IMAGE UNDERSTANDING · Workflow idea

Help people make sense of an image they share.

When someone shares an image in a selected conversation, prepare a text description of its visible content and return the summary in that same conversation. Keep the response useful but cautious, and route moderation concerns or consequential questions to a person for review.

  2. Check that the picture can be reviewed

    Identify missing, unreadable, or unsupported images and ask the sender to try again when needed.

  3. Prepare a plain-language description

    Summarize visible elements without claiming to know details that cannot be confirmed from the image alone.

  4. Return the description to the sender

    Reply in the conversation where the image was shared so the sender can use or correct the description.

    Bring uncertain identity, moderation, or other sensitive concerns to a responsible human reviewer.

The handoff

A concise text description in the original conversation, with an option for a person to review uncertain or sensitive content.

Keep in mind

A description can misidentify people or objects and miss context, including sensitive or harmful material. Share images only with appropriate permission, limit who can view them, avoid relying on descriptions for consequential decisions, and have a person handle moderation concerns.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the conversation and intended audience

Select where people may submit images and who is allowed to see the resulting descriptions.

Set image privacy and permission rules

Explain what happens to submitted pictures, restrict access, and ask people to share only images they may provide.

Define sensitive-content handoff

Decide which requests or images require a human moderator and where they should be reviewed privately.

Test varied images and uncertain results

Check clear, unreadable, and sensitive examples to confirm descriptions remain cautious and appropriate cases reach a person.
