DALL·E 3 (inside ChatGPT)

1 Why this tool matters

DALL·E 3 lives inside ChatGPT. That convenience is its superpower — you can describe an image conversationally, refine it with plain English (“make the cat orange, and put it on a red chair”), and copy-paste it into a document without leaving the tab. It is less stylish than Midjourney, but much easier to iterate on.

2 Walkthrough

1. In ChatGPT, start a new chat. Type: Draw a friendly illustration of a scientist explaining a pie chart to a skeptical cat. Flat colors, editorial style.
2. ChatGPT generates the image. Ask for changes conversationally: Make the cat look more skeptical. Add a lab coat on the scientist.
3. Ask: Keep the same style but draw the scientist explaining a bar chart instead. (Style continuity in one conversation.)
4. Download the image (right-click → Save).
5. For a series (a deck, a blog post), ask ChatGPT to plan the images first, then generate each one.
