Current AI workflow is broken: • Generate image → switch to different tool → upload → configure parameters → single edit → download • Want another change? Start over. Different style? New tool. Iterate? Good luck.
Why can't image creation work like a conversation?
That's exactly what we built: https://hiflux.ai
The core insight: treat images like chat messages. Upload, generate, or quote any result to continue creating. No tool switching, no starting over.
Technical breakthrough was building "chat with images as threads":
*Multi-model architecture:* • FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]: unified generation + editing (Premium) • FLUX.1 Krea [dev]: opinionated text-to-image with distinctive aesthetics • FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]: context-aware editing that understands "change this, keep that" • Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image): multi-image fusion + character consistency
*Engineering challenges solved:* • Priority queue system: Free users ~20s, Plus ~6s, Premium ~2s • Pipeline optimization: parse → understand context → preserve → transform • 27-language support with semantic consistency • Zero-retention privacy (process in real-time, delete immediately)
Real workflow now: 1. "A sunset over mountains" → generates image 2. Click result → "make the sky more purple" 3. Quote previous → "add a lake in the foreground" 4. Continue iterating in one conversation thread

Most interesting technical details I'm happy to discuss: • How we maintain lighting consistency across edits • Multi-language prompt engineering • Building priority queues that feel instant • Why conversation threads work better than separate tools
