Starting from a single group purchase image, I built an image generation workflow in Codex.

Recently, I built an image generation workflow in Codex specifically for beauty industry group purchases. The initial requirement was specific: create store entry images, carousel banners, group purchase header images, and detail pages. Later, when changing packages, updating copy, or adjusting styles, the workflow could be reused. Truly executing this project made me realize that to make it usable, I needed to streamline processes before and after image generation: how to organize source data, how to maintain style consistency, how to record modifications, and finally, how to check and deliver results.

As I worked through the project, I realized that to make it truly effective, I needed to streamline everything from data organization and style consistency to revision tracking, quality checks, and final delivery. I've documented this setup process and considered whether it could evolve into a small business venture. To start, I outlined exactly what kind of images a single store needs...
