Zaps tools (4, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscreate_designswrite actionFreeThe whole job in one call: give it a SEARCH QUERY you have written, your photo URLs and the words you want on the design, and it finds templates that fit, renders each with your photos and your copy, and returns several finished designs to choose between. Use this when someone wants options — it is search and render together, so there is no need to call search_templates and fill_template yourself. Templates that hold every photo you supplied are preferred, so pass all of them. Photos attached in the conversation go in `photos`; photos already on the web go in `images`. Each returned design spends one agentic token.
fill_templateFreeRender a finished image: give it a template id from search_templates and the photo URLs to place, and it returns the rendered design. Photos are placed into the template's image slots in the order given, so pass them in the order you want them to appear. Photos attached in the conversation go in `photos`; photos already on the web go in `images`. Each render spends one agentic token.
search_templatesFreeFind design templates. YOU write the query, and its wording decides the match: the catalogue describes each template as Title Case phrases separated by commas, and a query in that same register scores about 0.11 higher than the same intent written as a sentence. Write five or six phrases covering the occasion, the subject and the mood — "Coffee Shop, Cafe Vibes, Grand Opening, Latte Art, Cafe Aesthetic" rather than "grand opening of a neighbourhood coffee shop". A single word is worst of all. Returns templates with an id to fill and a link a person can open to keep editing.
upload_imageswrite actionFreeCall this FIRST when the photos are on the caller's machine rather than already on the web — our renderer fetches over the network and cannot read a local path. Simplest way: read each file and pass it in `files` as base64; the reply gives you a publicUrl per photo to hand straight to create_designs, with nothing else to run. If you would rather upload the bytes yourself, pass `count` instead and you get presigned links to PUT to. Costs nothing either way.

Zaps for agents
Turn someone's photos into finished social-media designs (stories, carousels, reel covers, invites) from any AI agent. Give it photos and a brief, and Zaps picks matching templates, places the photos and the words, and returns finished images with a link to keep editing each one in the Zaps editor.
