Generation process

When you access the wallpaper generation interface, you're shown a selection of suggested AI wallpapers. These are automatically generated and may guide you toward your final choice.

If none of the suggestions match your preferences, you can place a custom text prompt to generate a new set of wallpapers.

Meta AI will then process the prompt and produce variations based on the description, offering you greater control over specific elements like colors or themes.
