# AI Headshot Generator

Generate professional headshots for LinkedIn, corporate profiles, and business use using [each::sense](https://docs.eachlabs.ai/sense/overview) — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

## Quick Start

> Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at [eachlabs.ai](https://eachlabs.ai).

### Using curl

```bash
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Professional corporate headshot of a confident woman in her 30s, wearing a navy blazer over a white blouse, soft studio lighting, neutral gray background, sharp focus on face, shoulders up, warm natural smile, DSLR quality"
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'
```

### Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

```python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Professional corporate headshot of a confident woman in her 30s, wearing a navy blazer over a white blouse, soft studio lighting, neutral gray background, sharp focus on face, shoulders up, warm natural smile, DSLR quality"
    }]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

### With Reference Photo

Upload a selfie or casual photo to generate a professional headshot version:

```bash
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Transform this photo into a professional corporate headshot. Keep the same person, add studio lighting, neutral background, professional attire, shoulders-up framing, sharp focus"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/my-selfie.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'
```

> Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

### Streaming

Set `"stream": true` for real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE) responses, or `"stream": false` to receive the complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

## Headshot Styles

| Style | Description | Best For |
|-------|-------------|----------|
| **Corporate Formal** | Suit/blazer, neutral background, traditional lighting | Finance, law, consulting |
| **Business Casual** | Smart-casual attire, warm tones, approachable | Tech, marketing, startups |
| **Creative Professional** | Bold colors, environmental background, personality | Design, media, entertainment |
| **Medical/Clinical** | White coat, clinical setting, trustworthy | Healthcare professionals |
| **Academic** | Office/library background, intellectual warmth | Professors, researchers |

      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'
```

# Use the same style parameters for consistency
STYLE="soft studio lighting, neutral gray background, shoulders up, professional, 85mm portrait lens, DSLR quality"

  "Professional headshot of a man in his 40s, glasses, light blue dress shirt, $STYLE"
  "Professional headshot of a young woman, curly hair, white blouse, $STYLE"
)

for DESC in "${DESCRIPTIONS[@]}"; do
  curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
    -d "{
      \"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"$DESC\"}],
