# Thumbnail Agent

A dedicated featured image per article, engineered for both full-width hero and 200×200 feed thumbnail scale — not a recycled in-blog image.

> **A purpose-built featured image — readable at hero size, readable at thumbnail size.**

Most AI content pipelines reuse one of the in-blog images as the article's featured image. That works for the hero position. It fails at 200×200 in a feed where details disappear and the composition collapses. The Oodlz Thumbnail Agent produces a separate featured image engineered for both scales.

## How It Works

The agent reads the article topic and brief, then writes a prompt designed specifically for thumbnail scale — strong central focal point, high contrast between subject and background, no fine detail that disappears at small sizes. The same image must also hold up at full-width hero scale, so the composition has room to breathe at large sizes.

The image renders via FLUX 1.1 Pro and uploads to WordPress Media Library as the article's featured image, separate from the in-blog set. Alt text and caption are generated alongside.

## What You Get

* A featured image purpose-built for thumbnail scale — readable at 200×200 in social feeds and category lists.
* Same image holds up at full-width hero — composition designed for both scales from the start.
* Separate from the in-blog images — the hero never reuses a body image and risks visual repetition.
* Full SEO metadata — alt text and caption written with the same keyword rigour as in-blog images.
