How to Enable Image Generation Field Agent?

Hi everyone,

I had a great time at Buildathon NYC! Really enjoyed meeting so many of you. It was awesome connecting with such a talented and friendly community!

During the event, while tackling different challenges, I had the opportunity to play around with the "Image Generation" field agent. It sparked a bunch of ideas for how we could use it in projects at my organization.

Now that I am back (after rough flights)! I have enabled all AI models and AI Labs features in our Airtable workspace (we are on a Business plan). However, even though everything appears to be turned on, I am not seeing the “Generate Image” option, nor do I see any image related field agent available. Interestingly, I do see the "Video (AI Labs)" option.

Am I missing a step to enable image generation? Is there a specific setting, permission, or rollout limitation I should be aware of?

At this point, I am starting to feel like the AI agents do not like me 😅 During the event in NYC, around 2:30PM'ish, they suddenly stopped working on my base, so I couldn't finish and submit the challenge and now this…

Would really appreciate any guidance, thanks in advance!

What a great event!  For me, when I click the + button to add a new field, it’s an option there.

 

I’m on the Team plan.  On the settings page, I have both radio buttons turned on.

Hi ​@matthewsk ,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it. Just a few minutes before your response, I came across the announcement post about image generation (from about 5 months ago!), and noticed this section:

How to get started

- Image Gen is available today for all customers on Free and Teams plans.
- Business and Enterprise Scale customers can access Image Gen via AI Labs. We’ll share more updates soon on bringing Image Gen to all Business and Enterprise Scale customers.

This made me wonder whether our account might still not be part of the "all business customers” rollout.

Also, based on the screenshot I shared earlier, I am seeing "Research People" instead of a "Generate Image" option, even though all AI features appear to be enabled in the Admin Console.

Thanks again for your help!

In my AI enabled account, I get the same Field agent ordering as ​@matthewsk but another angle of approach would be to create an Attachment field (which is where AI gen images would get put anyway), as I’m prompted with AI image gen options there in the edit field settings.

Hello ​@DisraeliGears01,

Could you please tell me your plan? I want to confirm whether "Image Generation" is available and enabled for the "Free" and "Team" plans, but not for the "Business" plan. I have a free/trial account, and I see the menu options as shown. (The screenshot is below)

And thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it.

Super weird! My AI enabled base is on the Team plan. Are you the admin for your business plan workspace?

+1 I can see ‘Generate Image’ on Teams bases but not on Business bases.  I reckon you may want to open a support ticket directly about this one?
