The paste into Canva
Open the template, paste slide one, fix the overflow, paste slide two, fix the font, export, rename, repeat for every post.
Karou · carousels inside Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor
Ask for a carousel. Get the slides.
Karou is an MCP server. Connect it once and "make me a carousel about…" comes back as finished PNGs in the chat: your AI writes the slides, Karou does the design. No Canva, no copy-paste, no template to drag text into.
01The problem
The AI writes the slides. Then the real work starts.
Claude gives you six slides of text in thirty seconds. Turning them into six images takes the next thirty minutes, and that's the step most carousels never survive.
The template that drifts
Each carousel you make by hand looks a little different: one more margin, one wrong green. A month later the grid looks like four people made it.
The tool that lives elsewhere
Carousel generators want you to leave the chat, create an account, learn an editor. The draft is in Claude. The images are somewhere else.
02How it works
You talk. Slides come back.
Karou connects through MCP, the standard Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor already support. Your AI writes the content, calls Karou, and shows you the rendered slides in the same chat.
01
Connect once
Add Karou as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in. Cursor and Claude Code take a key. One minute, once per app.
02
Ask for a carousel
"Make me a carousel on the three pricing mistakes I made." The AI writes a hook, one idea per slide and a closing slide, picks a template, and calls Karou.
03
Post it
Thumbnails appear in the chat with a ZIP of PNGs (Instagram, TikTok) and a PDF (LinkedIn). Want a change? "Make slide 3 shorter." It re-renders.
03Templates
Three looks that work. Or your own.
Every carousel renders at 1080 pixels wide with safe margins, slide numbers and a swipe hint. Text sizes itself to fit, and Karou tells the AI when a slide has too much.
Boldbold
Dark ground, big heavy type, one warm accent. Reads at thumbnail size.
Cleanclean
White ground, lots of air, a thin accent bar. For tips and how-tos.
Editorialeditorial
Cream paper, serif headlines, centered, a hairline frame. Magazine feel.
On Pro, start from any of the three and make it yours: your colors, headline font, @handle on every slide, footer, alignment. Preview it on the web, then tell your AI "use my brand template".
04Works with
The AI you already pay for.
No new editor and no new subscription for the writing: Karou only renders. Your AI, on your plan, does the thinking.

06FAQ
What is an MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how AI assistants use outside tools. Once Karou is connected, your assistant calls it by itself when you ask for a carousel, the same way it searches the web or reads a file. You never leave the chat.
Which AIs does it work with?
Any AI that supports MCP connectors: Claude (web, desktop, mobile and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and more. Your account has setup steps for each one.
Who writes the slides?
Your AI does, from your prompt and your context. Karou never runs a model: it takes the slides the AI wrote (a hook, one idea per slide, a closing slide), lays them out in a template and renders the images. Nothing you write is sent to another AI.
What do I get back?
The slide thumbnails right in the chat, plus links to the full-size PNGs (1080 pixels wide), a ZIP of all of them for Instagram and TikTok, and a single PDF for a LinkedIn document post. Every carousel is also kept in your account.
What is the watermark on Free?
A small, nearly transparent karou.si mark placed at random on each slide. Pro renders without it. If you upgrade, ask your AI to edit an earlier carousel and it re-renders clean.
Can I use my own look?
On Pro, yes. Start from one of the three Karou templates and set your colors, headline font, @handle, footer and layout, with a live preview. Your AI then renders with it when you say "use my brand template".
What is the founder lifetime?
Pro forever for one payment, while the launch lasts. It starts at $97 and steps up every 100 sales, to $197; after that it closes and Pro is subscription only.
What if it's not for me?
Cancel a subscription any time from your account. For the lifetime, ask for a refund within 14 days and you get your money back in full.
