💡 Pro Tip — Since TikTok doesn’t have a public API, getting data usually means fragile HTTP scraping. ScraperNode is a community node that gives you clean JSON for TikTok profiles, videos, and comments — drop it into your workflow and skip the parsing.

✨ Features

• AI-Powered Content: Utilizes xAI Grok to generate witty, substantive, 7-slide carousel content based on a theme and CTA.
• Multi-Platform Ready: Perfect for Instagram carousels, TikTok carousels, LinkedIn carousels, and X (Twitter) threads.
• Automated Design: Overlays AI-generated text onto your chosen background image, creating visually consistent slides.
• Easy Customization: Adapt the AI persona, font styles, colors, and background images to match your brand.
• Google Drive Integration: Seamlessly downloads your background template and uploads finished carousel slides.
• No Code Automation: Set up once and generate endless content with minimal effort.

💡 How it Works

1. Input Trigger: Provide a theme and call to action (CTA) via a webhook or manual trigger.
2. Content Generation: The AI (acting as “The Carousel Cynic”) writes 7 distinct slides, each with a provocative title and a detailed description, formatted for maximum engagement.
3. Image Assembly:
   • Downloads a base background image from Google Drive.
   • Loops through each of the 7 AI-generated slides.
   • Uses the Edit Image node to dynamically add the slide’s title and description to the background.
   • Outputs sequentially numbered .png files (e.g., 1.png, 2.png).
4. Output & Storage: Uploads all final carousel images to a specified folder in your Google Drive, ready for publishing.

🛠️ Setup Steps

1. xAI Credentials: Add your xAI API Key to the xAI Grok Chat Model node.
2. Google Drive Integration:
   • Connect your Google Drive OAuth2 credentials.
   • In the Download file node, update the File ID to point to your desired blank background image.
   • In the Upload file node, select the Google Drive folder where you want to save the generated carousels.
3. Customization (Optional):
   • Adjust AI persona in the AI Agent node’s “System Prompt.”
   • Modify fontSize, fontColor, positionX, and positionY in the Params Style Config node to perfectly align text on your background images.
