20% cheaper professional images

Hey AI Enthusiast,

OpenAI just released ChatGPT Images 1.5.

Their new flagship image generation model. Up to 4x faster generation. Precise editing that preserves what matters.

The breakthrough? You can now edit specific parts of an image without losing consistency. Change lighting. Swap backgrounds. Try different hairstyles. The model keeps facial likeness, composition, and details intact across edits.

Before, you'd regenerate entire images to fix one element. Now you make precise changes while preserving everything else.

Available now for all ChatGPT users and in the API as GPT-Image-1.5. 20% cheaper than the previous version.

But the real Tips & Tricks Thursday lesson isn't about image generation.

It's about the AI voice agents that are finally reliable enough to handle your phone calls.

But first, today's prompt (then how to deploy voice AI...)

AI Voice Agent Setup: Handle Phone Calls Without Hiring More Staff

Phone calls eat up hours.

Appointment booking. Basic FAQs. Scheduling. Follow-ups. Status updates.

Most businesses handle this with expensive humans or annoying old IVR systems.

AI voice agents are finally reliable enough to replace both.

Why Voice AI Finally Works

Previous voice systems sucked. Robotic voices. Couldn't understand accents. Failed on anything complex.

Modern AI voice agents sound human. They understand context. They handle natural conversation. They escalate when needed.

Tools like Bland AI and Vapi make deployment simple.

What AI Voice Agents Can Handle

Appointment booking and rescheduling. Basic FAQ responses. Order status updates. Lead qualification calls. Payment reminders. Schedule confirmations. Information collection. Simple support requests.

They work 24/7. No breaks. No sick days. No staffing issues.

How to Deploy AI Voice Agents

Step 1: Choose Your Platform

Bland AI: Built for conversational AI phone agents. Easy setup. Natural-sounding voices. Good for appointment booking and lead qualification.

Vapi: Developer-friendly voice AI platform. More customization. Better for complex workflows.

Both integrate with your existing tools (calendars, CRMs, scheduling software).

Start with one platform. Test it. Scale if it works.

Step 2: Define What the Agent Handles

Don't try to automate everything at once.

Pick ONE specific use case: Appointment booking, FAQ responses, lead qualification, payment reminders, or schedule confirmations.

Choose the highest-volume, most repetitive task.

Step 3: Program the Agent's Knowledge Base

The agent needs to know: Your business hours, services or products, pricing, scheduling rules, escalation criteria, and common questions and answers.

You configure this through the platform. Most use a simple interface or conversation scripts.

Step 4: Set Up Escalation Rules

Define clear escalation triggers: Customer is angry or frustrated, question falls outside knowledge base, request requires human judgment, payment disputes, complex technical issues.

When triggered, the agent transfers to a human immediately. With full context.

Step 5: Record and Train on Your Best Responses

Record your best customer service calls. The ones where customers left happy.

Feed those transcripts to the AI. Train it to respond like your best team members.

This isn't one-time setup. It's continuous improvement.

Step 6: Monitor Which Conversations Need Human Escalation

Track escalation patterns.

If the agent escalates 50% of calls, something's wrong. If it escalates less than 5%, you might be under-escalating.

The goal: 10-20% escalation rate for most use cases.

What This Saves You

Most businesses spend 10-20 hours per week on repetitive phone calls.

Bland AI: ~$0.10-0.15 per minute of call time. Vapi: Similar pricing.

Compare that to: Hiring a receptionist ($3,000-4,000/month), outsourcing to a call center ($1,500-3,000/month), or voice AI ($200-800/month depending on volume).

The ROI is immediate for high-volume businesses.

What Most People Get Wrong

They try to automate complex conversations first. Sales calls. Technical support. Negotiations.

Start with simple, repetitive tasks: Booking appointments, confirming schedules, answering basic questions, collecting information.

These have clear success criteria. Easy to measure. Low risk if the agent fails.

Once those work, expand to more complex use cases.

🗞️ Breaking AI News 🗞️

OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 1.5, powered by a new flagship image generation model.

Available now for all ChatGPT users globally. Also available in the API as GPT-Image-1.5.

4x Faster Generation

Previous version took 30-60 seconds per image. New version generates images in 8-15 seconds.

You can continue generating new images while others are still in progress.

Precise Editing That Preserves What Matters

When you ask for edits to an uploaded image, the model changes only what you request.

Lighting, composition, and people's appearance stay consistent across inputs, outputs, and subsequent edits.

Change clothing without changing the person's face. Swap backgrounds without affecting the subject. Add or remove objects while maintaining scene coherence. Try different hairstyles while preserving facial features.

Better Instruction Following

The model follows instructions more reliably than the previous version.

More precise edits and more intricate original compositions where relationships between elements are preserved as intended.

Improved Text Rendering

The model handles denser and smaller text better than before.

Can now render markdown as a newspaper layout, code snippets, infographics with multiple text elements.

Types of Editing It Handles

Adding, subtracting, combining, blending, transposing. You get the changes you want without losing what makes the image special.

Creative Transformations

The model can transform images into different styles while preserving important details: Movie posters, fashion ads, product packaging, vintage aesthetics, artistic styles, seasonal themes, brand mockups.

New Images Experience in ChatGPT

OpenAI introduced a dedicated Images feature in the ChatGPT sidebar.

Dozens of preset filters and prompts to jump-start inspiration. Trending prompts updated regularly. One-time likeness upload so you can reuse your appearance across future creations.

API Improvements

20% cheaper than GPT Image 1. More consistent preservation of branded logos and key visuals across edits. Well-suited for marketing and brand work.

Companies using it: Wix, Canva, Higgsfield, Figma, Envato, Shutterstock.

What This Means

Old way: Generate image. If something's wrong, regenerate. Repeat.

New way: Generate image. Edit specific elements. Fine-tune without starting over.

Faster iteration. More control. Better results.

The 4x speed improvement means you can test more variations in less time. The precise editing means you don't waste credits regenerating entire images.

Over to You...

What's the first thing you'd create with image editing that's 4x faster and doesn't lose your subject's likeness?

Let me know what you'd use this for.

To faster visual creation,
