■ What is Interactive AI Creative Agent 'Mio.2'?
'Mio.2' is an interactive AI image generation agent developed by PixAI. Just open the chat and convey what you have in mind; 'Mio.2' will shape it with you. If you're not satisfied, simply tell it what to change. You can adjust as many times as needed until you're convinced.
Even if you haven't decided what to draw yet, it's no problem. Starting a conversation in 'Idea Generation Mode' allows 'Mio.2' to support organizing ideas and suggesting directions. You can progress consistently from the conception stage to the completion of the work within a single conversation.
It supports Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, and is equipped with the latest flagship model 'Tsubaki.2,' specialized in anime and 2D styles.
■ Use Case 1: Character Design — Complete an OC in One Conversation
Just tell 'Mio.2' to 'Draw Mio with a cat-ear helmet and a spacesuit,' and the character design begins. Once the style is decided, you can develop the following within the same conversation:
- Three-view drawing: Generate front, side, and back views with unified proportions.
- Expression variants: Develop joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure tailored to the character's personality.
- Chibi characters: Switch the character's head-to-body ratio to generate a deformed version.
- D&D cards: Output in a unified art style for TRPG/TCG card formats.
Previously, settings had to be redone from scratch for each step, but 'Mio.2' automatically maintains character consistency within a single conversation.
■ Use Case 2: Outfit Swap & Background Change — Keeping Face and Body Intact
Upload a reference image and say 'I want a maid outfit,' 'add cat ears,' or 'change to a uniform.' Only the instructed parts are changed, while the face, body type, and art style remain the same. The same applies to background changes. If you say 'Draw Mio fishing around the world,' the character remains consistent across scenes from Iceland to Okinawa.
Furthermore, you can start from designing the outfit itself. Conveying an image like 'I want to design a mermaid-themed dress with an icy blue satin bustier...' generates a fashion design sheet, which can then be applied to the character.
■ Use Case 3: Manga Paneling and Continuous Story Generation
Starting from a single sentence like 'A girl who found a magic book in a ruined library is drawn into another world—I want to build this story together,' Mio.2 automatically structures the story by scene...
