Two weeks after GPT’s image engine dropped, I’ve hacked together a rapid‑fire diagram workflow

</aside>

Feed any article, keynote, or blog post into my “big‑idea” bot, which distills each section into crisp image prompts; pipe those prompts through a custom diagram style guide (reverse‑engineered from my past graphics) so GPT returns on‑brand visuals; generate 10–20 renders, skim the album for near‑hits, then give the winners a 60‑second Canva tune‑up with Magic Grab‑Text for precise wording and accessibility tweaks—publish, credit the prompt, and boom: newsroom‑ready infographics in minutes, no designer gatekeeping required.

HOPECODE: Diagramming Ethical, Local AI Futures

The Process Overview

1. Distill key ideas from content
2. Create image prompts for each idea
3. Render with GPT-4o
4. Curate the best outputs
5. Polish in Canva (quick fixes)
6. Publish with proper attribution/alt/captions

Mini-Demo

• Take a writing sample or transcription
• Feed it into GPT to distill key points
• Demonstrate prompt creation with your diagram style guide
• Generate a diagram live
• Show before/after (raw vs. polished in Canva)
