Description
Confirmation of Request Source
- I confirm that this feature request is for the xAI SDK Python library (e.g., client features, SDK methods, or documentation) and not for the xAI API itself (e.g., model capabilities or API changes).
Describe the feature you'd like
Add SDK convenience methods for common multimodal patterns:
- Helper to store text + local image path reference together
- Utility to reconstruct image paths from search results
- Example code for vision + collections workflows
This would help developers working around the current text-only
Collections limitation until the API supports image storage natively.

Research direction
Start by reading the SDK's Collections methods and existing multimodal client features; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Define the three requested convenience patterns and add an example covering vision with Collections, then verify the helpers support text, local image references, and reconstruction from search results.
