The next run: 1,496 images, each used on thousands of sites
IMAGE-BRAIN, 8 Oct 2026. Drafted from the value catalogue: every image here is asked for by a block. Draft only: brain/draft/run-8.jsonl, not sent.
The rule for what's worth generating
- Reused, not one-off: it fits every business, or every business of a kind, never one site.
- Code can't make it: icons, colours, patterns from dots and lines, and layouts are code. Things, places and textures are images.
- Made once, varied by code: recolour, crop, flip, invert, recompose, print their name on it. So no palette copies, and no fake photos of their premises or work.
What it makes
| Kind | Images | Reach | Blocks that use it | Example prompt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Their name on things A cup, bag, box, card or apron with a blank label; the site prints the business name on it. | 500 | Universal ones fit every business; family ones fit every café, every spa… One blank cup serves the ~30,000 cafés with no site in our 4 cities alone, each with its own name. | Their name on things · share card · gift card · stamp card | Clean commercial photograph, soft natural light, true colours, crisp edges, bright day: a paper takeaway bag, with ONE large, completely blank, flat label area (plain off-white, no marks, no text) facing the camera squarely, so a name can be printed onto it la… |

Recomposed per site, so neighbours never match. | Menu cards · what should I order · memory match · catch game · blog covers · weather pick (hot vs iced) | Clean commercial photograph, soft natural light, true colours, crisp edges: a Vietnamese phin filter on a glass, alone, centred, filling about 60% of the frame, on a pure white seamless background with a soft contact shadow only, so it can be cut out cleanly.… |

Order
- First, today: the Women's Day 20/10 festival set (12 days away), and 20 carriers as a test, then a page showing a real Da Nang café's name on a cup, a bag and an awning.
- Then: objects and city packs for cafés, Vietnamese food, beauty and spa, the biggest families.
- Then the rest: about 500 kept in reserve to re-make whatever review cuts and to extend what works (more cities, retail objects).
Not made any more
Palette copies of the same picture · photoreal rooms, shopfronts or "their" work · per-industry long-tail scenes · anything for dispensaries · icons (the kit's animated icons do that).
The blocks themselves are with SISO-AGENCY as ask t-0535: build them into the site kit, first five open-now, holiday, weather pick, how to get here and their name on things.
