Just rebuilt our carousel maker with full AI automation! ... feedback welcome 😁

Hey everyone, Just shipped a big update to UGCAlchemist and honestly not sure if we're solving the right problem. Would love your perspective.
I built UGCAlchemist to help founders create TikTok ads without hiring expensive UGC creators. Started with video generation, but kept hearing "carousels perform better but take forever to make."
So we rebuilt our carousel maker from scratch with AI. How it works now:
1. You write a simple prompt like "promote my coffee brand, emphasize sustainability"
2. AI generates text for 6-8 slides
3. AI picks matching images from your photo library
4. You get a ready-to-publish carousel with pacing, transitions, styling
5. Upload directly to TikTok Takes around 5 minutes instead of 2+ hours.
What I'm unsure about:
- Is this actually useful? Or are people fine spending time on carousels?
- Does AI-selected imagery feel "off" compared to manual curation?
- Should we focus more on customization or keep it simple and fast?
I'm a solo founder still figuring things out, so any feedback (even harsh) helps a lot. Happy to give access to anyone who wants to try it. Thanks for being such a helpful community
