Best AI Prompts for Content Creators (2025)

Produces a hook-first, retention-optimized script with timestamps — ready to record from.

Write a YouTube video script for a [duration]-minute video on the following topic:

Topic: [describe your specific angle, not just the subject]
Target viewer: [describe your audience in 1 sentence — their job, problem, or goal]
Channel voice: [paste 2-3 sentences from a video script you're happy with, or describe: casual/formal, humorous/serious, etc.]

Script structure:
0:00 - Hook (8-15 seconds): Start with the viewer's pain point or a bold claim. NO greeting, no "welcome back", no channel intro.
0:15 - Promise (15 seconds): Tell them exactly what they'll learn and why it matters to them specifically.
[1:00] - Main content sections with timestamps (number of sections based on length)
[X:XX] - CTA (30 seconds): One clear ask — subscribe, watch next video, or download something.

Format: use [TIMESTAMP] markers, write dialogue exactly as it will be spoken (contractions OK), include [B-ROLL] suggestions in brackets for key moments.

Generates 5 different hooks for the same video — test which one holds retention.

Write 5 different opening hooks (first 10-15 seconds each) for a YouTube video on [topic].

Target viewer: [describe who watches your channel]

1. Bold contrarian claim
2. Surprising statistic or fact
3. Relatable failure/mistake the viewer has made
4. Question that makes the viewer doubt what they know
5. "Here's what I wish I knew" opener

Format each hook as spoken dialogue, ready to record. Label them 1-5. No greetings, no channel mentions.
