Traditional product photography requires significant time, budget, and logistical coordination. For e-commerce teams and marketers, this creates a bottleneck. You frequently need different visual contexts for products across various seasons, promotions, and ad campaigns.
Relying on manual photo editing or constantly reshooting physical items makes it incredibly difficult to scale your asset production.
By leveraging a no-code AI workflow in Momen, you can build a custom AI product image generator. This solution automates the creation of professional, contextual lifestyle images from standard product photos—all without writing a single line of code.
When to Use It
A product image generator is an application that takes a basic product photo—often with a transparent or solid background—and processes it through an AI image model to place it into new, user-defined environments.
This application drastically reduces your dependency on manual design work and physical photo shoots, bringing e-commerce image automation to your daily operations.
Typical Use Cases:
- Generating diverse backgrounds for e-commerce product listings.
- Creating varied lifestyle assets for social media ad testing.
- Building visual assets for seasonal marketing campaigns quickly.
When NOT To Use It:
- Do not use this workflow for products requiring exact, millimeter-precise technical representation. AI models can hallucinate details, which might misrepresent the physical item's functionality or exact mechanical structure.
How to Build This in Momen
Data Storage
First, define the structure to store the original uploads and the AI-generated results.
- Data Model: In the Data tab, create a table named product. For detailed instructions on structuring tables, read the documentation on data models.
Logic & Actionflow Configuration
AI Agent Configuration
Navigate to the AI tab to configure the intelligence behind the generation. You can read the documentation on AI agents to understand point consumption and model limits.
- Inputs: Add two parameters: original_image (Image) and requirement (Text).
- Prompt Template:
Role: A top-tier commercial visual designer and senior photo retoucher.
- Goals: Generate a high-quality product image based on the received image and requirements. Use {{Input/requirement}} to reference user input.
Constraints: Include instructions for "Material Lock" (to keep the product consistent), "Visual Integration" (lighting matching), and "Model Adaptation."
Model: Select Gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-4K.
Outputs: Set to Plain text and disable Streaming output.
Actionflow Configuration
Create an Actionflow named Generate Product Image to bridge the UI and the AI.
- Input Node: Define original_image (Image) and requirement (Text).
- Execution Mode: In the right panel, set the mode to Async.
- AI Node (Start Conversation): Select the AI Agent created earlier and bind the inputs.
- Save Record (Insert Data):
Table: product.
- original_image & requirement: Bind from the Actionflow inputs.
- result_image: Use the GET_ITEM formula to extract the image from the AI output array (usually index 0).
UI Construction & Interaction
Component Layout
- Inputs: Drag an Image Picker for the product photo and a Text Input for requirements. Enable "Multiple lines" for the text input.
- Trigger: Add a Button.
- Display: Add a List component to show history/results.
Interaction Setup
- Button Action:
Actionflow: Select Generate Product Image. Bind the components' values to the flow parameters.
- Actions on Success: Add two "Reset input component value" actions to clear the Image Picker and Text Input.
- List Configuration:
Data Source: Remote -> product table.
- Request Type: Subscription. This ensures the generated image appears automatically in the list once the background Actionflow completes.
- Result Display & Download:
Inside the List, add an Image component. Bind its source to item.result_image.
- Click Interaction: Add a "Download Image" action, binding the source to the same result_image field.
Verification
- Preview: Click the Preview button.
- Test: Upload a product photo and type a descriptive prompt.
- Check: Click "Get Started." After a few moments, the generated image should automatically pop up in the list below. Click the image to download.
- Database: Verify that the product table contains the original image, requirement, and result.
If the image is not displayed, please check if the request type of the List component is set to "Subscription".
Test Case Reference
Case 1: High-End Watch 3x3 Grid Showcase
Input Photo & Result Image:
Input Requirement:
Presentation Format: An exquisite 3x3 grid (9 images total) for product photography. Each image is a perfect square, designed for a seamless, cohesive layout.
Visual Quality: Ultra-high resolution, extreme sharpness, flawless studio lighting, and sophisticated white space (negative space).
Aesthetic Style: High-end horology and luxury advertising. Refined, premium color grading with top-tier commercial photography aesthetics.
The 3x3 Grid Specifications
1.Core Masterpiece: An elegant composition of the watch resting on a minimalist pedestal.
2.Structural Perspective: A profile/side view emphasizing the case's silhouette, contours, and proportions.
3.Ultimate Macro: A razor-sharp close-up of the dial, capturing every minute detail and index.
4.Signature Features: A detailed shot of the crown, pushers, or other iconic design elements.
5.Tactile Texture: A macro study of the strap material (e.g., fine leather grain or brushed metal finishing).
6.Elemental Interaction: The timepiece interacting subtly with natural elements .
7.Soft Backdrop: The watch set against a background of delicate linen or flowing silk fabric.
8.Moody Atmosphere: Dramatic, low-key lighting with high contrast to evoke mystery and depth.
