+# Image Generator
+
+Quick image generator using OpenAI's DALL-E 3. Generates 1024x1024 images from either random themes or your own prompts.
+
+## Setup
+
+You'll need an OpenAI API key. Set it as an environment variable:
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-key-here'
+```
+
+Or just enter it when the notebook prompts you.
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. Open `day1_random_img_generator.ipynb`
+2. Run the cells in order
+3. When prompted, type either:
+   - `random` - picks a random theme from the list
+   - `custom` - lets you enter your own prompt
+4. Wait 10-30 seconds for the image to generate
+5. Image shows up in the notebook
+
+## What's Inside
+
+- 15 pre-made themes (cyberpunk cities, fantasy forests, etc.)
+- Uses DALL-E 3 for image generation
+- Standard quality to keep costs reasonable
+- Simple error handling
+
+## Cost Warning
+
+DALL-E 3 costs about $0.04 per image. Not huge but watch your usage.
+
+## Example Prompts
+
+If you go custom, try stuff like:
+- "a cat astronaut floating in space"
+- "steampunk coffee shop interior"
+- "synthwave sunset over ocean waves"
+
+Keep it descriptive for better results.
