Best Practices

Feed Posts

• Grid Planning: Consider how individual posts look together in your profile grid
• Consistent Editing: Maintain consistent color grading and style across posts
• 1:1 vs 4:5: Use 1:1 for maximum compatibility, 4:5 for more visual impact
• Focal Point: Place key elements in the center for thumbnail cropping

Stories

• Safe Zones: Keep important content away from top 15% and bottom 20% for UI elements
• Vertical Thinking: Design specifically for vertical, not cropped horizontal
• Interactive Areas: Leave space for polls, questions, and stickers
• Bold and Clear: Content should be readable quickly

Carousels

• Hook First: Make the first image compelling enough to encourage swiping
• Visual Flow: Create a narrative or logical progression
• Consistent Style: Maintain same filters, fonts, and aesthetic throughout
• End with CTA: Use the last slide for call-to-action or summary

Reels Covers

• Thumbnail Appeal: Design for small preview in the Reels tab
• Clear Subject: Avoid busy backgrounds that get lost at small sizes
• Text Readable: If using text, ensure it is legible at thumbnail size

Prompt Tips for Instagram Content

When creating Instagram content, include these details in your prompt:

1. Format: Specify aspect ratio (1:1, 4:5, 9:16)
2. Content Type: Feed post, Story, Reel cover, carousel slide number
3. Brand/Niche: What type of account is this for?
4. Aesthetic: Minimalist, bold, vintage, modern, etc.
5. Color Palette: Specific colors or general mood (warm, cool, neutral)
6. Composition: Flat lay, portrait, lifestyle, close-up, etc.
7. Text Space: If you need room for captions or overlay text

Example Prompt Structure

"Create a [aspect ratio] Instagram [content type] for a [brand/niche].
Show [visual description] with [aesthetic/mood].
[Color and style preferences].
[Additional requirements like text space, grid consistency, etc.]"

Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"

Mode	Best For	Speed	Quality
max	Final content, portfolio posts, important campaigns	Slower	Highest
eco	Quick drafts, content planning, A/B testing concepts	Faster	Good

Multi-Turn Content Iteration

Use session_id to iterate on content and maintain visual consistency:

# Initial concept
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Create a 1:1 Instagram post for a jewelry brand, elegant and minimal"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "jewelry-content"
  }'

# Iterate based on feedback
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Make it more luxurious, add soft bokeh background with golden tones"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "jewelry-content"
  }'

  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Now create a 9:16 Story version of this same visual style"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "jewelry-content"
  }'

Content Calendar Batch Generation

Generate multiple pieces of content for planning:

# Monday motivation

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \

    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "mode": "eco"
  }'

# Friday lifestyle
