And today we’re going to learn more about this artificial intelligence service that’s been making waves!
What is Midjourney?
Developed by Midjourney, Inc, an independent research laboratory in San Francisco, Midjourney is an artificial intelligence platform that generates images from prompts, i.e. descriptions.
It's not the only one out there, we also have DALL-E and Stable Diffusion that are similar.
We need to mention that the tool is in beta, but you can use it for testing, so it won't always generate what you want, which could result in some bizarre things.

How to create an account?
Before you can start using Midjourney, you need to create an account. And this process starts on their website, Midjourney.com, in the bottom right corner access “Join the beta”.
After clicking this button, you will be redirected to Discord, this is because the program does not have its own application, it works using a bot made in Discord.
Log in to the Midjourney server to start using it, in the meantime, go back to the website and click on “Sign In” to create your account.
Once you do this, approve the use of discord with an external application, this way your account will be created.
How does Midjourney work?
After you create your account on Midjourney, click on “Join the Discord to start creating”, which takes you back to the discord to start using the tool.
To do this, you will have to click on the available channels that are called “newbie”, it can be any of them, it is in these channels that the prompts must be entered.
In the text box type /imagine and press enter, the prompt opens, then just type what you want to create in Midjourney and press enter again.
The tool does not have very good support for Portuguese, so ideally the description of the image was written in English.
When using it for the first time, it will ask you to accept the terms of use, so click “Accept ToS”.
After the image has been generated, it can be downloaded by clicking on it, and with the right button you select “save image as”, and you can save it anywhere on your computer, easy, right?
Extra tips for using Midjourney
When generating an image, you may notice that it contains several buttons below it, such as U and V followed by some number, as well as an emoji to remake the image.
OR means Upscale, that is, when using this button, more images will be generated based on the description, but they will be more detailed and resized.
While V stands for Versions, 4 new images will be generated for you to use.
Midjourney is just one of several artificial intelligence tools that are shaking up the structure of several markets and also facilitating some processes.
