- 4-slide carousels sized 1080 × 1080 for IG + LinkedIn.
- Auto-rotating designs or a locked preset template.
- Multi-brand support for agencies.
- Create an account — email or Google from the login page.
- Complete onboarding — niche, audience, tone.
- Pick a delivery time — default 07:00 IST.
- Open the Dashboard — your first carousel arrives on schedule.
5 carousels / month · 4 slides · AI captions.
30 carousels / cycle · Daily Morning Ready · slide regenerate.
100 carousels · unlimited brands · auto-post on approval.
Every day at your chosen time, Shooks scans fresh news, picks a theme (topics repeat only after 75 carousels), writes four slides, generates the hero image, and drops it into your approvals queue.

- Skeleton previews live-update while a carousel is generating.
- Approve to publish, Decline to discard.
- Format & palette rotate daily for maximum variety.
