StreamPod Quickstart Guide
Getting Started
Read the guidelines and follow the rules
- Read the
#rules
channel - Follow the guidelines and rules for using StreamPod AI
Creating a Private Chat
- Navigate to the
#model-chat
channel - Type
/model
to select your preferred AI model - Enter the newly created private thread
- Thread names are random.
- Only the user can see the thread creation message(ephemeral threads)
- Additional users must be invited using the @ symbol
Basic Commands
Text Generation
- Use
/model
to access text-based models - Optionally set a system prompt to define the model’s role and behavior
- Model might refuse to load if the system prompt exceeds the character limit or if the system prompt does not meet the guidelines
Media Generation
/text-to-image
: Generate images from text descriptions/text-to-video
: Create videos from text prompts/image-to-video
: Convert images to videos/text-to-sfx
: Generate sound effects and music
Voice Agent Features
/createvoice
: Initialize voice chat/talk
: Begin voice interaction/leave
: Exit voice chat
Usage Guidelines
Text and Vision Models
- Select your model with
/model
- Set an optional system prompt plus optional parameterized settings and enter the private thread
- Invite additional users using the @ symbol
- Enter your prompt or upload media
- Wait for the model’s response
- Follow up with additional prompts or commands as needed
Media Generation
Image Generation
- Maximum prompt length: 1024 characters
- Maximum image count: 3
- Pre-prompting supported by models: Claude, Llama, and specialized Vision models
Video Generation
- Maximum prompt length: 512 characters
- Image-to-video requirements:
- Resolution: 1280x720
- Format: JPEG or PNG (non-transparent)
- Compression recommended
Best Practices
-
For media generation, pre-prompt multimodal models with context and specific details about the desired output. Details such as the character length, image count, shot type and resolution are crucial for optimal results.
-
Use system prompts to guide the model’s role and behavior
-
Invite additional users to private threads using the @ symbol within the private thread
-
Image generation is parameterized by the model’s input requirements and guidelines, including character limits.
-
Use the image generator’s parameters such as resolution, image count, prompt strength, and other model-specific parameters to optimize the output quality
-
Keep track of your active threads in

Advanced Tips
- Use the channel menu to track private threads (indicated by a blinking dot)
- Access thread names through the context menu (right-click)
- For video understanding tasks, specifically use Nova Lite or Nova Pro models
- Remember that all video and image generation requests are processed in a queue system and include workflow analytics
- Use
/leave
to properly end voice chat sessions and avoid unnecessary resource consumption - Models might refuse to process requests if the prompt exceeds the character limit or if the model is busy processing other requests
- Models might refuse to process requests if the prompt does not follow the model’s input requirements and guidelines
- To avoid rate limits we recommend using lower parameter count models(Llama 1b & 3b) for general text generation tasks and higher parameter count models for specialized tasks such as multilingual translation and summarization tasks
- Lower parameter count models might hallucinate often or generate irrelevant content if the prompt is not specific enough or if the prompt is too vague
