Yesterday (22.04) OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Images 2.0.
It's absolutely insane at creating brand kits, realistic images AND images of websites!
The most interesting part:
GPT-5.4 is relatively weak at frontend generation and visual taste.
With Images 2.0, there’s now a new way to generate frontends using Codex/GPT-5.4.
Generate an Image(s) of a website you want to build (or any UI).
Let GPT-5.4 analyze the design
Then prompt Codex to build it
The image model has significantly better visual taste and I've built a skill for it to generate even better designs.

How to use image gen skill
Copy the whole markdown into your prompt in ChatGPT or just add it as a file and tell ChatGPT to generate an image based on this skill.
Usage
Now there are 2 ways how you can now build good design with Codex
Method 1: Let the agent cook
Generate images in ChatGPT of the UI you want to create and feed them step by step into Codex and tell it to recreate the design
OR
Run this in Codex: "install this https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill/blob/main/skills/images-taste-skill/SKILL.md as a skill"
Use the skill by typing /imagetastefrontend
Prompt what you want to build
This will automatically let codex use an Image Generation tool in Codex to generate the Images, analyze them and copy them into code (works only for paid accounts) This is a more automated process.
Method 2: Prompt but with a vision
Generate images in ChatGPT of the UI you want to create using Images 2.0
Now you do the vibecoding part. Prompt step by step and tell it to build section by section, component for component.
Yes codex is very good at building single components.
This method gives you much more control.
With both ways you get much better results than just by prompting Opus. AND it's cheaper.
some results:
GPT 5.4 might not be the best model for vision. That's why the output won't look perfectly. BUT GPT 5.5 in less than a day will fix this :)
