What subscription do you have?

pro

What platform is your computer?

windows 11

What issue are you seeing?

It is wasting my time, not being able to read a complete design document and create a UI design. I capture screenshots and annotate them, but it cannot act on those and returns the same old garbage over and over again.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019a4fb8-9716-7f92-bbeb-1d00d2649087
