Frequently Asked Questions

Which AI providers are supported?

VibeFast supports DALL-E 3, GPT Image 1, and Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. You can switch between these models instantly via the settings. The architecture abstracts the provider differences, giving you a unified API for generation.

How do I control costs?

The backend includes hooks for tracking generation counts and costs. You can implement rate limiting in the backend functions, require premium subscriptions for AI features, or set per-user limits. The telemetry hooks help you monitor usage patterns.

Can users save and share generated images?

Yes. VibeFast includes save-to-camera-roll functionality and share hooks for iOS and Android. Users can download their creations or share directly to social media, messages, or other apps using the native share sheet.

Where are generated images stored?

Images are stored in Convex or Supabase storage with references in the database. Each generation record includes the prompt, provider used, timestamp, and file URL. You can configure retention policies if you want to auto-delete old images.

How fast is the image generation?

Generation time depends on the provider and model. DALL-E typically takes 5-15 seconds, and Gemini is similar. The UI shows a loading state with progress indication, and the architecture supports cancellation if the user navigates away.

Can I customize the image generation prompts?

Yes. You can add system prompts to guide the generation, create prompt templates for specific styles, or implement prompt enhancement. The prompt is passed directly to the provider, so you have full control over the input.
