You know the daily-tip carousel works. The bloggers and coaches you admire post one, swipe-worthy and on-brand, every single day. The catch is that each one needs copy and design, and doing both from scratch every morning is how good content habits quietly die.

This prompt builds the whole thing for you. Give the AI one health tip, your niche, and your brand colors, and it returns a complete carousel: the exact copy for every slide plus a matching image brief you can paste straight into an AI image generator or hand to Canva. By the end of this page you’ll also understand why it produces clean, consistent health coach carousel posts, so your next prompt is even better.

When to use this

• You want to post a daily or weekly tip carousel without designing from a blank canvas.
• You have a great tip in your head but no time to split it across slides and write the copy.
• You’re batching a week of content in one sitting.
• You want copy and image briefs that already match your brand colors and stay readable on a phone.

The prompt

Copy this whole block into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini:

You are an expert Instagram carousel designer and short-form copywriter for health coaches. Your job is to turn one health tip into a complete tip-of-the-day carousel: the on-slide copy AND a matching image brief for each slide, ready to drop into an AI image generator or Canva.

Before writing, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions if anything below is unclear. Otherwise, proceed.

CONTEXT
- My niche: {{NICHE}}
- My ideal reader: {{IDEAL_READER}}
- Today's tip: {{TIP}}
- Number of slides: {{SLIDE_COUNT}}
- My brand colors: {{BRAND_COLORS}}
- The action I want readers to take: {{CTA}}

TASK
Design the full carousel. For EACH slide, give me:
1. SLIDE COPY - the exact text that appears on the slide (a punchy headline plus, where useful, one short supporting line). Slide 1 is a scroll-stopping hook. The final slide is the call to action: {{CTA}}.
2. IMAGE BRIEF - a single descriptive sentence I can paste into an AI image generator, describing the visual for that slide (subject, style, mood, layout, where text sits), using my brand colors.

CONSTRAINTS
- Keep on-slide copy to a maximum of 12 words per slide so it stays readable on a phone.
- Keep one consistent visual style across all slides (same color palette, same illustration or photo style) so the carousel feels like one set.
- Plain, warm, human language. No medical claims, no scare tactics, no 'in today's fast-paced world', no jargon.
- Do not invent statistics, studies, or client results.
- Leave clear space in each image brief for the text to sit legibly.

FORMAT
Output a numbered list of slides. Under each slide number, label the two parts clearly as SLIDE COPY and IMAGE BRIEF. After the slides, add a CAPTION: a ready-to-post Instagram caption (2-4 short lines) ending with {{CTA}} and 4-6 relevant hashtags on a separate line.

How to customize it

Replace the six {{VARIABLES}} before you send it:

Here is the exact prompt, filled in for a gut-health coach. This is the whole input, nothing hidden:

You are an expert Instagram carousel designer and short-form copywriter for health coaches. Your job is to turn one health tip into a complete tip-of-the-day carousel: the on-slide copy AND a matching image brief for each slide, ready to drop into an AI image generator or Canva.

Before writing, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions if anything below is unclear. Otherwise, proceed.

CONTEXT
- My niche: gut-health coaching for busy professionals
- My ideal reader: stressed professionals who bloat after lunch and skip breakfast
- Today's tip: eat 30 grams of protein within an hour of waking to steady your energy and cravings
- Number of slides: 6
- My brand colors: sage green, warm cream, charcoal text
- The action I want readers to take: save this post and follow for a daily one-minute health tip

TASK
Design the full carousel. For EACH slide, give me:
1. SLIDE COPY ... [rest of the prompt unchanged]

And here is the complete output the model returns:

Slide 1 SLIDE COPY: “Bloated by lunch? Your morning is the problem.” IMAGE BRIEF: Flat-lay of a calm breakfast scene on a warm cream background, a single sage-green plate slightly off-center, soft natural morning light, minimalist illustration style, generous empty space at the top for charcoal headline text.

Slide 2 SLIDE COPY: “Most pros skip breakfast, then crash and crave by 3pm.” IMAGE BRIEF: Simple line-art clock at 3pm in charcoal on a warm cream background with a faint sage-green accent ring, lots of clean space around it for a one-line caption underneath.

Slide 3 SLIDE COPY: “The fix: 30g of protein within an hour of waking.” IMAGE BRIEF: Minimalist illustration of three protein foods (eggs, Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts) arranged in a neat row on warm cream, sage-green plates, charcoal labels, balanced negative space below for the headline.

Slide 4 SLIDE COPY: “Why it works: steady blood sugar means steady energy.” IMAGE BRIEF: A smooth, gently rising sage-green line drawn across a warm cream background suggesting steady energy, charcoal axis hints, clean upper area reserved for the headline text.

Slide 5 SLIDE COPY: “Fast wins: eggs, Greek yogurt, or a protein shake.” IMAGE BRIEF: Three simple sage-green icon cards in a row on warm cream, each holding one food icon in charcoal, evenly spaced with margins so short labels stay legible.

Slide 6 SLIDE COPY: “Save this. Follow for a daily one-minute health tip.” IMAGE BRIEF: Clean closing slide in sage green with a warm cream rounded card centered, a small charcoal bookmark icon, plenty of space for the call-to-action text in the middle.

---

CAPTION: If you bloat and crash by mid-afternoon, your breakfast (or lack of one) is usually the lever.

Front-load your protein and your energy stops swinging. Try it tomorrow and notice how 3pm feels.

Save this post and follow for a daily one-minute health tip.

That’s a full carousel you can build in minutes: paste each image brief into your generator, drop the slide copy on top, and post.

Why this works

Three LLM principles are doing the heavy lifting here. Learn them and every prompt you write gets better:

1. Role priming. The first line names a precise role: “expert Instagram carousel designer and short-form copywriter for health coaches.” That tells the model which slice of its knowledge to use. “Make me a carousel” pulls the bland average of the internet; naming the role pulls design and copy conventions that actually perform.
2. Specificity in, specificity out. The model can only be as concrete as your input. A vague tip (“eat healthy”) yields vague slides. A sharp tip (“30g of protein within an hour of waking”) gives the model real material to split across slides, so the copy and the image briefs both land. The quality of the carousel is capped by the quality of your {{TIP}}.
3. Constraints are quality control. The rules aren’t decoration. “Max 12 words per slide” stops unreadable phone screens. “One consistent visual style” is what makes six separate image briefs feel like one set. “No medical claims, no fake stats” removes the two ways health content gets a coach in trouble. And the “ask me up to 3 clarifying questions first” line lets the model fill gaps by asking instead of guessing, which is the single biggest fix for generic AI output.

Do this now

1. Copy the prompt above into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
2. Replace the six variables with your real niche, reader, today’s tip, slide count, brand colors, and CTA.
3. Send it. If it asks clarifying questions, answer them honestly.
4. Paste each image brief into your image generator, layer the slide copy on top, and post the carousel today.

Pro tips

• Reuse the visual style, swap the tip. Once you like the look, keep your {{BRAND_COLORS}} and style fixed and only change {{TIP}} each day. Your feed becomes instantly recognizable.
• Ask for a cover-slide variation. After the first output, say “give me two alternative hooks for slide 1” and keep the one that stops the scroll.
• Batch a week at once. Run the prompt with five different tips back to back and you’ve designed a week of posts in one sitting.
• Tighten the briefs for your tool. If you use a specific generator, add its preferred phrasing (aspect ratio, “no text in image”) to each brief so your copy layer stays crisp.
