```

Example prompt: Convert the text 'Hello World' into ASCII art using a bold Unicode style.

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically convert plain text into ASCII or Unicode art with style control, paid per-call with micro-USDC — ideal for bots, chat decorations, banners, or creative text displays where a lightweight pay-per-use model is preferred over a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text parameter returns an error
- Unsupported style value may return default or error
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance or wallet not configured) blocks the call
- Network timeout on vercel.app deployment under load
