    You can now use prompts with the integration to access images and videos.

    Example prompts:

    * `Search for images of cats using /Pixabay`

    * `Build a gallery app with /Pixabay`

    <Warning>
      The Pixabay API has rate limits. If something fails, wait a moment and try again.
    </Warning>

    Example prompt for optimization:

    ```
    When using /Pixabay, save the image results so they load faster next time
    ```
  </Step>

<Tip>
  Your Pixabay integration is ready! Use `/Pixabay` in chat to access images and videos.
