Prompt
Write a YouTube video script for a {{video_length}}-minute video about "{{video_topic}}" for my channel that covers {{niche}}.

Target audience: {{target_audience}}
Video style: {{video_style}} (e.g., talking head, tutorial, essay)

Structure:
1. Hook (first 15 seconds) — open with a surprising fact, bold claim, or relatable problem. No "Hey guys, welcome back."
2. Context setup (30 seconds) — why this matters right now
3. Main content ({{num_sections}} sections, each with a clear subheading I can use as a chapter marker)
4. CTA placement — weave in a subscribe/like reminder naturally at the {{cta_timing}} mark
5. Outro — end with a question that drives comments

For each section, include:
- [TALKING HEAD] or [B-ROLL: description] markers for editing
- Key point in bold
- Natural transition to next section

Write in a {{tone}} tone. Here is how I naturally speak: "{{voice_sample}}"

Variables to customize

{{video_length}}{{video_topic}}{{niche}}{{target_audience}}{{video_style}}{{num_sections}}{{cta_timing}}{{tone}}{{voice_sample}}

Podcast Episode Outline

Bullet points instead of a full script preserve natural conversation energy. The emotional arc structure keeps listeners engaged instead of front-loading all the value.

Thumbnail & Title Ideas

Studying competitor titles and past performance gives the AI real context. Ranking by risk level helps you A/B test strategically rather than guessing.

Content Repurposing Plan

The instruction to make each piece feel platform-native prevents the lazy copy-paste repurposing that audiences can spot instantly. Platform-specific hooks respect each algorithm's preferences.

Engagement Hook Generator

Naming the framework and target emotion for each hook teaches you the underlying psychology so you can write your own hooks over time, not just use AI-generated ones.
