Use Cases

Visual content scenarios solved

Discover how AI agents leverage Unsplash to deliver stunning visuals during conversations, from design projects to marketing campaigns.

Instant Stock Photo Selection for Designers

A designer asks the chatbot for hero images for a tech startup landing page. Your AI Agent searches Unsplash for relevant technology and workspace photos, filters by landscape orientation, and presents five options with download links and photographer credits. The designer picks one and moves on, saving 20 minutes of manual browsing.

Social Media Content Creation On The Fly

A marketing manager needs a fresh image for today's Instagram post about wellness. Your AI Agent searches Unsplash for wellness-themed portrait photos, returns options with proper aspect ratios for Instagram, and provides the direct download URL. The manager grabs the image and posts it, all from a single conversation.

Blog Post Visual Enhancement

A content writer finishing a blog about remote work asks for relevant header images. Your AI Agent searches Unsplash for home office and remote work photography, presents curated results with metadata, and supplies the attribution text required by Unsplash guidelines. The writer inserts the image without leaving their workflow.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent search Unsplash photos during a conversation?

The agent uses Unsplash's search endpoint with the customer's keywords, orientation preferences, and color filters. Results come back with thumbnails, full-resolution URLs, photographer info, and download links, all presented conversationally to the customer.

Do I need to handle Unsplash attribution when using photos through Tars?

Yes. Unsplash requires proper attribution per their API guidelines. The agent automatically includes photographer name and Unsplash credit with every photo result, making compliance effortless for your team.

What are the rate limits for the Unsplash integration?

Unsplash allows 50 requests per hour in demo mode and 5,000 per hour with production approval. For most customer-facing agents, production access is recommended. Apply through the Unsplash developer portal to unlock higher limits.

Can the agent filter images by specific dimensions or file size?

The agent filters by orientation (landscape, portrait, squarish) and retrieves images at multiple resolutions. Unsplash provides raw, full, regular, small, and thumb sizes for every photo, so the agent serves the right resolution for each use case.

Does Tars download or store Unsplash images?

No. Tars queries the Unsplash API in real time and returns URLs to the images. Photos are served directly from Unsplash's CDN. No images are downloaded to or cached on Tars servers.

How is this different from manually searching unsplash.com?

Instead of leaving your conversation to browse a separate website, your AI agent brings the entire Unsplash library into the chat. Customers describe what they need in natural language and get curated results instantly, without navigating search interfaces or switching tabs.

Can the agent search within specific Unsplash collections?

Yes. If you have curated Unsplash collections for your brand or project, the agent can search within specific collection IDs. This narrows results to pre-approved visual styles that match your brand guidelines.

What happens if no photos match the customer's request?

The agent handles empty results gracefully by suggesting alternative keywords, broadening the search criteria, or offering to search with different filters. Customers always receive helpful next steps rather than a dead end.
