Whether it’s getting ready for school, winding down for bedtime, or gearing up for a dentist visit, visual schedules make life easier (and way more fun) for both kids and adults! Here’s why they’re a game-changer:
✨ Simplify Tasks: Break down activities into manageable steps.
📅 Boost Confidence: Help kids feel secure and prepared with clear routines.
🌟 Tackle Transitions: Smoothly navigate new experiences and changes.
Step 1: Choose your Task 🎯

Step 2: Cast Your Hero 👦
Make your creation personal by adding your kiddo (or kiddos!) as the star of the visual schedule:
Enter details: Add their characteristics like age or hair color to create a character.
Upload a photo: Transform your child’s picture into a learning buddy.
Let Nookly choose: Want a quick start? We’ll generate a character at random.
💡 Reuse saved profiles anytime to keep your child’s familiar hero in every activity.
Step 3: Customize your Cards 🎨
🎨 Tailor and customize every detail!
Pick a Card Style: Pick from rules, sequential steps, or recurring schedules.
Set Reading Level: Match the text to your child’s reading ability.
Decide on the # of Cards: Highlight one task or step per card.
Add Details: Tailor your cards to make them unique to your learner.
Step 4: Edit Your Draft Language ✏️
🎨 Time to make any tweaks to your text or add your personal touches! You have two ways to edit text on your emotion cards:
Direct Text Editing
Click directly on the text you want to change.
Type your new word, phrase, or sentence.
Changes will save automatically.
Example:
❌ “wake up and stretch” → ✅ “Wake up!”
2. Chat with Nookly
Sometimes you want bigger changes, and that’s where the chat comes in. You can:
Ask for a complete rewrite of your cards.
Request simpler or more complex versions.
Suggest specific text you’d like swapped in.
Let Nookly generate another version for you.
Example prompts to try:
“Rewrite the schedule so that the whole day is all based at home.”
“Switch the order of the 1st and 6th cards.”

⚡ Pro Tip: You’ll still be able to edit text after images generate, so don’t worry if you change your mind later.
Step 5: Bring Your Cards to Life! 🎉
Your visual schedule will start generating (this usually takes ~5 minutes). As they cards start to appear, you can:
Edit text (add, remove, or tweak).
Stylize text (bold, resize, reposition).
Edit images with full controls.
Click the ✏️ pencil icon on any image to regenerate with tweaks. Use chat for detailed requests (the clearer your prompt, the better the results!).
✨ Your Image Editing Settings:
Zoom In/Out 🔍 – frame the character exactly how you envision.
Stability 🔧 – choose subtle or bold changes you'd like to see.
Expressiveness 🎭 – adjust how animated the hero looks.
💡 Tip: When you're editing using the chat, the way you phrase your request matters. Clear, specific prompts lead to the best results. [Check out this guide for examples of effective vs. less effective prompts.]
Once new images generate, pick your favorite—or keep tweaking until it matches your vision. You can edit one card at a time, and always return later for more changes.
✅ Don’t forget to hit Save Updates when you’re happy with an edit.
🎉 When your schedule is ready, click Save Edits & View.
It's Learning Time! 🎉
View Your Schedule: Toggle between static and interactive modes.
Interactive Mode: Drag completed tasks to create a checklist of accomplishments.
