Hello Miro Community!

Hope I’m not missing something obvious here.  :-P 

Had high hopes I could configure the Action Shortcut button to generate an image based on stickies within a source frame.  Unfortunately what is generated was completely disconnected to what’s in the frame.  I’ve tried turning the stickies into Text, Jira Cards, a Doc, etc., and none seem to get “picked up” by the AI image generator.  

Given the “Source (Optional)” option stays active when you select “Image” in the dropdown above, and frames are your only Source options, what exactly can the AI pull from the Source frame?  

Any thoughts?

I think the confusing part here is what Miro actually considers the content of the source frame. If the stickies or text aren't being interpreted as prompt input, it would be helpful to know exactly which objects the image action can read. I’ve also been experimenting with simpler image-generation workflows where text is turned directly into a visual, such as a bratgenerator, so I can see why having the source frame work as expected would be useful.
