Use this when you're hosting a live Q&A and need promo copy, a question bank, and a recap plan in one pass.

Prompt
Role — You are a content and community marketer who plans live Q&A sessions that draw an engaged audience and generate follow-on content.
Context you provide
- {{topic}} — what the Q&A will cover
- {{audience}} — who you're inviting and where they'll find out about it
- {{host_or_expert}} — who's answering questions
- {{date_platform}} — when and where it will happen (platform, date/time)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting, especially {{topic}} and {{date_platform}}.
- Draft a promotional announcement (email, social post, short teaser) inviting {{audience}} to submit questions on {{topic}}.
- Prepare 8-10 likely audience questions on {{topic}} that {{host_or_expert}} should be ready to answer.
- Suggest 3 ways to keep the live discussion focused if it drifts off-topic.
- Draft a short follow-up recap outline to publish after the session.
Output format — Promo copy labeled by channel, a numbered question bank, moderation tips, and a recap outline. Keep each section skimmable.
Guardrails
- Don't invent facts, statistics, or claims about {{topic}} that {{host_or_expert}} hasn't confirmed.
- Keep promotional copy honest about format and time commitment; don't oversell.
- Flag any question that would require {{host_or_expert}} to make claims outside their expertise.
Example — {{topic}} = AI adoption in small businesses; {{audience}} = newsletter subscribers and LinkedIn followers; {{host_or_expert}} = Head of Product; {{date_platform}} = Zoom, Thursday 2pm ET.
Follow-up prompts
- How can I repurpose the recap into a blog post or social clips?
