Build apps with OpenAI Image Generation API and Supabase Edge Functions
AI Summary
The video demonstrates building a demo application using OpenAI’s image generation features integrated with Supabase for backend storage and Lovable for creating a quick, beautiful front-end UI. The presenter walks through the UI which allows users to upload images and enter prompts for image generation or editing. Using the OpenAI API, the app can generate images from prompts, edit existing images, or mask certain parts for editing. The backend uses Supabase edge functions to handle communication with OpenAI API and storage of images. The workflow includes uploading images to Supabase storage, converting images to OpenAI-compatible files, calling the image edit or generate API, converting the result back to blobs, storing them in Supabase, and returning URLs for display. The video also covers customizing prompts and the app’s extensibility. This serves as a solid starter guide for developers looking to build apps using the new OpenAI image generation capabilities with practical coding examples linked in the description.
