Workflow

When you have a large set of prompts to process for image generation, an effective approach is to store them in a file named 'prompts.txt.' Once your prompts are organized and your Python script is ready, the next step is to open your Discord server channel and type 'automation.' This command will kickstart the GUI automation process, prompting Python to send messages to the Midjourney Bot through Discord.

For the automation to function smoothly, it's crucial to keep Discord open, allowing the Python script to execute its commands without interruption. Additionally, avoid using your computer during the automation, as any unintended interactions could disrupt the script's execution.

A smart tactic for maximizing this automation system is to run it overnight. While you sleep, the Python script will work diligently in the background, processing your prompts and generating a captivating collection of AI images. By morning, your automation adventure will be complete, leaving you with a trove of images to explore.

Prerequisites:

Refer to my previous article to configure your Discord Server and Application Bot.

To install the necessary libraries for this Python script, open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

pip install discord.py python-dotenv pyautogui

Create a text file named prompts.txt and save it in the same directory as your Python script. Each line in the text file should contain a prompt.

Example: sunny beach in Florida, --v 5 --ar 2:1 teddy bear illustration, --v 5 --ar 2:3 ship illustration, --v 5 --ar 2:3

Python Code

import time import discord from discord.ext import commands from dotenv import load_dotenv import pyautogui as pg

discord_token = "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN"

# Using readlines() prompt_file = open('prompts.txt', 'r') prompts = prompt_file.readlines()

prompt_counter = 0

load_dotenv() client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="*", intents=discord.Intents.all())

@client.event async def on_ready():

print("Bot connected")

@client.event async def on_message(message):

global prompt_counter

msg = message.content

print(message)

while prompt_counter < len(prompts):

# Start Automation by typing "automation" in the discord channel

if msg == 'automation':

time.sleep(3)

pg.press('tab')

for i in range(1):

time.sleep(3)

pg.write('/imagine')

time.sleep(5)

pg.press('tab')

pg.write(prompts[prompt_counter])

time.sleep(3)

pg.press('enter')

time.sleep(5)

prompt_counter += 1

# continue Automation as soon Midjourney bot sends a message with attachment.

for attachment in message.attachments:

time.sleep(3)

pg.write('/imagine')

time.sleep(5)

pg.press('tab')

pg.write(prompts[prompt_counter])

time.sleep(3)

pg.press('enter')

time.sleep(5)

prompt_counter += 1

# Stop Automation once all prompts are completed

quit()

client.run(discord_token)

This Python script automates the process of sending prompts to a Discord bot, which subsequently generates images based on those prompts. The core elements of the script include:

1. Importing essential libraries: The script incorporates time, discord, commands from discord.ext, load_dotenv from dotenv, and pyautogui as pg.
2. Setting up the Discord bot token: Replace "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN" with your specific Discord bot token.
3. Reading prompts from a text file: The script reads a file called 'prompts.txt' and stores the prompts in a list named prompts.
4. Initializing the bot and connecting to Discord: The script loads environment variables, establishes a command prefix for the bot, and connects it to Discord.
5. Defining the on_ready event: This function is triggered when the bot connects to Discord, printing "Bot connected."
6. Defining the on_message event: This function is called when a new message is received in any accessible channel. Automation begins when a user sends a message containing 'automation.'
7. Automating the prompt submission to the Discord bot:
   • The script loops through the prompts list.
   • It waits for the 'automation' message to initiate the process.
   • Using pyautogui, the script types '/imagine' and sends the prompt.
   • The script then waits for the Midjourney bot to send an image attachment before proceeding with the next prompt.
   • This cycle continues until all prompts have been processed.
8. Concluding the automation: Once all prompts are executed, the script calls the quit() function to terminate the automation.
9. Running the bot: The script ends with client.run(discord_token) to execute the bot using the provided token.
