Learn how to integrate Make.com with Venice API to design scalable, innovative workflows that keep sensitive data secure while leveraging the power of AI. Discover step-by-step strategies to harness Venice’s API within make.com no-code platform for enterprise-grade automation that prioritizes freedom of expression and privacy.

What is Venice?

Venice is a generative AI platform launched in 2024 by Erik Voorhees. It prioritizes privacy, free speech, and uncensored AI interactions by leveraging blockchain technology and uncensored inference computing. Key aspects of Venice include:

• Data Privacy: User data is stored locally and encrypted during transmission.

• Anonymous Interactions: Secure and anonymous AI interactions without centralized control.

• Generative AI Capabilities: Advanced AI for text, images, and code generation.

• Venice Token (VVV): Powering the platform's private API for seamless and secure interactions.

Venice offers a unique approach to generative AI, ensuring that users maintain control over their data and expressions.

Why Combine Make.com + Venice API?

• Uncensored inference: Use Venice’s uncensored generative AI models within Make workflows for content generation, data analysis, or decision-making—without exposing data to third parties.

• End-to-End Privacy: Keep AI interactions confidential by routing requests through self-hosted Venice nodes or private cloud instances.

• Flexible Use Cases: Build custom AI chatbots, automate creative processes, or securely analyze sensitive datasets using Make.com’s visual automation and Venice’s private AI.

Make and Venice Integration Prerequisites

Before starting the integration process, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Venice API Key:

  • Obtain your Venice API key by staking VVV tokens, topping up your account with USD, or upgrading to Venice Pro. Note that Pro accounts have more restrictive rate limits.

  • Follow the Venice API documentation for detailed instructions on generating your API key.

• Make Account:

  • The first requirement for creating Make workflows is to set up a Make account. You can sign up for free on Make.com using your email, Google, Facebook, or Github account. Make offers a free plan that provides access to essential features, which is perfect for beginners who want to test the platform's capabilities.

• Gmail Account:

  • This workflow involves email automation, having a Gmail account is necessary to send emails from Make using Gmail.

These prerequisites will ensure a smooth setup for integrating Make with Venice's generative AI capabilities.

Step-by-Step Make Integration to automate daily image generation using Venice and send by Gmail

This Make automates your creative spark by generating AI-powered prompts and images using the Venice API, all based on keywords you add to a simple inspiration spreadsheet.

The final Make Workflow we’re building:

This workflow automates the process of generating and delivering personalized images using a combination of automation tools and APIs. Here's how it works:

1. Retrieve Keywords:

   • A Google Sheets module which connects to your inspirational spreadsheet, pulling keywords or phrases you’ve stored there. These keywords form the basis of your image prompt.

2. Generate Image Prompt:

   • Using the retrieved keywords, a HTTP module leveraging Venice’s API dynamically constructs a natural-language prompt tailored to your preferences (e.g., "Venice sunset with gondolas and Renaissance architecture").

4. Image Generation via Venice API:

   • The generated prompt is sent to the Venice API via another HTTP module, which creates a new image based on the prompt we have generated in the previous step.

5. Image convert

   • An image converter module is used to change the image type and define the filename for the attachment.

6. Automated Email Delivery:

   • The final image is automatically attached to an email and sent to your specified address, completing the workflow.

Step 1: Set Up a Google Sheets module

Objective: Schedule a daily process to automatically generate an image using Venice based on keywords imported from Google Sheets and then distribute it via Gmail.
