Plans: Pro and Business, and the free trial. A carousel is a post with several slides people swipe through. PublishBuddy’s AI writes the text for each slide, then turns the slides into images in your brand’s colors. Right now you make carousels through the AI Agent. AI Studio doesn’t offer carousels at the moment.
1

Open the Agent and pick your accounts

Click Agent in the sidebar. At the top, click the avatars of the accounts the carousel is for.
2

Ask for a carousel

Say what it’s about, like “Make a carousel with 5 tips for first-time home buyers”. You can name a layout or a number of slides too.
3

Check the price and confirm

A card asks “Draft this carousel?” It shows the topic and the credits it costs, next to your balance. Click Confirm.
4

Read the slides

The draft shows as a card called Carousel draft, with each slide’s text numbered.
5

Click Make it a post

The Agent turns the slides into images and writes a caption from them. It saves one draft post for each account you picked.
6

Open the draft

When the images are ready, click Open the draft to check it in the composer. Then schedule it like any other post.

​
What it costs

The card always shows the price before you confirm. See How AI credits work.

​
Slides and layouts

A carousel has 2 to 8 slides. If you don’t say, you get 6. There are six layouts. If you don’t pick one, you get List / Tips.
  • List / Tips
  • Bold Statement
  • Quote
  • Step-by-step
  • Hook + Reveal
  • Title + Content + CTA
In most layouts, each slide has a headline and body text, and there’s room for a call to action. The Quote layout shows just the quote.

​
Your brand on the slides

If the account has a Brand Kit, the slides use it. That covers the colors, the font and the logo, and the text is written in the kit’s voice. Without a Brand Kit, the slides use PublishBuddy’s default colors.

​
Change the slides

The Agent can’t edit one slide of a draft. When you click Change a slide and say what you want, it writes a new draft. That shows a new card with a new price. If only the caption needs work, make the post first and edit the caption in the composer. The words on the slides can’t be changed there.

​
Where carousels are saved

  • The slide images go in the AI Studio folder of your Media Library.
  • The draft post is under Posts, in Drafts.
A carousel draft lasts 72 hours. Click Make it a post before then, or the draft is deleted and the credits aren’t refunded.
