> Learn how to apply GenAIScript to images for data extraction and analysis using AI models.

The quick-start guide illustrates how to write a GenAIScript that takes input from an image file.

1. Place your image in a directory visible in VS Code Explorer

2. Use the `> GenAIScript: Create new script...` command in the command palette to create a new script.

3. Update the model in the script header to refer to a model that understands images:

   ```js
   script({
       title: "Apply a script to an image",
       model: "openai:gpt-4o",
   })
   ```

4. Use [defImages](/genaiscript/reference/scripts/images/) to ingest the image file into the model context:

   ```js
   defImages(env.files, { detail: "low" })
   ```

5. Replace the text `"TELL THE LLM WHAT TO DO..."` with what you want it to do with your image file.

   ```js
   $`You are a helpful assistant.
   Your goal is to look at the image of a chart provided
   and extract the data it is presented in a tabular format.`
   ```

6. Right click on the image file in VS Code Explorer. Select **Run GenAIScript**. Select the script you just wrote.

7. The Output will be displayed in a new document tab.
