Key Takeaways

- Set your topic, length, and audience in the brackets.
- Rewrite it in your own voice — authenticity is what keeps viewers.
A great video needs a great structure: a hook that stops the scroll, clear sections, and a strong close. This prompt turns your idea into a full script outline — hook, intro, main points, and call to action — tuned to your topic, length, and audience.
The prompt
Act as a successful YouTube scriptwriter. Write a video script for the following. Topic: [what the video is about] Target length: [e.g. 8 minutes] Audience: [who it is for] Goal: [e.g. teach, entertain, review, persuade] Write a script that includes: - A strong hook in the first 10 seconds that makes people keep watching - A brief intro that sets up the value - The main content broken into clear sections with talking points - A conclusion with a clear call to action (subscribe, comment, watch next) Keep the tone engaging and conversational, suited to the audience.
How to use it
Give it your topic, target length, audience, and goal. You will get a structured script with a hook, sections, and a call to action. Then make it yours — rewrite in your natural speaking voice, because authenticity is what actually holds viewers.
Tips for best results
- Nail the hook — ask for "5 alternative hooks" and pick the strongest.
- Match your length — a script for 3 minutes is very different from 15.
- Speak it aloud — edit anything that does not sound like how you actually talk.
- Add your stories — personal examples and voice are what AI cannot supply.
A quick example
Ask for an 8-minute script on "5 beginner mistakes in home cooking" for "new cooks", and you will get a scroll-stopping hook, five clear sections with talking points, and a close inviting viewers to comment their own mistakes.
