## Best Practices

### Face Filter Design
- **Natural Integration**: Filters should blend seamlessly with facial features
- **Proper Tracking Points**: Design around standard face landmark positions (eyes, nose, mouth, forehead)
- **Lighting Consistency**: Match filter lighting with typical selfie lighting conditions
- **Scale Appropriateness**: Elements should be proportional to face size

### Platform Considerations
- **Instagram/TikTok**: Vertical 9:16 format, mobile-first design
- **Snapchat**: Consider lens studio capabilities and limitations
- **Video Calls**: Subtle effects that work at lower resolutions

### Performance Tips
- **Simplicity**: Fewer elements = better real-time performance
- **Transparency**: Use proper alpha channels for overlays
- **Animation**: Consider how static designs translate to animated filters

## Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

**"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"**

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|------|----------|-------|---------|
| `max` | Final filter concepts, client presentations, portfolio work | Slower | Highest |
| `eco` | Quick drafts, concept exploration, brainstorming variations | Faster | Good |

## Multi-Turn Creative Iteration

Use `session_id` to iterate on filter designs:

```bash
# Initial filter concept
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a cat face AR filter with whiskers and cat ears",
