Images with artificial intelligence
Last updated:
Translated from the Italian guide. Narciso itself is in Italian, so the names of buttons, menus and fields are shown exactly as they appear on screen, with a translation in brackets where it helps.
In the Designer you can create an image from a written description. It is the only artificial intelligence function inside the editor and it is paid for in credits (AI credits). The image comes only from the text you write: you cannot upload a photo (for example of a client) to «transform».
Contents
Where to find it#
Immagini ▸ AI (the third icon at the top right, brain-shaped). The panel shows:
- the Cerca immagini... (Search images...) bar (filters creations by name);
- the grid of your creations: the latest 50 of the active location. With no creations: Nessuna creazione — Usa CrazyLab o Impazzisci per creare con l'AI (No creations — Use CrazyLab or Impazzisci to create with the AI) (a click on the box opens CrazyLab);
- at the bottom a notebook-style strip with the words CRAZYLAB: one click opens the writing drawer, another closes it.
Generating from a description#
- Open CRAZYLAB.
- Write the description in the Descrivi l'immagine che vuoi generare... (Describe the image you want to generate...) field: better if detailed (subject, light, style, framing). You can write in Italian.
- Press Genera (Generate). The button is off if the field is empty or a generation is already in progress.
- The drawer closes and a dashed box Generazione in corso... (Generation in progress...) appears in the grid: it usually takes a few seconds, sometimes a few tens.
- The image appears at the top of the grid. A click inserts it into the active board.
Cost: 30 credits per image. The cost is deducted before generation. If the image fails, the credits are refunded except 15 (see the errors below).
Impazzisci: the inspiration postcards#
Impazzisci (Go wild) opens the inspiration postcards: ready-made ideas (subjects from the fashion, beauty and hair world) with a few questions to personalise them. Opening and browsing the postcards is free: the 30 credits are paid only at the final generation.
- Press Impazzisci (while it works the button shows Pensando... (Thinking...)). A postcard opens with the cover photo and the title.
- Browse with the side arrows (Ispirazione Precedente (Previous Inspiration) / Ispirazione Successiva (Next Inspiration)) or with the ← and → keys.
- The little star on the photo (Metti in evidenza (Highlight) / Togli dai preferiti (Remove from favourites)) marks favourite postcards: they are yours, per user; the postcard that opens first is chosen at random among your favourites, if you have any.
- Clicking the photo shows it full screen in a new tab.
- Press Crea (Create) (or Spazio, Space). The postcard asks one question at a time: you write the answer (Scrivi qui la tua risposta... (Write your answer here...)) and press Invio (Enter) or Procedi ➔ (Proceed). Maiusc+Invio (Shift+Enter) starts a new line; ← Indietro (Back) goes back to the previous question, ← Annulla (Cancel) to the postcard.
- At the last question the button becomes Genera ✨: the postcard closes and generation starts by itself.
- Answers can be left empty: placeholders that are not filled in are ignored, but the cost stays at 30 credits.
- To close the postcard you click outside (there is no Esc key).
In the grid these creations appear with the name Da ispirazione (From inspiration).
Managing creations#
- A click on a creation inserts it into the active board.
- The bin at the top right (when you hold the mouse over it) deletes the creation for ever, without asking for confirmation.
- Creations are kept on the server, remain after reloading and are visible to users of the same location.

After an error it is worth checking the balance from the profile box (AI credits). If the image was generated but not saved, reload the page and check that it is still in the list before considering it safe.
