AI and Instagram: Plan Your Next 3 Carousels in 10 Minutes

Published on 13 July 2025 at 08:00

You know carousels are one of the best ways to get saves, shares, and followers on Instagram.
But planning them can feel overwhelming - especially when you’re trying to make each slide valuable and visually cohesive.

Here’s the secret: AI can help you outline 3 carousels in under 10 minutes - so you always have engaging, swipe-worthy content ready to create.

✅ Why Carousels Matter

Instagram’s algorithm loves carousels because they keep people swiping longer.
That means:
✔️ More engagement
✔️ More saves (hello future reach!)
✔️ A higher chance of showing up on Explore

✅ The Perfect AI Carousel Planning Prompt

💬 Carousel Planning Prompt:

“I’m a [your role] helping [your audience].
Suggest 3 Instagram carousel ideas that teach, inspire, or engage on the topic: [insert topic].
For each idea, outline 5-7 slides with suggested headlines or bullet points.
Keep the tone [insert tone] and make them easy to understand.”

✅ Example in Action

Topic: How to plan content faster

AI might suggest:

  1. Carousel 1: “5 Signs You’re Overcomplicating Your Content Plan”

    • Slide 1: Hook

    • Slides 2–6: Signs + explanations

    • Slide 7: CTA to book your service

  2. Carousel 2: “My 3-Step System for Planning Posts in 1 Hour a Week”

    • Slide 1: Bold promise

    • Slides 2–5: Each step

    • Slide 6: Summary

    • Slide 7: CTA

  3. Carousel 3: “Content Planning Mistakes That Keep You Stuck”

    • Slide 1: Eye-catching question

    • Slides 2–6: Mistakes + fixes

    • Slide 7: Invite comments

✅ How to Go From Outline to Finished Carousel

Once you have your AI outlines:
✔️ Drop them into Adobe Express or Canva
✔️ Add your brand fonts, colours, and photos
✔️ Keep each slide to 1 key point - don’t cram
✔️ Write a caption that expands on your main idea + includes a CTA
