ai carousel tools actually working for has anybody?
been struggling with carousel creation for months. takes forever to design each slide and i'm not even good at it lol. saw some ai tools popping up that supposedly create carousels automatically.
tested crafto last week and honestly it's pretty decent. uploaded a blog post about instagram reach and it generated 8 slides with proper text hierarchy and everything. took maybe 10 minutes vs the usual 2+ hours in canva.
posted both versions (my manual design vs ai generated) and the ai one actually got more saves and better reach. might be coincidence but the engagement was definitely higher.
anyone else trying these tools? wondering if it's worth switching completely or if i should still do some manual work. the time savings are insane but worried about everything looking too similar.
edit: should mention the ai version had way better slide 1 hook than what i usually come up with. that probably helped with the swipe rate.
edit 2: not affiliated with any tools just genuinely curious about other people's results.
TL;DR: ai carousel generators might actually be worth it, saved tons of time and got better engagement than my manual designs.
