1.3M views in two days: how to make psychology cartoon explainers with Claude

A step-by-step guide to the psychology cartoon explainer: a cute cartoon, one trick of the mind, and a character people already know. Why a 72-second reel about cold reading passed 1.3 million views in two days, the Claude prompts for the script and every scene, and how postreadygo posts one every day.

How does a TV detective “read minds”? A 72-second cartoon explains cold reading: getting people to tell you things while it feels like you are telling them. It passed 1.3 million views in two days.

The format, and why it works

The account we looked at is @getcueva (CUEVA) on Instagram: 19 posts and about 16.6K followers as of November 12, 2026. Its bio: “the things you didn’t notice. psychology, mentalism, memory.”

The cold reading reel, posted on November 10, 2026, had about 1.3M views, 85.7K likes, 815 comments, 3,941 reposts and 12.6K shares two days later. Nine of the reels we could see were past 100K views, and one was at 1.6M.

• A famous name is the hook. People click for the character and stay for the trick.
• One trick per video. Fishing, the rainbow statement, the confident guess: one idea, explained simply.
• A cute, consistent cartoon makes the account recognizable in one frame.
• People share it to look smart. “Did you know this is how it works?”

What Claude is and how to get an account

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It can research, write scripts and prompts, and write the code that draws an animation in your browser.

1. Go to claude.ai or install the Claude app.
2. Sign up with your email address or your Google account.
3. Type your first message in the box at the bottom.

Step 1: Claude finds the tricks and writes the script

Script prompt

Write a 70-second script that explains cold reading through a famous fictional detective.

- Start with a question: how does he read minds?
- Explain 3 techniques, one at a time, in plain words
- Short sentences, two or three words on screen at a time
- Keep the psychology accurate and tell me your sources
- End with one line people will want to comment on

Describe characters in your own words and draw your own versions. Do not copy a show’s artwork.

Step 2: Claude writes a prompt for every scene

Scene prompts

Split the script into 10 scenes. For each scene, write a prompt for an AI image or animation tool:
flat 2D cartoon, the same curly-haired detective in every scene, simple shapes, bold background color, vertical 9:16.
Also tell me which words to show on screen in each scene.

Generate the scenes in the tool you like, add a calm voiceover, and put the captions on two words at a time.

Why posting by hand holds you back

• Five apps, five uploads. The same video, the same caption, again and again for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads.
• The wrong time. You post when you remember, not when your audience is online.
• One busy day breaks the streak. Then two, then a week, and the account stops growing.

With postreadygo, one message to Claude schedules a whole month: one video a day, each at its best time, on every platform at once. That is 30 posts a month per platform, without opening a single app.

Step 3: Connect postreadygo to Claude

2. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it postreadygo and paste: https://www.postreadygo.com/mcp
4. Click Connect, sign in to postreadygo and press Allow.
5. Test it: “List my postreadygo accounts.”

Step 4: One a day, on autopilot

Scheduling prompt

Write a caption for each that ends with a question.
Show me the plan before you schedule anything.

Can I use a real TV character?

Explaining what a character does is fine, but do not copy the show’s artwork or clips. Draw your own character and describe the idea in your own words.

How do I keep the psychology accurate?

Ask Claude for sources and check them. Avoid claims that sound like medical advice.
