Armed with this newfound knowledge, you’ll embark on a myriad of exciting new adventures, delving into the vast possibilities of AI image generation and automation. So, let’s move forward, and allow the magic of automation to transform your journey!

Workflow Overview

When dealing with a substantial list of prompts for image generation, a practical strategy is to save them in a file named 'prompts.txt.' Once you've organized your prompts and set up your Python script, simply head to your Discord server channel and type 'automation.' This command will kick off the GUI automation process, enabling Python to start sending messages to the Midjourney Bot via the Discord chat console.

To ensure smooth automation, keep Discord open, allowing the Python script to execute its send commands without interruptions. It's also essential to refrain from using your computer during the automation process, as any unintended interactions may disrupt the script's operation.

A clever tactic to maximize this automation system's capabilities is to run it overnight. While you sleep, the Python script will diligently work in the background, processing your prompts and generating an array of stunning AI-created images. When you awaken, your automation journey will have concluded, leaving you with a collection of images to admire and explore.

Prerequisites:

To get started, follow the steps outlined in my previous article for configuring your Discord Server and Application Bot.

To install the necessary libraries for this Python script, open your terminal or command prompt and execute the following command:

pip install discord.py python-dotenv pyautogui

Create a text file named prompts.txt and save it in the same directory as your Python script. Add your desired prompts, one per line, in the text file. Here’s a sample:

sunny beach in Florida, --v 5 --ar 2:1

teddy bear illustration, --v 5 --ar 2:3

ship illustration, --v 5 --ar 2:3

Python Code Example

import time

import discord

from discord.ext import commands

from dotenv import load_dotenv

import pyautogui as pg

discord_token = "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN"

# Using readlines()

with open('prompts.txt', 'r') as prompt_file:

prompts = prompt_file.readlines()

prompt_counter = 0

load_dotenv()

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="*", intents=discord.Intents.all())

@client.event

async def on_ready():

print("Bot connected")

@client.event

async def on_message(message):

global prompt_counter

msg = message.content

print(message)

while prompt_counter < len(prompts):

# Start Automation by typing "automation" in the discord channel

if msg == 'automation':

time.sleep(3)

pg.press('tab')

for i in range(1):

time.sleep(3)

pg.write('/imagine')

time.sleep(5)

pg.press('tab')

pg.write(prompts[prompt_counter])

time.sleep(3)

pg.press('enter')

time.sleep(5)

prompt_counter += 1

# Continue Automation as soon Midjourney bot sends a message with attachment.

for attachment in message.attachments:

time.sleep(3)

pg.write('/imagine')

time.sleep(5)

pg.press('tab')

pg.write(prompts[prompt_counter])

time.sleep(3)

pg.press('enter')

time.sleep(5)

prompt_counter += 1

# Stop Automation once all prompts are completed

quit()

client.run(discord_token)

This Python script automates sending prompts to a Discord bot, which then generates images based on those prompts. Key components of the script include:

• Importing necessary libraries: The script utilizes time, discord, commands from discord.ext, load_dotenv from dotenv, and pyautogui as pg.
• Setting up the Discord bot token: Replace "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN" with your unique Discord bot token.
• Reading prompts from a text file: The script reads prompts from 'prompts.txt' and stores them in a list.
• Initializing the bot and connecting to Discord: Environment variables are loaded, a command prefix is defined, and the bot connects to Discord.
• Defining events: The script includes an on_ready event that runs when the bot connects, and an on_message event that triggers automation when a message containing 'automation' is received.
• Automating the prompt sending process: The script loops through the prompts list, waits for the 'automation' message to start, and utilizes pyautogui to send the command '/imagine' followed by the prompt.
• Ending the automation: Once all prompts are processed, the script exits.

As we wrap up this exhilarating journey into automating Midjourney AI image generation using Python and GUI techniques, it’s time for you to embark on your own adventure. With the knowledge and methods shared in this guide, you're now ready to take your AI image generation endeavors to unprecedented levels.
