Automate AI image generation and share on Telegram

This n8n workflow automates the generation of custom images using AI models like Gemini or ChatGPT. Users can trigger the workflow by sending a chat message, which prompts the system to generate an image based on the message content.

The generated image is then saved to local storage and optionally shared on a communication platform like Telegram. This workflow is designed for users who need to create a variety of visual content, such as marketing materials, character art, or daily image generation, in a streamlined and automated fashion.
