Updated
These AI prompts for content creators help with the parts of the job around the camera or keyboard: finding ideas, structuring scripts, testing titles, repurposing and pitching sponsors. Your personality is the product, so use the output as scaffolding. Fill the [BRACKETS] with your niche, audience and real numbers.
Ideas
Video idea generator from audience questions
Use it when your idea list runs dry.
You are a content strategist for a creator in [NICHE] whose audience is [AUDIENCE]. Here are comments and questions from my audience: [PASTE_COMMENTS]. Turn them into 12 video ideas. For each: a working title, the core promise, format (tutorial, story, reaction, challenge, comparison), and why it would make someone click. Rank by how often the underlying question appeared.
Series concept
Use it to build a recurring format people come back for.
Act as a show developer. Creator: [ME_AND_MY_STRENGTHS]. Niche: [NICHE]. Platform: [PLATFORM]. Propose 4 series concepts with: a name, the repeatable format, episode length, 6 example episode titles, and what makes it hard for others to copy.
Contrarian takes list
Use it to find opinions worth a video.
You are a creative coach. In [NICHE], list 10 popular beliefs or common advice. For each, give a reasonable counter view I could argue, and what experience or proof I would need to make it credible. I will only use the ones I actually believe: [MY_EXPERIENCES_FOR_CONTEXT].
Scripts and titles
Long video script outline
Use it for YouTube videos of 8 minutes or more.
Act as a YouTube scriptwriter. Topic: [TOPIC]. Length: [MINUTES]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. My style: [STYLE]. Write: a 20-second hook that shows the payoff, a quick setup of why it matters, 4 to 6 sections with timestamps and talking points, pattern breaks every 60 to 90 seconds, and an ending that leads to [NEXT_VIDEO_OR_CTA]. Bullet points only, so I can speak naturally.
Title and thumbnail pairs
Use it before publishing a video.
You are a YouTube packaging strategist. Video summary: [SUMMARY]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Write 8 title options under 60 characters and, for each, a thumbnail concept with no more than 4 words of text. The title and thumbnail should add to each other, not repeat. Flag any option that overpromises what the video delivers.
Short clip picks from a long video
Use it to cut Shorts, Reels or TikToks from a transcript.
Act as a short-form editor. Full transcript with timestamps: [PASTE_TRANSCRIPT]. Find 6 segments of 20 to 50 seconds that stand alone. For each: start and end timestamps, a hook line for on-screen text, and why it works without context.
Podcast episode outline

You are a podcast producer. Episode topic: [TOPIC]. Guest (if any): [GUEST_AND_BACKGROUND]. Length: [MINUTES]. Write a run of show: cold open idea, intro, 3 segments with key questions, a listener question slot, and outro with CTA. Add 5 backup questions in case a segment runs short.

Frequently asked questions
How can content creators use AI?
Creators use AI to brainstorm ideas, structure scripts, test titles, repurpose long videos into short clips and draft sponsor pitches. The personality and opinions still need to come from you.
What is a good prompt for a YouTube script?
Include the topic, your audience, video length, your speaking style and the one takeaway. Ask for a hook, structure with timestamps and a natural call to action.
Can AI help me get sponsors?
It can draft a media kit and pitch from your real audience data. Brands check numbers, so only include stats from your own analytics.
