How to Create 60 Days of Content in under 1 Hour using Claude + Canva 💻

About this video

Hayes shows how to batch-create 60 days of branded social media content in under an hour using Claude and Canva, avoiding generic ‘AI slop’ by doing one-time setup first. Setup one: in Claude, go to Customize > Connectors, browse connectors, and add Canva so Claude can act inside the Canva account from a chat. Setup two: create a dedicated Claude Project (she names hers ‘social media marketing’; other examples include email marketing, product creator or blog writer projects) and add custom instructions covering brand voice, words, emojis, style and formatting, so every chat in the project follows them — she offers a free Claude starter pack with copy-and-paste templates for this. Setup three: build the Canva brand kit (a Canva Pro feature) with brand colors, fonts, logos, photos, graphics and brand voice; she offers a linked free 30-day Canva Pro trial. Setup four: create brand templates — pick an Instagram post 4x5 canvas, apply a Canva template, restyle it with brand kit colors and fonts, label each text box by its role (hook, slide headings, explanation text, call to action), lock elements Claude must not change (such as a logo or handle), then save via Share > Brand template. She makes a carousel template and a simple single-post template for a tip or quote, and duplicates the single-post template to 40 pages so one batch can fill them all. Generation: inside the project, she asks Claude for 40 motivational quotes or educational tips for a chosen audience (demo audience: homeschooling women), reviews the list, confirms the Canva connector is toggled on, then tells Claude to create a design for each using her named brand kit and single post template, and opens the resulting 40-page design in Canva. For carousels, she asks for 20 educational carousel ideas with three main points each, following her template outline (slide 1 hook, slides 2–5 main points, slide 6 call to action), reviews them, then has Claude build them from the carousel brand template — noting Claude may ask to create an ‘autofill’ version of the template, which should be saved with ‘autofill’ in its name. Minor tweaks may still be needed, such as longer text overlapping a design element.

Key takeaways

• Connect Canva inside Claude (Customize > Connectors) so Claude can create designs directly in the Canva account from a chat.
• Work inside a dedicated Claude Project with custom instructions for brand voice, wording, emojis, style and formatting, so every generation follows them automatically.
• Set up the Canva brand kit (Canva Pro) with colors, fonts, logos and voice, and build labeled brand templates — locking logos/handles and other elements Claude must not change.
• Duplicate a single-post brand template to as many pages as you plan to batch (she uses 40 pages), then have Claude generate the tips/quotes list first, review it, and only then fill the template.
• For carousels, give Claude the exact slide outline from the template (hook, main-point slides, call to action), review its ideas before building, and save an ‘autofill’ template version if Claude asks to create one.
