+
+## Overview
+
+Build AI media generation pipelines that handle unpredictable API latencies and long-running operations. Generate images, videos, audio, and multi-modal content with automatic retries, progress tracking, and no timeout limits.

+
+## Benefits of using Trigger.dev for AI media generation workflows
+
+**Pay only for active compute, not AI inference time:** Checkpoint-resume pauses during AI API calls. Generate content that takes minutes or hours without paying for idle inference time.
+
+**No timeout limits for long generations:** Handle generations that take minutes or hours without execution limits. Perfect for high-quality video synthesis and complex multi-modal workflows.
+
+**Human approval gates for brand safety:** Add review steps before publishing AI-generated content. Pause workflows for human approval using waitpoint tokens.

+
+## Example workflow patterns
+
+<Tabs>
+ <Tab title="AI content with approval">
+    **Supervisor pattern with approval gate**. Generates AI content, pauses execution with wait.forToken to allow human review, applies feedback if needed, publishes approved content.
+
+<div align="center">
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    A[generateContent] --> B[createWithAI]
+    B --> C[wait.forToken approval]
+    C --> D{Approved?}
+
+    D -->|Yes| E[publishContent]
+    D -->|Needs revision| F[applyFeedback]
+    F --> B
+```
+
+</div>
+  </Tab>
+  <Tab title="AI image generation">
+    Simple AI image generation. Receives prompt and parameters, calls OpenAI DALL·E 3, post-processes result, uploads to storage.
+
+<div align="center">
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    A[generateImage] --> B[optimizeImage]
+    B --> C[uploadToStorage]
+    C --> D[updateDatabase]
+```
+
+</div>
+  </Tab>
+
+  <Tab title="Batch image generation">
+    **Coordinator pattern with rate limiting**. Receives batch of generation requests, coordinates parallel processing with configurable concurrency to respect API rate limits, validates outputs, stores results.
+
+<div align="center">
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    A[processBatch] --> B[coordinateGeneration]
+    B --> C[batchTriggerAndWait]
+
+    C --> D[generateImage1]
+    C --> E[generateImage2]
+    C --> F[generateImageN]
+
+    D --> G[validateResults]
+    E --> G
+    F --> G
+
+    G --> H[storeResults]
+    H --> I[notifyCompletion]
+```
+
+</div>
+  </Tab>
+
+  <Tab title="Multi-step image enhancement">
+    **Coordinator pattern with sequential processing**. Generates initial content with AI, applies style transfer or enhancement, upscales resolution, optimizes and compresses for delivery.
+
+<div align="center">
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    A[processCreative] --> B[generateWithAI]
+    B --> C[applyStyleTransfer]
+    C --> D[upscaleResolution]
+    D --> E[optimizeAndCompress]
+    E --> F[uploadToStorage]
+```
