Create with AI: Theme color, images, image style
I really enjoy working with the 'Create with AI' feature in Rise 360. The results you get through the prompt assistant are honestly quite impressive. However, I’ve run into a few minor challenges, and I was wondering if anyone here has found a workaround for them yet.
Theme Color Ignored: Even when I explicitly state in the prompt that the theme color should be set to a specific hex code (for example, #235a64), Rise completely ignores it.
Image Style Ignored: The AI also seems to disregard image styles specified in the prompt. For instance, if I explicitly ask for 'painterly style', the generated images still always turn out photorealistic.
Lack of True Diversity: This is something I’ve noticed not just when generating full AI courses, but even when generating AI images. When I prompt for a "diverse group of employees," it does include men and women and usually two different skin tones, but the people are almost always 'young and attractive'. The men usually have beards, and the women have long hair. True diversity across generations, or even women with short hair, is rarely represented.
Are you experiencing the same issues, and have you perhaps found any solutions or clever prompting tricks to solve this?
Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for the feedback on how we can improve AI Course Drafts in Rise 360. Allow me to address each of your requests individually.
Theme Color Ignored:
Currently, AI Course Drafts does not support changing the Theme Color. Authors must set the color manually after the drafting process is complete. I can see the value in having this functionality, and I've submitted this as a feature request on your behalf.
Image Style Ignored:
From my experience, AI Assistant has consistently respected the image style I've selected when prompting. Here's a quick screen recording of AI Image generation with the 'Painterly' style selected.
On 05/20/26-05/21/26, we experienced an outage that caused intermittent image generation failures for some users. Is it possible that you noticed this behavior during that timeframe?
Lack of True Diversity:
I completely understand the need for inclusive representation, and we want the content created with Rise to reflect the diversity of real-world learners and workplaces. I've shared your feedback with our development team so they're aware of the specific patterns you're seeing. In the meantime, instead of 'diverse employees,' try explicitly describing:
- Age ranges
- Hairstyles
- Body types
- Less common visual attributes
I'll also open the floor to our community so they can share their AI design suggestions with you!
Thank you for your answers and for passing the topics on to the development team.
Regarding the image styles: I didn’t have any issues when generating a single image. I created an entire course using the “Create with AI” feature and specified in the prompt that the images should be generated in painterly style. This does not work consistently, and in some of the image prompts—which I can look at afterwards once the course has been created—the AI also used the term “photorealistic,” which explains the (unwanted) result.
You're welcome, Klaus
Thank you for providing the extra details. I've shared your additional insights with our product team as well!
StevenBenassi Similarly, ask Product to consider this use case:
I've duplicated the default course, "Getting Started with Rise 360", and changed its Theme to my company's branding and accessibility guidelines (Colors, Fonts, Blocks). Then I duplicate that and create courses.
But the Create with AI button sits outside the course, and its template. So if I click that to create a course, it has no template yet.
As a feature request in Rise 360, when I click the Create with AI button, could you give us the option to choose my template and have the rest of the Create with AI process put the results in my template?
Super nice-to-have would be if it allowed use of custom blocks (for example, formatted buttons).Hi PTep,
I'm happy to share these requests with our product team.
You mentioned the use of Custom Blocks as formatted buttons. Is that more about visual consistency, or are those Blocks tied to specific accessibility requirements for your organization?
Having context around real-world workflows and limitations helps our team make more informed decisions when prioritizing new features.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
