The agent passes dynamic data (text, image URLs, colors) into Placid template layers via the API. Placid renders the final visual server-side and returns a URL to the generated image. The agent shares this URL with the customer or stores it for downstream use. The design template stays reusable for future generations.

Placid supports images (PNG, JPEG), PDFs, and videos. The agent can trigger generation of any format your templates support. For example, a single template design could produce both a social media image and a PDF certificate depending on the output format requested.

Yes. Design your templates in Placid's drag-and-drop editor with dynamic placeholders for text, images, and other elements. Once saved, the agent accesses those templates through the API and fills the placeholders with data from customer conversations. Design and automation stay separate but connected.

Tars does not permanently store generated visuals. Placid hosts the rendered output at a URL, which the agent shares during the conversation. The storage and retention of generated files are managed by Placid according to your Placid plan settings. You can also configure the agent to save files to your own storage.

The agent uses Placid's collections and tags features. Each template can be tagged with campaign names, formats, or brand identifiers. When the agent needs a specific template, it browses collections or filters by tag. Custom metadata can also store campaign IDs or owner information for additional organization.

Placid is built specifically for programmatic creative generation. While Canva focuses on interactive design, Placid's strength is automation. Templates render server-side without user interaction, making it ideal for AI agents that need to generate visuals on the fly from data. No human needs to click 'download.'

Tars needs your Placid API token, which you generate from your Placid account. Enter it in the Tars Tools section. The token is encrypted and stored securely. It grants access to your template library and generation capabilities. You can regenerate it anytime from Placid settings.

Both. The agent can create new templates via Placid's API by specifying dimensions, title, tags, and custom metadata. However, the visual design of template layers (adding text fields, images, shapes) is done in Placid's editor. The API handles template management; the editor handles the visual design.
