With a chatbot
You get the parts, then the work starts
- Text you still have to lay out
- An image with the words baked in: one typo, one more prompt
- Claude Design makes decks and one-pagers, not feed posts
- No preview of the post, no posting for you

1. Words are not a carousel
Ask ChatGPT or Claude for a carousel and you get a list: slide 1, slide 2, slide 3. It may read well, but it isn’t a post yet. You still pick a design, place every line, fix what overflows, size it for the app and export it.
aiCarousels starts where the chatbot stops. Your ghostwriter writes for a swipe, not for a chat window: a cover that stops the scroll, one idea per slide, and an end slide with one ask. The design arrives with the words, and you change any of them with a click.
ChatGPT and Claude
A list of slide texts
- You lay out every slide yourself
- You size it for each app
- You write the caption separately
aiCarousels
The carousel itself
- Written, designed and sized in one go
- Caption written with it
- Every word editable afterwards
2. A picture of a slide is not a slide
ChatGPT can draw a slide as an image. The words are part of the picture, so a typo, a wrong number or a line you want shorter means another prompt, and the next picture rarely matches the last one. Its free plan has “limited and slower image generation”.
In aiCarousels the text is text. Every slide in a carousel wears the same theme, so slide seven looks like slide one, and AI pictures come in the theme’s style, 100 a month on Pro.
ChatGPT
Words baked into an image
- Fix a word, prompt again
- Each slide drawn on its own
- Matching ten slides is luck
aiCarousels
Real, editable slides
- Click a word, change it
- One theme across every slide
- AI pictures in the theme’s style
3. Claude Design makes decks, not feed posts
Claude Design is Anthropic’s “experimental product” for “prototypes, slides, one-pagers”, still in research preview. It’s built for presentations: it exports PDF, PowerPoint and HTML, or sends the deck to Canva. Its usage, like the rest of Claude, runs on limits that “reset on a rolling five-hour session window”.
A carousel is a different job. It lives in a feed, on a phone, between other posts, and the first slide has a second to stop the thumb. aiCarousels is built only for that: sizes and safe zones for each app, a cover written to be swiped, and a preview of the real post before it goes out.
Claude Design
Made for presentations
- Decks, prototypes and one-pagers
- Exports PDF, PPTX, HTML or to Canva
- Usage limits on a five-hour window
aiCarousels
Made for the feed
- Carousels sized for 5 platforms
- Preview of the real post, then post it
- 60 AI carousels a month on Pro
4. Who posts it
A chatbot ends with a download, at best. Then it’s you, a PDF and the LinkedIn composer.
aiCarousels Pro shows you the post as it will look on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, X and Threads, checks it, and then posts it to your LinkedIn profile with its caption, now or on the day and time you pick, even with the app closed. For the other apps, the slides download already sized, in HD and with no mark.
5. Already wrote it in ChatGPT or Claude? Keep it
You don’t have to throw that draft away. Paste it into aiCarousels with Import slides › Keep my words: every word stays as you wrote it, and the slides come out designed and sized in seconds. Or give your idea to a ghostwriter and compare the two.
6. What else comes with Pro
- Text posts. The same writers write LinkedIn text posts, with three other first lines and where “…more” cuts it.
- Image posts. One idea comes back as several designed image posts to pick from.
- Video posts. Your words over a moving clip, or any carousel as a swipe video, for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
- Start from what you already made: a web page, a YouTube video, a PDF or your notes, in any of 27 languages.
- Your brand on every slide with brand kits: colours, fonts, logo and the facts your writer may use.
7. The verdict
Use ChatGPT or Claude to think. Use aiCarousels to post. A chatbot gives you text, a picture or a deck, and leaves the design, the sizes, the preview and the posting to you. aiCarousels does all of it from one idea, and every word stays yours to change.
aiCarousels was the first AI carousel maker, in 2023, and it does one thing: carousels people stop to read. Pro is $15 a month, or $10 a month billed yearly, with carousels of up to 20 slides.
Frequently asked questions
Can ChatGPT make a carousel?
It can write the slide text, and draw a slide as a picture with the words inside it. You don’t get a carousel you can edit, sized for each app, with a caption and a preview. aiCarousels makes that from one idea, or from slides you paste in from ChatGPT.
Is Claude Design good for LinkedIn carousels?
Claude Design is built for slide decks, prototypes and one-pagers, and it exports PDF, PowerPoint, HTML or to Canva. It doesn’t size for each feed, preview the post or publish it. aiCarousels does all three, and posts to your LinkedIn profile on Pro.
Is aiCarousels better than ChatGPT for carousels?
For a finished carousel, yes: a ghostwriter writes every slide and the caption, 304 layouts and 95 themes design it, and it comes sized for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, X and Threads. ChatGPT is better as a place to think through the idea first.
Can I use slides I wrote in ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Paste them in with Import slides › Keep my words: your words stay exactly as written, and the slides come out designed.
