SnapAI is a command-line interface tool designed for React Native and Expo developers to generate app icons using OpenAI's image generation models. It streamlines the process of creating professional-quality icons quickly and efficiently, catering to developers who need custom icons without extensive design work.

How It Works

SnapAI leverages OpenAI's DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3, and GPT-Image-1 models to generate images based on user-provided text prompts. The CLI allows users to specify models, sizes, quality settings, and output formats, offering flexibility for various use cases. Its design prioritizes developer workflow, enabling integration into CI/CD pipelines and batch generation for multiple icon variations.
