AITOMO AI Image Generation: Steps, Point Costs, and Storage

AITOMO has a feature that generates AI images based on your conversation. Instead of writing long prompts the way dedicated image-generation services require, the basic approach is to convey the scene and the expression through your conversation with a character.
This article explains how to use the feature and what to watch out for, limited to what can be confirmed as of November 13, 2026 from AITOMO (app v1.20.2), the official FAQ, and operating notices. Generation time and image quality are not guaranteed.
TL;DR
- Just describe a scene in the conversation and an image is created. A scene image (asking for a photo) costs 200pt; character image generation costs 40–150pt depending on the model
- Avatar generation comes in two tiers, standard 60pt / premium 150pt (Premium Plus only), and AI character auto-generation costs 20pt
- Scene videos (5 or 8 seconds, 480p/720p) can be generated for 800–2,000pt
- AI-generated images are automatically deleted after 30 days. Save anything you want to keep before the deadline
- The key is to describe four elements separately: place, time, action, and expression
What you can do: image generation types and point costs
AITOMO's image generation falls broadly into four categories.
| Feature | What it creates | Approximate cost |
|---|---|---|
| Scene image | The two-shot photo you create by asking "send me a photo" during the conversation | 200pt |
| Character image generation | Images of a character generated inside a chat | 40–150pt depending on the model |
| Avatar generation | A character avatar (standing art, icon) | Standard 60pt / premium 150pt (Premium Plus only) |
| AI character auto-generation | AI proposes character ideas from the details you set | 20pt |
For character image generation, you can choose from several models, from a fast model (40pt) through a standard high-quality model (60pt) up to the highest-quality model (150pt, Premium Plus only). Model names and prices can change, so check what the app shows before you run it.
There is also scene video generation, which animates a generated image (see below).
Basic steps: creating an image from a conversation
- Open a conversation with the character you want in the image
- Convey the place, time, and action within the conversation
- Add an expression or clothing details if needed
- Run image generation and confirm the point cost
- Review the result, then re-generate rephrasing only what needs to change

For example, "we're at a café" is enough to generate something, but splitting the elements like this makes your intent clearer:
At a window-side café in the evening, smiling happily in front of a birthday cake
This is not a professional image-generation prompt; it is a way of describing the situation to your conversation partner. If you want a photographic look, ask along the lines of "send me a photo" or "let's take a two-shot", and it will be generated as a scene image (200pt).
The four elements that make results easier to compare
Place
Pick a single place for the background, such as a park, classroom, beach, or café.
Time and light
Adding morning, dusk, night, or a rainy day makes it easier to tell scenes apart even in the same place.
Action
Rather than "standing", narrow it down to one action such as "walking with an umbrella" or "blowing out the candles on a cake".
Expression
Specify a smile, surprise, or a worried look. Comparing one emotion at a time makes changes easier to check than packing several feelings in at once.
Avatar generation and AI character auto-generation
Two generation features come in handy when creating original characters.
- Avatar generation: creates a character avatar. You choose between two tiers, the standard model (60pt, fast) and the premium model (150pt, Premium Plus only). Every remake consumes points, so deciding the direction with the standard model first and finishing with premium keeps the cost down
- AI character auto-generation (20pt): AI proposes a starting point for the name and settings. A good first step if writing a character from scratch feels like too much

Scene videos: turning an image into a 5- or 8-second video
A scene generated in conversation can be turned into a short video (as of app v1.20.2).
- Length: 5 or 8 seconds
- Resolution: 480p or 720p
- Motion setting: besides automatic, you can pick movements such as smile, look back, approach, wink, or a light breeze
- Motion note: add fine-grained instructions of up to 120 characters
- Approximate cost: 800–2,000pt (a combination of the 800pt base + 400pt for 720p + 800pt for 8 seconds)
Video generation is a point-heavy feature. Fixing the composition and mood with a still image first (scene image, 200pt) keeps the number of attempts down.
When the image misses your intent
With AI image generation, requested elements can drop out, people or small objects can come out distorted, and the same character's look can change between generations.
When regenerating, instead of keep adding more text, fix things in this order:
- Confirm the required characters and places one at a time
- Trim anything unnecessary
- Name only the part you want changed
- Check the point cost, then run it again
About repeated generation
Generating the same scene over and over consumes points. Pinning the scene down in text conversation first makes it easier to keep the number of attempts low.
Storage-period caution
AI-generated images and chat images are automatically deleted after 30 days per the operating notices (chat voice, 7 days). Save your favorites to your device before the deletion deadline. Images kept in association with a character, such as avatars, are not affected.
How AITOMO differs from other character apps
Creating images from conversation is not unique to AITOMO.
- zeta: its official store listing advertises image generation based on conversation content
- MiraiMind: offers AI image generation alongside chat and character creation
- Replika: advertises image generation as a feature of Pro and above
The difference is not only whether image generation exists, but which characters you can use, how settings and conversation carry into the image, and whether pricing uses points, currency, or a subscription.
With AITOMO, it is worth confirming that you can create images within a conversation experience that includes VOICEVOX characters, and that the service uses a point system, before choosing. For the full comparison, see "AI Voice and Character Chat Apps Compared".
FAQ
Q. How many points does image generation consume? A scene image generated as a photo within the conversation is 200pt. Character image generation is 40–150pt depending on the model (highest quality is Premium Plus only), avatar generation is 60pt or 150pt, AI character auto-generation is 20pt, and scene videos run 800–2,000pt.
Q. Can I create images with free points? Yes. The 500pt you receive when you sign up covers two scene images, or roughly a dozen generations with the fast model. You can also top up through rewarded ads and the daily gacha.
Q. How long do generated images remain? AI-generated and chat images are automatically deleted after 30 days (chat voice, 7 days). Save any image you want to keep to your device before the deadline.
Q. Are points refunded if generation fails? If an image cannot be generated, points are refunded in principle. As with clone voice creation, the service documents automatic refunds on failure. If you are concerned, pin the scene down in text conversation first, then generate.
