Studio

create_carousel

Create a new Instagram carousel in the Carousel Studio from an idea or brief: Dalea plans it, writes every slide in the brand's voice and language, and paints the artwork, exactly as the Studio does. Returns at once with the draft id and a status of "generating"; the carousel takes 1 to 3 minutes and the widget in the chat fills in by itself. Do not poll: call get_carousel_generation once when the user asks whether it is done, or before scheduling it with schedule_carousel_post. Write the idea as a short brief in the user's words (topic, angle, who it is for, what the last slide should ask). Confirm the brief with the user before calling. Counts toward the brand's monthly carousel limit.

“Make me a carousel about the three mistakes new creators make when pricing a brand deal.”

Say this to your assistant once Dalea is connected.
