Your first carousel

Carousels are multi-slide posts built around a dramaturgical arc — a hook, a build, and a payoff — filled in your brand voice and rendered against your visual identity. There are two ways to make one.

The fast way: ask Aurea

Aurea is your in-app AI assistant (open the Setup-Assistant page, or the chat bubble in the bottom-right of any page). Just ask:

"Make a carousel about the 3 biggest onboarding mistakes."

Aurea writes a 5–9 slide carousel following a proven blueprint. You can ask for 1–3 structurally different variants of the same brief in one go, then keep the one that lands. The results appear in your content and in the Campaigns library, where they stay reopenable.

The deliberate way: from an idea + a template

For more control over structure and slides:

1. Capture an idea. Open Ideas (sidebar ▸ Content ▸ Ideas) and add one, or open an existing idea.
2. Pick a template. In the idea, choose a carousel template. Ikrames ships ready-made ones:
   • Archetypes — Authority, Topic (faceless), and Personal.
   • Lead-magnet formats — Checklist, Framework, Mistake-list, Mini-guide, and Swipe collection.
   • Or one of your own templates (see below).
3. Generate a script. The idea produces a linked, slide-by-slide script and opens it in the Script Review editor.

Shape it in Script Review

Script Review is where a carousel becomes yours:

• Framing — choose the rhetorical frame (the how of the argument) and the content pillar (the what), then regenerate the slides to match.
• Slides — edit slide text directly.
• Assets — swap the image on any slide from stock search, your asset pool, or resolver suggestions.
• Preview — see the rendered carousel as you go.

When it reads right, create a variant to render it. Rendering spends credits and produces the final image set, ready to schedule.

Brand-mark on renders. Rendered content carries a brand mark automatically: on the free tier it's a small "made with ikrames.com" line; on paid tiers with a brand wordmark set, it's your own mark. See the Account & Billing section.

Make your own templates

Beyond the built-ins, you can build brand templates in the Template editor (Library ▸ Assets ▸ Templates → open a template). It's a visual canvas editor — drag elements, edit text in place, adjust colors and fonts, with undo/redo. You can also import from a reference: drop in a screenshot of a layout you like and Ikrames extracts a template from it.

Next: publish & schedule your content →
