Step 1
Generate caption and hook ideas
Paste your topic or offer into ChatGPT and ask for 10 short post hooks. Pick the ones that feel right and keep the text short, one punchy line per graphic.
Step 2
Create a branded template in Canva
Open Canva AI, use Magic Design to generate a starting template from your brand colors and niche. Lock your logo and font so every slide stays consistent.
Step 3
Generate custom visuals
For any graphic that needs a unique illustration or background, use Ideogram to generate text-accurate images that drop cleanly into your Canva template.
Step 4
Batch-export and schedule
Export all graphics from Canva, then upload them to Buffer which suggests the best posting times and auto-fills captions from your hooks.
