An autonomous AI agent platform: you give an agent a goal in plain English and it plans, uses real tools, and delivers the finished work.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Actus has a free plan to get started, with paid plans that add higher limits and advanced features like scheduled automations and team workspaces.

Can agents run automatically on a schedule?

Yes — agents can run hourly, daily, or on a custom cadence, so routine work happens automatically without you starting it each time.

How is Actus different from a chatbot?

A chatbot replies with text. An Actus agent takes action: it uses real tools to research, write, build, and send, then returns a finished deliverable instead of just advice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe your goal in plain English and the agent plans and executes the steps. Agents can write and run code when a task needs it, but you never have to.

Do I stay in control of what an agent does?

Yes. Irreversible actions require your approval, every run has budget and step limits, and each step is logged so you can see exactly what happened.

AI Carousel Generator with Brand Kit

AI Carousel Generator with Brand Kit

Social media carousels drive engagement, but designing them manually is slow. An AI carousel generator with brand kit integration automates the design work while maintaining visual consistency. It applies your colors, fonts, and style guidelines to every slide, so the output looks professionally designed and on-brand without manual editing.

What a Brand-Integrated Carousel Generator Does

A carousel generator without brand integration produces generic slides. You get stock fonts, default colors, and layouts that look like they came from a template library. A brand-integrated generator applies your specific visual identity:

Colors: Primary, secondary, and accent colors from your brand palette.
Typography: Your chosen fonts for headlines and body text.
Style and mood: The visual tone that matches your brand (minimal, bold, editorial, playful).
Logo placement: Consistent branding on every slide.

This turns a 20-minute design task into a 2-minute review task.

Why Carousels Matter for Engagement

Instagram and LinkedIn favor carousel posts in their algorithms. Carousels encourage users to swipe, which signals engagement and increases reach. They also allow for more storytelling depth than a single image.

But most businesses struggle with carousel production volume. Designing 4–7 slides per post, maintaining brand consistency, and exporting correctly takes time. Automation removes the bottleneck.

How to Build a Carousel with Brand Kit Integration

Step 1: Define Your Brand Kit

Before generating carousels, document:

Primary color (hex code).
Secondary and accent colors.
Headline font and body font.
Logo file (SVG or PNG).
Visual style (e.g., "clean, minimal, lots of white space" or "bold, high-contrast, editorial typography").

This kit becomes the style foundation for every carousel.

Step 2: Write the Slide Content

Carousel content should follow a clear structure:

Slide 1: Hook (the reason someone should swipe).
Slides 2–6: Main points (one idea per slide).
Slide 7: CTA (what to do next).

Keep text concise. A slide with 50+ words is hard to read on mobile.

Step 3: Generate Slides with Brand Styling Applied

The AI generator takes your content and brand kit, then produces slides with:

Text formatted in your fonts.
Backgrounds and accents in your colors.
Consistent layout across all slides.
Logo placed in the same position on every slide.

You review the output, adjust any slide that needs refinement, and export.

Step 4: Export and Schedule

Export the carousel as individual images (1080x1080 for Instagram, 1080x1350 for portrait) and upload them to your scheduling tool or post directly.

Common Carousel Design Mistakes

Too Much Text Per Slide

A slide should communicate one idea in 10–15 words. If a slide requires paragraphs, split it into two slides.

Inconsistent Visual Style

If slide 1 uses bold typography and slide 3 uses a minimal layout, the carousel feels disjointed. Consistency matters.

Weak Hook

The first slide must make someone want to swipe. "5 Tips for X" is generic. "The mistake that's costing you 30% of your leads" is specific and compelling.

No Clear CTA

The last slide should tell the viewer what to do: visit a link, comment a word, save the post, or DM for more info.

Brand Kit vs. Manual Design

Manual carousel design in Canva or Figma gives you complete control but requires:

Choosing fonts and colors for every slide.
Ensuring consistency across slides.
Resizing and exporting individually.
Time: 15–20 minutes per carousel.

A brand kit-integrated generator applies your design system automatically:

Fonts, colors, and layouts are pre-set.
Consistency is enforced.
Export is one-click.
Time: 2–3 minutes per carousel.

Manual design makes sense for high-stakes brand campaigns. Automation makes sense for recurring content.

Example Workflow for a Service Business

A marketing agency publishes 3 carousels per week on LinkedIn. Their workflow:

Write content: Draft 7 slides covering a common client question (e.g., "How to audit your website for conversions").
Generate: Input the content into the carousel generator, which applies their brand kit (navy blue, white, bold sans-serif, minimal style).
Review: Adjust slide 4, which feels text-heavy.
Export and schedule: Export as 7 images, upload to their LinkedIn scheduler for Monday at 9 AM.

Total time: 10 minutes, compared to 30+ minutes designing manually.

Why Actus Agent

Actus Agent generates carousels with your brand kit applied automatically. It takes your content, applies your colors, fonts, and style, and produces slides ready to post. For businesses publishing carousels regularly, this is the difference between an hour of design work and a few minutes of review.
