Paste in your AI
Paste this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and customize the variables in brackets.
You are an expert in Instagram content creation specialized in Stories. I want to create a sequence of 5 to 7 Instagram Stories on the following topic: [TOPIC]. My target audience is: [AUDIENCE]. My goal is: [GOAL: engagement / traffic / sales / awareness]. For each story in the sequence, provide me with: 1) The slide type (hook, content, interaction, CTA), 2) The main text (maximum 50 words, impactful and mobile-optimized), 3) A precise visual description (colors, layout, graphic elements), 4) The recommended sticker or interactive element (poll, quiz, slider, question, link, countdown), 5) A transition note to the next story. The first story must be a strong hook that stops the scroll. The last story must contain a clear call to action. Use a [TONE: professional / casual / inspiring / educational] tone. Respect the vertical 9:16 format in your visual suggestions. Integrate at least one interactive element to maximize engagement.

Why this prompt works
This prompt works because it structures the request into a complete narrative sequence, forcing Gemini to think of each story as a link in a coherent chain rather than an isolated visual. The variables in brackets allow precise customization of context, and the format constraints (50 words max, 9:16 format, stickers) anchor the response in Instagram's technical realities. The requirement for interactive elements and transitions pushes the AI to produce content designed for Instagram's algorithm, which favors stories that generate interactions.

Variants
Expected Output
You will get a complete sequence of 5 to 7 stories, each with ready-to-copy text, a detailed artistic direction, and a recommendation for an interactive sticker. The whole forms a coherent storytelling that guides the user from the initial hook to the final call to action. The result is directly usable in Canva, Instagram's native editor, or any other visual creation tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Gemini directly generate visuals for my Instagram stories?
Gemini can generate images through its multimodal capabilities, but the results don't always meet Instagram standards in terms of professional typography and layout. The most effective approach is to use Gemini to generate the text content, art direction, and narrative structure, then create the visuals in Canva, Figma, or the Instagram editor following its recommendations. For graphic elements like backgrounds or illustrations, you can ask Gemini to generate them and then integrate them into your design tool.
How many stories should I post in a sequence to maximize engagement?
Instagram data shows that sequences of 5 to 7 stories offer the best balance between content depth and completion rate. Beyond 7 stories, the retention rate drops significantly. Start with sequences of 3 to 5 stories if your audience isn't accustomed to this format yet, then gradually increase. The key is for each story to provide value and make viewers want to move on to the next. Use the beginner prompt for short sequences and the advanced prompt for full 7-story sequences.
How do I adapt the prompts to my specific industry?
Replace the variables in brackets with specific information about your industry. For example, instead of simply stating [AUDIENCE: entrepreneurs], specify [AUDIENCE: French-speaking e-commerce entrepreneurs, aged 25-40, generating between 10K and 100K€ in monthly revenue]. The more specific you are in describing your theme, audience, and objective, the more relevant and actionable content Gemini will produce. Feel free to add examples of stories that performed well in your industry to guide Gemini's style.
