Automate Instagram Carousels and TikTok Slideshows with n8n AI Agent
This AI Agent Carousel Maker uses ChatGPT and Blotato to write, generate, and auto-post social media carousels to 5 social platforms: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Simply chat with the AI agent, confirm which prebuilt viral carousel template you want to use, then the AI Agent populates the template with your personalized information and quotes, and posts to social media on autopilot. This is perfect for entrepreneurs, small businesses, content creators, digital marketing agencies, social media marketing agencies, and influencers.
How It Works
- Chat: AI Agent Carousel Maker - Chat with AI agent about your desired carousel and confirm quotes and carousel template to use
- Carousel Generation - AI agent calls corresponding Blotato tool to generate carousel, waits and fetches completed carousel
- Publish to Social Media via Blotato - Choose your social accounts and either post immediately or schedule for later
The system includes dozens of template styles, with more coming soon! Each one is based on a proven viral template format, so you don't have to second-guess design choices. Focus on your creative strategy, the message you want to share, and how you want your audience to feel.

Tips & Tricks
- AFTER your first successful run, open each carousel template tool call and tweak the parameters, but DO NOT change the "quotes" parameter unless you're an n8n expert
- When adding a new template, DO NOT duplicate an existing node. Instead, click '+ Tool' → Blotato Tool → Video → Create → select new template
- While testing: enable only 1 social platform, and deactivate the rest. Add optional parameter 'scheduledTime' so that you don't accidentally post to social media
Behind the Scenes: Coding with Claude Agents
The system uses Claude Code sub agents to help build carousel templates programmatically. It takes a screenshot/image and attempts to decompose it into distinct visual elements, such as text, background, groups, images, and videos. It determines the correct hierarchy and relationship between elements, then maps everything to a domain specific language for template generation.
