Context you provide
- {{product_or_service}}: The product, service, or topic the video is about.
- {{desired_action}}: The action you want viewers to take after watching (e.g., sign up, purchase, share).
- {{video_length}}: Approximate duration of the video (e.g., 30 seconds, 2 minutes).
- {{target_audience}}: Who the video is aimed at (optional but helpful).
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Brainstorm 3–5 attention-grabbing opening lines that immediately hook the viewer and relate to the product or topic.
- Develop a narrative arc that builds interest, presents the key message, and leads naturally to the call-to-action.
- Incorporate techniques to maintain engagement, such as pacing, emotional triggers, or humor where appropriate.
- Craft a powerful call-to-action that clearly tells the viewer what to do next and why.
- Provide the script in a clear, formatted structure with sections for opening, body, and closing.
Output format A structured script with headings for each section, including the opening lines, narrative arc, and call-to-action. Use a conversational tone suitable for video.
Guardrails

- Flag any assumptions you make about the audience or tone.
- Stay within the scope of the video script; do not include production or distribution advice unless asked.
