How to keep a consistent AI character in every image

To keep a consistent AI character, product or background across images in Sloosh, save it once as an Element with a short tag, then type @ and that tag in any Studio prompt. The element joins your references, so the model sees the same picture every time, and the same person turns up in each new scene.

Elements are the pictures and clips you want to use again: a character, a pose, a background, your product. They live in Assets. Switch the view from Generations to Elements, and each card shows its tag underneath, such as @arjun.

Save it once, use it anywhere

1. Open Assets and switch to Elements

Assets in the top bar holds everything your workspace makes. Generations is the full history; Elements is what you chose to keep. Filter Elements by category or type, or search by name.

2. Add a generation to Elements

Open the menu on any generation and pick Add to Elements. A short window asks for two things.

3. Give it a short tag and a category

Type a tag you'll remember, like arjun or red-sneakers. Pick a category: Character, Pose, Background or Others. Press Add.

4. Or upload your own photos and clips

Press Upload in Elements to add images or videos you already have. Characters you build in AI Influencer show up here too, under their own filter.

5. Type @ in a Studio prompt

Open Studio, type @ and start typing the tag. Pick it from the list, and the element joins your references with its tag right where you typed.

6. Say what to do with it, then Generate

Write the rest of the prompt around the tag and press Generate. This is the prompt from the video:

Put @arjun at a sunlit cafe table, holding a tan leather tote

The same person turns up in a brand new scene. Keep the tag and change the rest of the sentence, and you can put that character in a studio, on a street or at a beach without uploading the photo again.

Tag more than one element

You can tag several elements in one prompt and give each a job. This example is from the Tag with @ guide:

Put @red-sneakers on the runner in @street-runner. Keep the shoe's colour and laces exactly as they are.

Each tag counts toward the model's reference limit. If the model has no room left, Studio tells you and adds nothing. The References guide lists how many each model takes.

Pick the right category

The category decides where an element shows up when you filter, so pick the one that matches its job in a prompt:

• Character: a person you want to see again, such as a model, a founder or a mascot.
• Pose: a body position to copy onto a character.
• Background: a place or set to drop things into.
• Others: everything else, including your products and props.

Uploads land in the category you're filtering by when you upload, or in Others. You can move an element later from its menu.

Elements or a one-off reference?

You don't need an Element for every picture. If you'll use an image once, add it as a plain reference from the + menu under the prompt, or drag it onto the page. Save it as an Element when you'll want it again next week: the tag saves you hunting through Generations, and your team sees the same tag in the shared library.

Manage your elements

An element's menu has Edit details, to rename its tag or change its category, and Delete. Rename a tag whenever you like: prompts that already use it won't break. Remove a reference from a prompt and its tag leaves the prompt too.

Elements in Spacelab

Typing @ works in a Spacelab Prompt node as well. The list shows the references wired into the model first, then your Elements under From library. Picking one adds an input node holding it and wires it into the model for you. How Spacelab works covers the canvas, and How to build your first AI image workflow walks through a full build.
