## Best Practices

### Photo Input Tips
- **Clear face visibility**: Ensure face is well-lit and clearly visible
- **Front-facing preferred**: Best results with front or slight angle photos
- **Good resolution**: Higher resolution input = better output quality
- **Neutral background**: Simpler backgrounds help isolate the subject

### Prompt Tips for Avatars
1. **Specify style clearly**: Cartoon, 3D, realistic, anime, etc.
2. **Describe desired features**: Lighting, expression, pose
3. **Mention the platform**: LinkedIn, Instagram, gaming - affects optimization
4. **Include background preferences**: Studio, gradient, themed, etc.
5. **Request consistency**: For multiple avatars, use session_id and reference previous outputs

### Style Consistency
For creating multiple avatars of the same person:
- Use `session_id` to maintain context across requests
- Reference previous generations when requesting new poses
- Be specific about which features to keep consistent

## Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

**"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"**

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|------|----------|-------|---------|
| `max` | Final avatars, professional headshots, detailed fantasy characters | Slower | Highest |
| `eco` | Quick previews, style exploration, bulk variations | Faster | Good |

## Multi-Turn Avatar Refinement

Use `session_id` to iterate and refine your avatar:

```bash
# Initial avatar
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a professional avatar from this photo",
    "session_id": "my-avatar-project",
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/my-photo.jpg"]
  }'

# Refine based on feedback
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Make the lighting warmer and add a slight smile",
    "session_id": "my-avatar-project"
  }'

# Try a different style
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Can you make a cartoon version of this same avatar?",
    "session_id": "my-avatar-project"
  }'
```

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `Failed to create prediction: HTTP 422` | Insufficient balance | Top up at eachlabs.ai |
| Content policy violation | Prohibited content | Ensure photo and prompt comply with content policies |
| Timeout | Complex generation | Set client timeout to minimum 10 minutes |
| Poor likeness | Low quality input | Use higher resolution, well-lit photo with clear face |
