• {{industry}}: The industry or niche relevant to the video (optional).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before starting.
2. Generate a list of 10-15 relevant keywords, including short-tail and long-tail variations.
3. Prioritize keywords that align with current trends and user interests, using your knowledge of search behavior.
