§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Luke opens with two bricks stacked: the dream outcome — articles becoming on-brand viral carousels — and a newness gate — 'you couldn't do this effectively until GPT Image 2 dropped a few weeks ago.' No pattern interrupt, no flashy intro. Just a clean promise plus a pry-bar of urgency that doesn't sound like urgency. The whole 22-second cold open is selling the idea that the moment to grab this workflow is right now, while it still feels new.
What the video promised.

Where the time goes.
00:00 – 00:22
01 · Hook + GPT Image 2 framing
Promise: blog article → viral carousel. Newness gate: 'we couldn't do this until GPT Image 2 a few weeks ago.'
00:22 – 01:06
02 · Custom CMS tour — the Digital Home
Dark dashboard tour: agent-written articles publishing daily, content idea board, list of live blog posts on the Insights page.
01:06 – 01:42
03 · Socials section — pulling in articles
Mirror view of every published article, ready for the carousel pipeline. One-click [Generate] kicks off the Claude API skill.
01:42 – 02:36
04 · Claude writes the 10 slides
Slide-by-slide reveal of the carousel copy: hook slide, body, frameworks, punchline. Fully templated structured output.
02:36 – 03:01
05 · The ONE GPT Image 2 prompt
Master prompt visible on screen. Copy → paste into ChatGPT image generation.
03:01 – 04:00
06 · Choosing brand-style references
Pinterest-like carousel-design board → picks 2–3 reference carousels with text-heavy + image-heavy slides as visual grammar.
04:00 – 05:30
07 · First carousel generation
Sends prompt + references → GPT Image 2 returns 10-slide on-brand carousel that matches the reference style.
05:30 – 06:24
08 · Three more brand examples (receipts)
Different brand, different references, same workflow. Shows the pipeline isn't tied to one aesthetic.
06:24 – 06:51
09 · Human-in-the-loop sermon
Why he deliberately did NOT make this fully autonomous: the writing automates, but human stays in design + final copy.
06:51 – 07:50
10 · Why content strategy comes first
Trends loop, content rooms, agentic publishing — the carousel pipeline only matters if the underlying article strategy is sound.
07:50 – 08:25
11 · The full closed loop
Trends → write → publish → carousel → social traffic → more conversions on the original article.
08:25 – 09:11
12 · Skool CTA + carousel skill drop
Pitch: 'Digital Home' build inside Brave Brand Skool community. The viral carousel skill itself drops in the community when this video goes live — that's the lead magnet.
Visual structure at a glance.
Named ideas worth stealing.
01:40concept
The Viral Carousel Skill (Claude API)
A Claude API system prompt that ingests a published article and outputs 10 structured carousel slides — hook slide, body slides, punchline slide. Sits behind a [Generate] button on the Socials section of his CMS.
Steal forMCN+ — every long-form blog post becomes a queueable carousel job
03:18concept
The ONE GPT Image 2 Master Prompt
Single templated prompt: 'Create a 10-slide Instagram carousel. Match the attached references exactly on every visual decision. Where photos or illustrations appear, generate new ones in the same style. ONE rule overrides the references — each slide gets ONE hero moment; whichever line is sharpest gets hero treatment, everything else stays quiet. Copy below, render exactly as written, line breaks included.'
Steal forany image-gen carousel workflow — the 'one hero moment' override is the line that makes it work
03:15concept
References-as-style-tokens
Instead of describing brand visual identity in words, attach 2–3 reference carousels (one text-heavy, one image-heavy, one cover) so GPT Image 2 infers the visual system. Few-shot for design.
Steal forany agency or solo creator who can't articulate brand guidelines but can curate references
00:25model
Digital Home — content engine architecture
- Trends loop (analyzes content performance weekly)
- Content idea queue (agent suggests)
- Drafting agent (writes on approval)
- Publishing layer (publishes to insights/blog page)
- Socials mirror (turns each post into carousel)
Five-stage pipeline where agents do the writing+publishing and the human approves+steers — not full autonomy.
Steal forMCN's existing CMS can be reframed and packaged into this exact pipeline shape
06:24concept
Human-in-the-Loop philosophy
'I deliberately didn't want to make this fully autonomous. I wanted the writing automated. I still want me directing and guiding the design and what the copy is saying.' Reasoned position against full agent autonomy.
Steal forMCN positioning copy — Joe's already on this side of the line

Lead-magnet stack: Skool community is the destination, but the *trigger* is the carousel skill itself dropping inside the community at the same moment the video goes live. Creates a deadline-style pull without sounding like a deadline. Soft, not pushy.
Word for word.

00:00What's up, my friends? So in this video, I'm gonna be breaking down exactly how to take published articles from your blog page and your website and turn them into viral social media posts. For me, this is a huge unlock. We haven't actually been able to do this effectively until gbt image two was released a few weeks ago. Now with this capability, we can design beautiful carousels at the drop of the hat
00:22using the content that is being published on our website every single day. So first things first, this is my digital home back end, aka my content management system that I have custom vibe coded and built as part of our digital home. So you can see here that every single day, our agent is going in here, new content ideas, writing it automatically, and then publishing it directly to our site. So you can see here how to become a brand AI agents recommend. If I click view,
00:51this goes directly to the front end of my website. Okay? So now currently, that's working and that's absolutely fine, but we wanna find a way to turn these into engaging viral style carousel posts that we can publish that look on brand and ultimately do the work of driving people back to our site so we can increase conversions and get more people hitting this call to action at the bottom. Okay? So what I've basically done is created a new section on my back end called socials.
01:19Alright. And this shell over here basically pulls in all of our published articles that are currently living on our site, and then I can basically go here and choose a post that I like. Okay. So for example, how to train AI to write in a voice without sounding like everyone else. I just click generate. And so what's happening right now is that this is calling Claude's API,
01:40and it's using a specific viral carousel skill that we created. Now it's reading our entire article, and it's going to turn it into a carousel that we can then go in and design using GBT image two, which I'm gonna show you in a second. Now I specifically didn't want to make this fully autonomous. I wanted to make the writing automated. So you can see this has now appeared here in ready for design. So I click into that, and you can see now we've got slide one, slide two, slide three, slide four, all the way to slide number 10. Okay? So at this point, I can now read the different carousel slides. So your AI content sounds like everyone else. That's not a tool problem. That's a you problem.
02:21Slide two. Every consultant on LinkedIn is using the same AI, the same hooks, same frameworks, same closing line, but . Okay? So, know, you this is looking pretty good. I can go in and make some edits and tweaks if I want, and I can copy the content if I want to do that. But essentially, what I need to do now is go over here on the right to my GPT image prompt and say, a 10 slide Instagram carousel.
02:44Use the attached images blah blah blah, you know, as reference. Okay? So I'm gonna copy this master prompt for GBT. I'm gonna go over here into GBT, and I'm gonna paste it. I'm gonna select create images. Okay? So now this is now ready to generate my carousel. Now what I need to do before I actually go out and do this is find a style of carousel that I ultimately like. Okay? So you will only really have to do this once until you find a brand style that you really, really enjoy.
03:14So I'm just gonna go carousel designs and just look for some inspiration. Okay. So I'm just gonna try and choose a carousel format that matches the amount of copy I have in the starting slide. So you can see I've got these. So I'm gonna find something which actually treats a decent amount of copy.
03:33Okay. So I kinda like this. It's really simplistic. So I'm just gonna copy that, go here, paste it as a reference, and I'm gonna try and get two to three references so we can see how to treat the rest of them. So we've got a bit of a format over here. I'm gonna choose this. Maybe Maybe one with images will be good.
03:55Okay. Let's just choose this one with an image as well. Alright. So we're selecting a decent amount. Okay. So I've got a title one. I've got a title slide. I've got a text heavy slide example, and then I've got a few image examples
04:11just for an image style if GPT wants to do that. So I've got my entire prompt there, a few references, and we're just gonna select create image and send that and see what it comes back with. Now specifically in this prompt, what you'll see is right at the beginning here, we say we want you to match the style exactly, but we also want where photos or illustrations appear, generate new ones that fit the copy inside the slide rendered in the same visual style as the references so it feels cohesive. Alright? So that's really important. And that's what I've loved about GPT image two is it just understands.
04:44It can really take an image and build on top of that. Alright? So that's been fantastic in regards to time saving. Now, obviously, if you have a very specific brand look and feel, you know, you're gonna wanna choose a reference which ultimately matches what your brand looks like. This is just an example right now just so I can demonstrate and show you how this ultimately works. Alright. So you can see here this is what ChatGPT is coming back with. So we've got our opening slide. We've got our sub slides underneath here. It's created specific images,
05:13and it's gone through and replicated the entire style for us. Now, obviously, I would go through, update my logo, etcetera, etcetera. I might tell it to space the content out a little bit more. But you can see here, just super simply in a few minutes, we've got a a brand style that we can replicate for other carousels. So just to show you some other ones I created using the same process, here were the examples that I gave it and this was the output.
05:37Okay? So insane. It created all of those images itself. You know, I didn't have to do any of that. Okay? So again, I did that for another brand. This was the reference.
05:48That was the post. And this was the output. K? You don't have a closing problem. You have a state problem. And so I thought this style was actually really cool, something I would really use for my brand. And then there was this one which was a little bit more creative, exactly the same prompt,
06:04different copy, and then it created the images on its own, which, guys, you know, this would have literally cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars if I got this on Fiverr. So, you know, you ultimately have, you know, a now that you can start using and start getting your marketing content out there as quickly as possible. Now this whole process end to end can be automated,
06:28but I think it's really important that when we are working with agents, we're not going fully autonomous mode just for the sake of it. I still want to have me in the loop directing and guiding the design and what the copy is saying. But the cool thing about GPT image two is I can describe edits. I can make tweaks, and I can create variations like this. So it's really perfect for carousels.
06:51Now what's really important is that you actually have the base content set up so that the content that is being produced for carousels is based on a sound strategy that is targeting what your clients are actually searching for. What are the problems they're struggling with on a daily basis? And your job from a content marketing perspective is to answer them as deeply as you possibly can.
07:14So that's the whole purpose of setting your digital digital home up and getting your evergreen content rooms to a point where these are publishing through an agentic process. And then we've got these being turned into multiple slides for carousels that you can then, you know, just take this GBD image prompt, pop it in, and Bob's your uncle, you've got a carousel
07:34that can drive more traffic to your actual insights and blog page on your digital home. Now you'll see here that this entire process of creating SEO optimized, geo optimized articles is incredibly important to have before you go out and create these carousels. The coolest thing about this process is our agents are deciding what content to post when because we have a weekly trends loop, which is analyzing how well content is performing and then tweaking the content strategy accordingly.
08:03So all I have to do is come in here, check, okay, cool, approve things, the agent writes it, publishes them, and then automatically when I just go over here and I click regenerate, I know that I've got a carousel that I can just copy and paste the prompt, find a reference, and then Bob's your uncle. You've got a piece of marketing copy that you can start publishing onto social media.

We've got an entire school community built to help you get your digital home up and running as quickly as possible, my friend. This is one of the most beautiful times to be alive.

§ · For Joe
Steal the format — verbatim.
MCN carousel pipeline playbook
This is the Modern Creator pitch in someone else's living room. The whole 9 minutes is a workable template for selling MCN's existing tooling.
- Open with dream-outcome + newness-gate. 'You couldn't do X until Y dropped a few weeks ago' is the urgency move that doesn't read as urgency.
- Show the custom backend on screen — MCN's 138-table dashboard photographs beautifully; lean into the dark UI.
- Demo ONE workflow end-to-end in real time. Don't cut during the API call. Let the viewer feel the wait.
- Steal the prompt verbatim, especially 'each slide gets ONE hero moment' — that's the override line that turns slop into a system.
- Use references-as-style-tokens for any visual generation: 2–3 examples beats describing brand guidelines in words every time.
- Show 3 receipts with different aesthetics — proves the workflow, not your taste.
- Soft-pitch into MCN+ at the end with the lead magnet being the skill itself dropping in the community when the video goes live. Time-bound without sounding time-bound.
- Position against full-autonomy hype: 'writing automated, design + final copy human-driven.' This is already where Joe stands; just say it out loud.
