AI Instagram Carousel Engine

What it does

Runs a short guided interview to define the carousel topic, generates each slide with AI while preserving your face from reference photos, applies automatic quality gates, and shows a phone-style preview before drafting caption and hashtags. Nothing goes to publishing without your approval.

When to use it

• When you want to produce educational or sales carousels without a designer.
• When you need consistent personal branding across content.
• When you post to Instagram regularly and want to speed up visual production.

Steps

1. Answer the guided interview about topic, audience, and goal.
2. Upload two real reference photos to preserve your face.
3. The assistant generates each slide and runs it through automatic quality gates.
4. You review the phone-mockup preview before continuing.
5. Caption and hashtags are drafted as an editable draft.
6. You publish or approve the handoff to your scheduling tool; nothing auto-publishes.

## 1. What it does

- Runs a short guided interview to define the carousel topic, generates each slide with AI while preserving your face from reference photos, applies automatic quality gates, and shows a phone-style preview before drafting caption and hashtags. Nothing goes to publishing without your approval.

## 3. Step by step

- Answer the guided interview about topic, audience, and goal.

- The assistant generates each slide and runs it through automatic quality gates.
- You review the phone-mockup preview before continuing.
- Caption and hashtags are drafted as an editable draft.
- You publish or approve the handoff to your scheduling tool; nothing auto-publishes.

## 4. Safety rules

- Safety rules: everything ships as a draft first; nothing is sent, published, or paid for without your explicit approval; no data, numbers, or results are ever invented; no credentials or secrets are typed into chat.

## 5. Best practices

- Always review the full draft before approving any send, publish, or payment.
- If real information (data, numbers, results) is missing, ask for it to be flagged as pending instead of invented.
- Keep credentials and keys out of chat; set them in environment variables or your secrets manager.

## 6. GoHighLevel integration

- Where relevant, results can be saved as contacts, tags, tasks, or notes inside your GoHighLevel sub-account.
- No automation inside GHL (workflow, campaign, trigger) activates without your review first.
