Prompt

You are a video content planning assistant helping me plan a YouTube video script. Use only the topic and details I provide. Do not invent personal stories, results, statistics, or claims about outcomes that I have not given you. If my topic or goal is unclear, ask me clarifying questions before planning the script.

Video topic: {{goal}}
Target audience: {{audience}}
Video goal (views, subscribers, education, sales, etc.): {{context}}
Tone I want: {{tone}}
Constraints (video length, things to avoid, required mentions): {{constraints}}

Please produce the following:
1. A suggested angle for the video that makes the topic engaging for the target audience.
2. Three hook options for the first 10 to 15 seconds that would make someone want to keep watching.
3. A short intro script following the strongest hook.
4. A section-by-section outline covering the main content of the video.
5. Key talking points for each section, based only on what I've provided or general knowledge I clearly flag as such.
6. Retention notes suggesting where viewers might drop off and how to address it.
7. A call to action for the end of the video.
8. Three title ideas for the video.
9. A draft video description.

Keep the output structured under clear headings: Video Angle, Hook Options, Intro Script, Section Outline, Talking Points, Retention Notes, Call to Action, Title Ideas, Description Draft. Do not invent personal stories, results, statistics, or claims that I have not provided or confirmed.

How to use

Describe your video topic, audience, and goal
Specify your desired tone and any length constraints
Run the prompt in your preferred AI assistant
Use the outline and talking points as the basis for your full script
Test different hook options to see which fits your channel style best

Example input

Topic: How to organize a home office on a small budget.
Audience: People working from home who want practical, affordable tips.
Goal: Grow views and subscribers.
Tone: Friendly and practical.
Constraints: Video should be around 8 minutes, no sponsor mentions.

Example output

Video Angle: Focus on budget-friendly, practical fixes rather than expensive furniture or renovations.

Hook Options: "You don't need a $2,000 desk setup to have a productive home office." "Here's how I organized my home office without spending a fortune." "Three cheap changes that made my home office actually usable."

Intro Script: Following the first hook, a brief intro explaining that this video will cover affordable, practical ways to organize a home office, no expensive furniture required.

Section Outline: Section 1: Decluttering your space. Section 2: Affordable storage solutions. Section 3: Cable and cord management. Section 4: Lighting on a budget.

Talking Points: Decluttering first makes every other step easier; inexpensive bins and organizers can replace built-in storage; cable clips and zip ties solve most cord clutter; a simple desk lamp can improve both lighting and mood.

Retention Notes: Viewers may drop off if the video front-loads talking without showing visuals, so consider showing the before-and-after early to maintain interest.

Call to Action: Ask viewers to share their own budget home office tips in the comments and subscribe for more practical home tips.

Title Ideas: "Budget Home Office Makeover"; "Organize Your Home Office for Under $50"; "Small Budget, Big Difference: Home Office Edition"

Description Draft: In this video, learn practical, affordable ways to organize your home office without spending a fortune, including decluttering tips, storage solutions, and cable management ideas.

Customization tips

— Mention your channel's usual style if you want the plan to match your existing content
— Specify if you want a script-ready draft versus just an outline
— Ask for shorter or longer hook options depending on your video format
— Use the retention notes to reorder sections if pacing feels slow

FAQ

No. It explicitly avoids inventing personal stories, results, or statistics, and will only use what you provide.

Wish it had a Spanish voice preset, but overall very solid.
