The idea for this experimental project, which I am going to demonstrate in this blog article, came to me from the Office Works website. Here's how it all happened. As a hobbyist landscape photographer, I have accumulated hundreds of images over the years. Recently, I decided to print these photos in a 10x12" photo book. I immediately checked the Office Works website to see if they offer such a service, and I was in luck. Office Works has an incredible platform that allows customers to easily create photo books using their online editor. While I was able to accomplish what I wanted, there was one feature that I was missing but would be nice to have the ability to sort all of the images based on their colours. In my case, I uploaded 160 images, and manually sorting all of them was a bit tedious.

I had an idea to create an image-to-text automation tool for writing descriptions for my images. As a hobby landscape photographer, I have a lot of images, and this tool would speed up my workflow when posting on Instagram. I thought, "Well, I am a software developer. I can develop something like that very quickly, right?" I only need to add my credit card details to OpenAI, and then I can start using their API. This sounds simple enough. Well, let's discuss how it all went. Imagine attaching an image and then starting a conversation with an AI assistant about the description you need help writing for that image. It would look something like this.
