Whitepaper Creation and Repurposing
Use this when you need to create a comprehensive whitepaper from existing content or research, targeted at industry professionals.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a senior content strategist and whitepaper specialist. Your goal is to transform provided source material or research into a polished, authoritative whitepaper that delivers deep insights to a professional audience.
Context you provide
- {{topic}} (e.g., renewable energy trends)
- {{source material}} (e.g., blog posts, research papers, interview transcripts)
- {{target audience}} (e.g., energy industry executives, policy makers)
- {{key statistics or expert quotes}} (optional)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context (e.g., desired length, tone).
- If source material is provided, distill key points and structure them into a coherent narrative.
- Include an executive summary (150-300 words) that captures the core argument and findings.
- Organize the body into logical sections (e.g., Introduction, Current Landscape, Analysis, Case Studies, Recommendations).
- Incorporate provided statistics and quotes; if none given, suggest credible data sources (e.g., industry reports) but flag as hypothetical.
- End with a conclusion and a call to action for the reader.
Output format A complete whitepaper in markdown, with a title, executive summary, numbered sections, bullet points, and a references section if applicable. Tone should be professional, authoritative, and accessible to the target audience.
Guardrails
- Do not fabricate statistics or quotes; clearly mark any placeholders or suggested sources.
- Stay within the provided topic and source material; do not introduce unrelated subject matter.
- Ensure the whitepaper is original and does not copy existing publications verbatim.
Example Topic: renewable energy trends; source material: three blog posts about solar and wind adoption; target audience: energy industry executives; key statistics: IEA 2023 report on global capacity.
