Best Practices

Visual Consistency

• Color Palette: Maintain the same colors across all slides
• Typography: Use consistent fonts and text hierarchy
• Layout: Keep text and graphic positions predictable
• Spacing: Maintain uniform margins and padding

Content Flow

• Hook First: Slide 1 must capture attention immediately
• Clear Progression: Each slide should flow naturally to the next
• Value Per Slide: Every slide should deliver value or advance the story
• Strong CTA: End with a clear call-to-action

Platform Optimization

• Safe Zones: Keep important content away from edges (10% margin)
• Text Readability: Ensure text is legible at mobile sizes
• Swipe Indicators: Visual cues that encourage swiping
• Standalone Value: Each slide should work if viewed individually

Prompt Tips for Carousels

When creating carousel content, include these details:

1. Slide Count: Specify total number of slides
2. Format: Mention aspect ratio (1:1, 4:5, 16:9)
3. Platform: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.
4. Style: Modern, minimalist, bold, elegant, etc.
5. Color Scheme: Specific colors or mood
6. Content Structure: What each slide should contain
7. Text Placeholders: Where text should appear

Example Prompt Structure

"Create a [number]-slide [platform] carousel ([aspect ratio]).
Slide 1: [content description]
Slides 2-N: [content pattern]
Final slide: [CTA description]
Style: [visual style], [color scheme]."

Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"

Multi-Turn Carousel Creation

Use session_id to maintain consistency across slides:

# Start the carousel
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create slide 1 of 5 for a fitness tips carousel. Bold title slide with energetic colors.",
    "session_id": "fitness-carousel-project"
  }'

# Continue with same session
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create slide 2 - first fitness tip about morning stretches. Same style as slide 1.",
    "session_id": "fitness-carousel-project"
  }'

# Request adjustments
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "The colors are too bright. Regenerate slide 1 with more muted, earth tones.",
    "session_id": "fitness-carousel-project"
  }'
