Overview
Randomize
Random seed control for exploring generation variety

Docs
Randomize gives users control over the stochastic element of AI generation. By exposing seed values and providing a 'shuffle' action, it lets users explore the natural variety of model outputs intentionally rather than accidentally. Users who find a result they like can lock the seed for reproducibility, while those seeking inspiration can keep randomizing until something clicks.
Variants
- Shuffle button — A single button that generates a new random seed and re-runs the generation, prioritizing simplicity and speed.
- Seed input — A text field where users can enter or view specific seed values, enabling reproducible results and sharing.
- Seed with shuffle — A combined interface with both a visible seed value and a randomize button, balancing exploration with reproducibility.
Use Cases
- Image generation tools where users explore visual variations
- Creative writing assistants offering different story directions
- Design tools generating random color palettes or layouts
- Game content generators creating procedural content
- Music generation tools exploring different melodic variations
Best Practices
- Always show the current seed value so users can save and share reproducible results.
- Make the randomize action visually prominent and satisfying — it's a discovery tool.
- Support seed sharing via copy/paste so users can reproduce results across sessions.
- Remember the last few seeds so users can go back to a previous variation.
- Combine with parameter controls to let users randomize within constrained bounds.
