Three differents ways of using Assistant AI
Hello, ELH community
This week’s topic is timely because I recently used Storyline’s AI assistant to create a first aid training course.
Since I only used Storyline’s AI assistant, no prompts were saved.
Interesting fact: I wrote all the prompts in French, and the results met my expectations, even as I refined my requests each time.
Here are the three ways I used it:
1. Create new images from a character template. The prompt specified the symptoms of a stroke to recreate: loss of vision, sagging jaw (the hand position was adjusted several times😉), numbness in the arm, headache, and slurred speech. The image used as a template came from Vecteezy.
Image as template from VecteezyImages of symptoms of a stroke from AI Assistant in Storyline2. Create a realistic image of two people in a situation involving an airway obstruction, detailing the scene (background, characters with their postures and emotions). The most difficult part was specifying the exact position of the woman’s arm to perform a back pat. Then I wanted to convert the realistic image into a vector illustration.
3. Change only the color of a character in an illustration, specifying the color of each item of clothing.
The AI assistant was a huge help because I couldn’t always find the exact image I needed in the usual stock image libraries!

What a great real-world showcase of how versatile AI Assistant has become! First aid training is such a perfect use case too, since you need very specific, accurate visuals (exact symptoms, exact hand positions) that stock libraries just don't always have on hand.
I especially appreciate you breaking this down into three distinct use cases, because they show different strengths: generating brand-new images from a template, building a detailed scene from scratch with very specific positioning, and doing targeted edits like recoloring clothing on an existing character. That range is a great reminder that "AI image generation" isn't one skill, it's several, and Storyline's AI Assistant handled all three.
The stroke symptom images are such a smart application. Getting something like a sagging jaw or arm numbness to read correctly in an illustration is genuinely tricky, so kudos for sticking with it through the adjustments until it looked right. And converting a realistic image into a vector illustration is such a nice detail. That kind of style flexibility within one tool is huge.
Also, love that you worked in French and still got results that met your expectations, even while refining prompts along the way! That's a great data point for anyone worried AI tools are English-only or won't handle iterative refinement well in other languages.
I'll admit, I normally use ChatGPT for my image generation, but seeing how well Storyline's built-in AI Assistant handled precise positioning and targeted edits like recoloring has me thinking I should give it another look for my next project!
Thanks SMcNicol for your comment. In fact, writing a prompt directly in French is a major advantage. Usually, I would write directly in English, or when the content was more complex to describe, I would use DeepL for translation. I also tried creating prompts using Poe, first in French, then translated into English. But now, I wrote everything in French in Storyline.
However, if I want to create an image using "Insert Picture with AI assistant" from the Insert tab, I'll usually enter the prompt in English. It's only in the AI Assistant (beta) tab that I do it in French.
