# Leonardo AI

The `robomotion leonardoai` CLI connects to Leonardo AI for AI-powered image generation and editing. It generates images from text prompts, upscales images, removes backgrounds, manages generation jobs, and supports various AI models and style presets.

## When to use
- Generate images from text prompts using Leonardo AI models
- Upscale images or remove backgrounds
- Track and retrieve generation job results
- List available models and manage image workflows

## Prerequisites
- `robomotion` CLI installed
- Package installed: `robomotion install leonardoai`
- Leonardo AI API key configured via Robomotion vault

## IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations
Each CLI command runs as a **separate process** — connection IDs from `connect` do NOT persist across calls.
You MUST use `--session` on `connect` and pass `--session-id` to all subsequent commands.

## Workflow
1. Install (once): `robomotion install leonardoai`
2. Connect with session:
   ```
   robomotion leonardoai leonardoai_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   ```
3. Use the returned `client-id` and `session-id` in all subsequent commands:
   ```
   robomotion leonardoai leonardoai_generate_image --client-id "<client-id>" --prompt <text> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```
4. Disconnect when done:
   ```
   robomotion leonardoai leonardoai_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```

**Always** append `--output json` to get structured JSON results.
