SECTION 1 — Hook (0:00–0:20)
Film this section last. Record it after you know exactly what's in the video. The hook should tease the
most surprising trick.
YOU Your coworker — the one who seems to always finish everything first and
on camera,
direct to lens
never looks stressed? They're using AI. And they're not telling you about it.
YOU In this video I'm going to show you five things they're doing with ChatGPT that
slow down, lean
in slightly
most people in an office have never heard of. These are not the obvious stuff.
No 'ask it to write an email.' These are the tricks that actually save an hour or
two every single day.
YOU I'm going to demo every single one on screen so you can see exactly how it
fast, keep
energy up
works. Let's go.
SECTION 2 — Quick credibility (0:20–0:40)
Don't do a long intro. State who this is for and move on. Non-techies abandon videos when they feel
the creator is too advanced.
YOU Quick note before we start — I'm not a tech person. I work in [your field /
conversational
describe yourself]. I stumbled on these tricks over the last few months trying to
keep up with colleagues who seemed to be ten steps ahead. So if you're not a
developer, not a programmer, nothing technical — this is made for you.
SECTION 3 — Trick 1: The 'rewrite my email' prompt (0:40–2:00)
YOU Trick one. This is the one I use every single day without fail. It's for emails.
talking head intro
YOU So you've written a draft email. Maybe it's a bit long. Maybe you're not sure if
cut to screen
record
the tone is right. Instead of spending 20 minutes editing it yourself — you do
this.
SCREEN Paste your draft email, then type this prompt:
show ChatGPT,
paste email draft
PROMPT "Rewrite this email to sound professional but warm. Make it shorter. Remove

in large text
anything unnecessary. Keep the key ask in the last two lines."
YOU Watch what it does. [pause for demo] See that? That email was 180 words.
back on camera
Now it's 60. The tone is better. And I didn't have to think about any of it.
YOU The secret is the specificity. Don't just say 'improve this email.' Tell it the tone,
key tip
the length, where to put the main point. The more specific you are, the better
the output.
SECTION 4 — Trick 2: Instant meeting prep (2:00–3:20)
YOU Trick two is about meetings. Most people go into meetings having skimmed an
talking head
agenda. Here's a better way.
YOU Before any meeting, I paste the agenda or the topic into ChatGPT and use this
cut to screen
record
prompt:
PROMPT "I have a meeting about [topic] in 30 minutes. Give me: the 3 most important
show on screen
things I should know beforehand, 2 smart questions I could ask, and one
potential concern I should raise."
YOU In about 45 seconds you have a prep sheet. You walk into that meeting
back on camera
looking like the most prepared person in the room. I've had managers pull me
aside and ask me how I always have good questions ready. This is how.
SECTION 5 — Trick 3: The summariser (3:20–4:40)
YOU Trick three. This one is for anyone who has to read long documents, reports,
talking head
or research papers and is already exhausted just looking at them.
YOU You paste the document — or a long chunk of it — and you say:
cut to screen
PROMPT "Summarise this in bullet points. Give me the 5 most important takeaways.
show on screen
Explain each one in plain English like I haven't read it before."
YOU A 40-page report. Summarised. In about 30 seconds. I used this recently
back on camera
before a big presentation and I genuinely understood the material better from
the AI summary than I had from skimming it myself. That's not me being lazy
— that's me being efficient.
DEMO TIP: Use a real publicly available report (World Bank, NHS, company annual report) for the
demo. It feels more impressive than dummy text.
SECTION 6 — Trick 4: Build any template instantly (4:40–6:00)
YOU Trick four. Templates. If your job involves creating the same type of document
talking head
again and again — proposals, reports, briefs, plans — you're wasting hours
rebuilding the same structure every time.
YOU Here's the prompt that ends that:
cut to screen
PROMPT "Create a professional template for a [type of document] in my industry.
show on screen
Include all the standard sections, a brief note in each section explaining what
to write there, and make it ready to use immediately."
YOU You get a complete, structured template in about 20 seconds. You save it. You
back on camera
never build that document structure from scratch again. I've made templates
for project briefs, client proposals, weekly reports — all in an afternoon. Would
have taken me weeks to build those properly on my own.
SECTION 7 — Trick 5: The 'explain this to me' prompt (6:00–7:20)
YOU Trick five is my favourite. And it's the one that made me feel least stupid at
talking head —
this one should
work.
feel personal
YOU We've all been in a meeting where someone uses a word or talks about a
continue
concept and you have no idea what it means. You don't want to ask. You nod.
You Google it later and still don't really get it.
YOU Instead, you do this:
cut to screen
PROMPT "Explain [concept] to me like I'm smart but have never heard of it before. Give
show on screen
me a one-sentence definition, a real-world analogy, and tell me why it actually
matters in a work context."
YOU You can ask it anything. Industry jargon. Financial terms. Tech concepts.
back on camera
Legal language. It explains it in plain English and gives you enough context to
actually use it in conversation. That's been a genuine confidence-changer for
me.
SECTION 8 — Wrap-up and CTA (7:20–8:30)
This is where you convert a viewer into a subscriber AND an affiliate click. Don't rush it — deliver it
like you mean it.
YOU So those are five tricks. Email rewrites, meeting prep, document summarising,
back on camera,
relaxed
template building, and instant explanations. All free with the free version of
ChatGPT. All things you can start doing today.
YOU If you want to go further — and I mean significantly further — the paid version
slightly lean
forward

models, faster responses, and the ability to upload files and get summaries on
actual documents you're working on. The link for that is in the description. It's
about $20 a month and I'd say it pays for itself in the first week.
YOU If this was useful — subscribe. I'm posting new AI productivity tricks every few
