For sure, you can handle generating both images and text in the same workflow running multiple AI SDK operations in parallel or sequence, and then combine the outputs however you need for your PDFs.
I'd recommend browsing our examples docs (https://trigger.dev/docs/guides/introduction) if you want to see different ways of using the AI SDK and converting / generating PDFs (React to PDF / Libreoffice, etc).
That's fair, we understand there can be trade-offs when picking a workflow tool. Was there anything else we were missing or was it purely the hosting model which made the difference?
In Trigger.dev workflows are created completely in your code rather than in a node-based UI (which to be fair does allow you to write code sometimes). We found developers could actually put together workflows faster if the whole thing was code rather than a hybrid of UI / code (because you get to use your own IDE + Copilot).
