llm -T Anki "For each anki card in the evolve deck without an image (ignore cards with images), use Anki_get_image_url to add an image. Make it visible in the front or back of the card, whichever makes more sense for that card. Make sure that the card is formatted as HTML (not markdown) or the image won't render correctly.
