I expanded some on @Nate Herk video he did on creating faceless shorts https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-society/new-video-how-i-automated-faceless-shorts-with-ai-in-n8n-free-template?p=23e32cd4. For image creation. I am not able to do video and show flow but this one is all set to go. I created a sub-flow that calls Pollinations to create the images (while Piapi is not that costly just wanted to try and see how things go), giving alternatives to image creation as well with minimal setup.. All that is needed is set your image size, enter your google details, and enter a prompt for what you want. It will also create multiple images if asked. Do keep in mind like any provider, speed and results are based on your input prompts. There is my Punk Raccoon playing on a trash can below and a Yorkie at the beach. The agent will re-write your simple prompt and make into a more detailed prompt. Like the one Nate uses in the faceless shorts. I plugged this in where Piapi calls are and made a few changes in how it gets it prompts and passes the information on. As Pollinations does not really provide an ID per say, it does provide a live url which stays for a bit, At least long enough to pull down and put into Kling or Runway. Bit simple, and can be expanded more. The one step I noticed that was not needed (for me) was the wait node after piapi call when I plugged this in, it does not seem to move forward until all images have been created when using pollinations. Not sure if that would matter to anyone. I included a few screen shots of the changes I made in Nates Faceless Flow. The first HTTP request is a http "Post" request to Pollinations.ai , and the second is a http "Get" request also to Pollinations.ai using the same url call. When using Pollinations for image generation, please give them credit, by sharing where the images were generated for you.

For a deeper discussion on taking this workflow to the next level, let's talk here. In this video, I walk through how I built an n8n workflow that generates faceless shorts on autopilot—from turning ideas into AI-generated images, converting those images into engaging videos, and adding the perfect sound effects to bring everything together.
