ChatGPT writes the words. Carousel Studio makes the carousel.

ChatGPT is good at brainstorming and drafting copy. A carousel also needs a structure, consistent slides in your fonts and colours, and a file you can edit. Carousel Studio does all of that inside Canva, and it also works from inside ChatGPT through MCP.
