Routing: Pexels vs AI Generation
| User says... | Tool |
|---|---|
| "find a photo of Singapore" / "search for office pictures" / "stock image of a desk" | Pexels (this skill) |
| "I need a real photo for this slide" / "find pictures for my article" | Pexels (this skill) |
| "generate an image of a cat" / "create a picture of..." / "make me an illustration" | Host's image generation tool |
| "upscale this" / "remove background" / "edit: make warmer" | Host's AI image editing skill |
| "production-ready hero image" / "let's do this properly" | Host's multi-stage image generation skill |
The key word test: if the user says photo, picture, stock image, or find/search → Pexels. If the user says generate, create, make, draw, or illustration → AI generation.
