Post & Carousel Generator
Revolutionizing carousel creation for social media with AI-powered content generation and professional templates
The Challenge: Content Creation at Scale
In the digital age, content creation has become a bottleneck for professionals and businesses. Creating engaging carousels for LinkedIn, Instagram, and other social platforms requires significant time investment, design skills, and creative thinking.
The challenge was clear: how to reduce the time and effort required to create professional-quality carousels while maintaining creativity and engagement?
This case study explores the design and development of an AI-powered tool that revolutionizes carousel creation, reducing creation time by 90% while maintaining professional quality.

The Detailed Story of Each Phase
Each development phase told a unique story. Let's dive deep into how each stage transformed our vision into reality, using the screenshots that document our journey.
The First Wireframe
Everything started with a simple question: “What would the ideal interface be for generating carousels with AI?”Using ChatGPT for brainstorming, we defined the fundamental structure that would guide all development.
The initial wireframe established the pillars of the experience: input form on the left, preview on the right, and a generated slides section below. It was simple, but contained the essence of what would become a powerful tool.
The Working MVP
After weeks of development, came the magical moment: the working MVP. The OpenRouter API integration was operational, and for the first time we were able to generate real carousels with AI.
The interface was basic, but functional. Users could enter a theme, choose style and tone, and in seconds receive 5 structured slides. It was the proof of concept that validated our vision - AI could really create relevant and well-structured content.
This was the moment that changed everything. Seeing the tool working gave us confidence to invest in more ambitious improvements.
The First Redesign - Modern Dark Mode
With the MVP working, it was time to think about user experience. The first redesign introduced modern dark mode and a more polished interface that reflected the professional nature of the tool.
The new design focused on visual hierarchy, better spacing, and a more intuitive layout. The dark theme not only looked modern but also reduced eye strain during long content creation sessions.
