Since macOS 15.2 we can use Image Playground in our applications. The users love to generate an image with Apple Intelligence. Whether you need a cool image to add to a social post, a placeholder image for some operation, the AI can just generate something based on a few keywords.

Our [ImagePlayground](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_ImagePlayground.shtml) functions add this functionality to FileMaker. You create the image playground, configure it with maybe a few concept phrases, a source image and then show it. We recommend to show it from a button somewhere in the user interface.

```auto
# create the controller
Set Variable [$r ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.Create")]
# clear words and then add more
Set Variable [$r ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.ClearConcepts")]
Set Variable [$r ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.AddConcept"; "Cat")]
Set Variable [$r ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.AddExtractedConcept"; "Mountains with trees"; "Waldberge")]
# set the script trigger
Set Variable [$r ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.SetScriptTrigger"; Get(FileName); "ImageTrigger")]
# show the popover
Set Variable [$r ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.Present")]

```

You implement the script trigger and when the CreatedImage parameter is passed, you can pick up the image with the [ImagePlayground.Image](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/ImagePlaygroundImage.shtml) function. Just load and display it like our example database.

```auto
Set Variable [$param ; Value: Get(ScriptParameter)]
# Check whether we got something
If [$param = "Created"]
    Set Variable [$image ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.Image")]
    New Record/Request
    Set Field [Assets::Image ; $image]
    Commit Records/Requests [With dialog: Off]
End If
#
# cleanup memory
Set Variable [$r ; Value: MBS("ImagePlayground.Release")]

```

Please try with 14.6pr4 [MBS FileMaker Plugin](https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/) and check the example database. Maybe before, check system preferences to enable Apple Intelligence if possible.
