The problem
Making new content every day is exhausting. Most businesses already have good material sitting in one long video or talk that only a few people saw.
Step by step
- Choose one strong piece: a talk, a how-to video, a long post or a recorded Q&A.
- Get a transcript. Most video tools make one automatically.
- Ask the AI to find the five most useful moments and suggest a short post for each.
- Cut short clips of those moments, with captions.
- Ask for a short email and a blog post built from the same material, then edit both in your voice.
The prompt
Here is the transcript of {what it is} by {business name}.
Find the 5 most useful or surprising moments. For each give: the timestamp or quote, a one-line hook, and a social caption under 60 words.
Then outline a 600-word blog post and a 150-word email using the same ideas. Use only what is in the transcript.

Replace the {highlighted} parts with your details, or fill them in with the prompt builder.
Check before you use it
- Quotes are accurate and not taken out of context.
- Clips make sense on their own.
- Captions are correct, especially names and numbers.
Privacy
- Get permission from anyone who appears in the video before reusing it.
Do’s and don’ts
Do
- Start with your best piece, not your newest.
- Add captions: many people watch with the sound off.
- Spread posts over a few weeks.
Don’t
- Change what someone said to make a better clip.
- Post all ten pieces on the same day.
- Forget to link back to the full version.
When not to use AI for this
If the original was a private client session or internal meeting, do not repurpose it.
