Generate and Quality Control Images with DALL-E 2 and Human Review Loop

Description

This n8n workflow automates the process of generating AI images using OpenAI's DALL-E 2 model with built-in human review and quality control. The workflow creates an image based on a predefined prompt, sends it for human review, and if the image is rejected, automatically generates a new version with an improved prompt. This is perfect for content creators, marketers, or anyone who needs high-quality AI-generated images with human oversight to ensure they meet specific standards.

Key Features:
Automated image generation using DALL-E 2
Human-in-the-loop review process
Automatic regeneration if images are rejected
Customizable prompts and review criteria
Quality assurance workflow

Paste your API key and save as "OpenAI account"

Step 2: Set Up GotoHuman Credentials

Visit GotoHuman and create an account
Navigate to your API settings/dashboard
Generate an API key
In n8n, go to Credentials → Add Credential → GotoHuman API
Enter your API credentials and save as "gotoHuman account"

Step 3: Configure the Review Template

In your GotoHuman dashboard, create a new review template with ID: 3473LaRDbdf03sd6uzYG
Set up the template with:
