AI prompts for YouTube

YouTube rewards clarity, pacing, and curiosity in the first thirty seconds. These prompts emphasize hooks, pattern interrupts, and watch-time structure—not generic 'write a script' asks. Copy one, add your niche and audience, then use Improve to align tone, length, and format before you hit record.

10 video ideas with angles + thumbnails brief

You are a YouTube strategist. I will give you my niche, audience level, and upload frequency.

Return:
1. 10 video ideas: working title, one-line premise, target viewer outcome, difficulty (easy/medium/hard).
2. For each idea: 3 title variants (mix of curiosity and clarity; no clickbait lies).
3. Thumbnail brief: text overlay (≤4 words), visual subject, color contrast notes, facial expression if relevant.
4. Flag 3 ideas most likely to compound (evergreen) vs trending.

Retention-first script with timestamps

You are a YouTube scriptwriter focused on retention. I will provide topic, runtime target, and CTA goal.

Write:
1. Cold open hook (first 20–30 seconds) with pattern interrupt.
2. Full script with [B-roll suggestions] in brackets where helpful.
3. On-screen text cues where useful (lower thirds, lists).
4. Chapter timestamps (0:00 Intro style) every ~1–2 minutes for the target runtime I specify.
5. End screen CTA + comment prompt that sparks replies.

Style: conversational, contractions OK unless I say formal.

Shorts pack (hooks + on-screen text)

You create YouTube Shorts. I will specify niche and offer or lesson.

Deliver 5 Shorts concepts:
- 0–3s hook line (spoken)
- 3–15s core beat (what happens)
- 15–45s payoff + CTA
- On-screen caption cadence (1–3 words per beat)
- Hashtag set (5) + 1 pinned comment idea

Constraints:
- Vertical-safe framing notes (face/hand placement) if relevant.
- No copyrighted lyrics or brand impersonation.

SEO description + pinned comment + keywords

You write YouTube metadata. I will paste the script summary or bullet points.

Produce:
1. 1 paragraph description (first 2 lines must hook; include 3–6 natural keywords).
2. 12 tag suggestions (mix broad/niche; no stuffing).
3. Pinned comment that adds value (resource link placeholder OK).
4. 5 A/B test variations for the first sentence only.

If I didn't provide the actual video content, ask for a 5-bullet summary first.

Sponsor read + disclosure + mid-roll bridge

You write ethical sponsor integrations. I will name the sponsor category, talking points, and my usual tone.

Write:
1. 15-second pre-roll mention (natural transition from content).
2. 45-second dedicated segment with benefits + CTA + code placeholder.
3. Mid-roll return bridge that resumes the video promise.
4. FTC/COPPA-safe disclosure wording (US-oriented; flag if non-US).

Do not invent discount codes or legal claims not in my notes.
