Write a YouTube script for my channel using the inputs below. Keep factual claims within my source material. Do not invent statistics, personal stories, test results, quotations, product features, or expert opinions. VIDEO TOPIC AND PROMISE: [VIDEO TOPIC] TARGET VIEWER AND THEIR CURRENT PROBLEM: [TARGET VIEWER] CHANNEL VOICE AND REFERENCE EXAMPLES: [CHANNEL VOICE] SOURCE FACTS, LINKS, NOTES, OR REQUIRED POINTS:
[SOURCE MATERIAL] TARGET LENGTH AND FORMAT: [TARGET LENGTH AND FORMAT] Build the script around one clear viewer payoff. Start with a cold open of 20 to 35 seconds: name the tension, make a specific promise, and preview the mechanism or result without giving away every point. Do not begin with a channel greeting. Produce: 1. A title with 3 alternatives and a thumbnail-text option of 2 to 5 words. Avoid claims the video cannot demonstrate. 2. A timed outline showing the hook, setup, main beats, pattern interrupts, recap, and close. 3. A full spoken script with scene or B-roll directions in brackets only where they clarify the visual. Use short spoken sentences, concrete transitions, and one idea per beat. 4. A retention note after each main section stating the open loop, contrast, demonstration, or question that earns the next section. 5. A natural call to action that follows the video’s value, not a generic subscribe request. For tutorials, teach in the order a viewer must act. For analysis, separate observation from inference. For opinion, label it as opinion. Before answering, check that the opening delivers on the title and that every stated fact is supported by my source material. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [VIDEO TOPIC] | State the video subject, the key promise, and any angle you want to take. | How I organize a one-person consulting pipeline without a complicated CRM. |
| [TARGET VIEWER] | Describe who will watch and what they are trying to learn, solve, or decide. | Independent consultants with 3–15 active leads who lose track of follow-ups. |
| [CHANNEL VOICE] | Describe your speaking style and paste brief examples or reference channels if useful. | Calm, candid, slightly skeptical of productivity theater; short examples and no hype. |
| [SOURCE MATERIAL] | Paste the facts, research, examples, products, or points that the script may use. | Use a weekly pipeline sheet, three stages: new, active, waiting; review every Friday; do not claim this works for teams. |
| [TARGET LENGTH AND FORMAT] | Give the target runtime and format, such as tutorial, essay, review, or talking-head video. | 8-minute talking-head tutorial with screen recordings. |
How to use
- Paste your source notes before asking for a script; the model cannot verify a claim it has not been given.
- Choose one viewer problem and one promised outcome instead of covering every related topic.
- Read the first 35 seconds aloud and remove any setup that delays the payoff.
- Follow up with: “Tighten this to [LENGTH] minutes and preserve the hook, proof, and teaching sequence.”
Variations
Product review
Use this for a review based on hands-on use.
Write a balanced YouTube product review of [PRODUCT] using my [TESTING NOTES] for [TARGET VIEWER]. Create a title, 25-second hook, timed outline, and [TARGET LENGTH] spoken script. Cover setup, real use cases, limitations, alternatives, and who should not buy it. Separate my observations from manufacturer claims, and flag any assertion not supported by my testing notes. Include B-roll directions for evidence such as screens, setup steps, or comparisons. Ask up to 3 questions only if a required input is missing.
Video essay
Use this for a researched argument or cultural analysis.
Write a [TARGET LENGTH] YouTube video essay about [THESIS] for [AUDIENCE], based only on [SOURCES AND NOTES]. Produce a provocative but accurate title, a hook that frames the central tension, a chaptered outline, and a full narration script. Build the argument through evidence, counterargument, and conclusion; distinguish documented facts from interpretation. Suggest visuals by source type, not copyrighted footage to copy. Check that the conclusion follows from the evidence and that no source is misrepresented. Ask up to 3 questions only if needed.
Shorts script
Use this for a vertical video under one minute.
Write a [DURATION]-second YouTube Short about [TOPIC] for [TARGET VIEWER], using [VERIFIED POINTS]. Produce three hook options, one spoken script, on-screen text cues, and a final line that creates a useful next action. Put the surprising fact, mistake, or outcome in the first two seconds. Use one core idea, no introduction, and simple language that can be followed with sound off. Do not add facts beyond my notes. Check that every on-screen cue matches the spoken line. Ask up to 3 questions only if required.
Tips
- Write the title and opening together; a broad title paired with a narrow opening causes viewers to leave because the promised video never starts.
- Use visuals to prove or clarify the spoken point, such as a before-and-after screen or a simple diagram, not as decoration.
- For an eight-minute video, plan several changes in visual framing or activity so the viewer is not watching one uninterrupted monologue.
- If a claim depends on a study, product specification, or current event, provide the source and date in your notes before scripting.
FAQ
Can AI write a script in my voice?
It can imitate patterns from examples you provide, but you should revise phrasing that you would not naturally say.
How detailed should my source notes be?
Include the facts, examples, caveats, and sequence you need. The more specific the source material, the less likely the draft is to rely on generic filler.
Should I include a call to action?
Yes, but connect it to the video’s next useful step, such as a related video, template, or question for viewers.
