we did right

now I was already I think at 9 cents so

today this image generation for the

video cost me about 40 cents I don't

think it's a huge amount of money so

this is there you can see

the usage information as well once you

have your account and you've added money

to the account you need to add at

minimum $5 otherwise the GPT Vision

model is not going to be available to

you if you have at least $5 or on your

account you still need to wait about 10

20 minutes for open AI to activate your

access and then you can come here and

configure in obsidian you need to create

an open AI API key you can see the link

right here if I click on this it takes

me to the API keys I can click here to

create a new secret key and then the key

is going to be created and then I need

to go to plug-in settings right here and

I need to click on EXC colar draw AI

settings and here I can

configure my API key and my different

models as well and finally when you're

done come here to the tools panel and

find exol AI

here amongst the downloaded scripts if

you long click on it then you can add it

pin it to the side panel and from then

on it's going to work as I've

demonstrated it to you uh in the

video so that's all I wanted to share

with you today I already used it a lot

in my workflows I enjoy it so much yes

it costs a little money but the amount

is not so much and I think the benefit

you're getting with the images with the

mind maps with the workflows is super

valuable give it a try and let me know

what you think in the comments below

thank you
