AI Automated "Viral Style" Carousels Generator for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or X

🚀 Overview

Automate your social media content creation with this powerful n8n workflow! Generate engaging, viral-style carousels for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or X (Twitter) in minutes. This template leverages AI (xAI Grok) to craft compelling, high-retention text and uses n8n's Edit Image node to automatically design your slides with your custom branding.

Output examples:

✨ Features

  • AI-Powered Content: Utilizes xAI Grok to generate witty, substantive, 7-slide carousel content based on a theme and CTA.
  • Multi-Platform Ready: Perfect for Instagram carousels, TikTok carousels, LinkedIn carousels, and X (Twitter) threads.
  • Automated Design: Overlays AI-generated text onto your chosen background image, creating visually consistent slides.
  • Easy Customization: Adapt the AI persona, font styles, colors, and background images to match your brand.
  • Google Drive Integration: Seamlessly downloads your background template and uploads finished carousel slides.
  • No Code Automation: Set up once and generate endless content with minimal effort.

💡 How it Works

  1. Input Trigger: Provide a theme and call to action (CTA) via a webhook or manual trigger.
  2. Content Generation: The AI (acting as "The Carousel Cynic") writes 7 distinct slides, each with a provocative title and a detailed description, formatted for maximum engagement.
  3. Image Assembly:
    • Downloads a base background image from Google Drive.
    • Loops through each of the 7 AI-generated slides.
    • Uses the Edit Image node to dynamically add the slide's title and description to the background.
    • Outputs sequentially numbered .png files (e.g., 1.png, 2.png).
  4. Output & Storage: Uploads all final carousel images to a specified folder in your Google Drive, ready for publishing.

🛠️ Setup Steps

  1. xAI Credentials: Add your xAI API Key to the xAI Grok Chat Model node.
  2. Google Drive Integration:
    • Connect your Google Drive OAuth2 credentials.
    • In the Download file node, update the File ID to point to your desired blank background image.
    • In the Upload file node, select the Google Drive folder where you want to save the generated carousels.
  3. Customization (Optional):
    • Adjust AI persona in the AI Agent node's "System Prompt."
    • Modify fontSize, fontColor, positionX, and positionY in the Params Style Config node to perfectly align text on your background images.
