Image Input

Halo supports sending images directly in conversations. The AI can recognize and analyze image content and respond accordingly.

How to Add Images

Any of three methods work:

  1. Click the "+" button on the left side of the input box and select a file
  2. Drag and drop an image file directly into the input box
  3. Use Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste a screenshot from your clipboard

Important: A Multimodal Model Is Required

Non-multimodal models will throw an error

Image input only works with multimodal models, such as Claude 4.5, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and GPT-4o.

When using a model that does not support vision (such as some domestic model APIs), uploading an image will cause an error. Because the context already contains image parameters, you must start a new conversation to continue using Halo normally.

To switch to a multimodal model: use the model selection menu in the top-right corner.


Typical Use Cases

  • Screenshot the UI and ask the AI to analyze the design or identify code errors
  • Upload a chart and ask the AI to interpret the data
  • Send a design mockup and ask the AI to generate the corresponding code
  • Photograph a document and ask the AI to extract or translate the text
