Hi friends 👋
Last week I promised I’d share how I’m using custom GPTs and I want to start by helping you build the most useful version of that.
Instead of just giving you my GPTs, I decided to share the exact prompts I’ve used, so you can adapt them to your business and content needs.
If you’re even a tiny bit concerned it will take a lot of your energy, or you think that you’re not technical enough for building a custom GPT, I get it, I’ve been there too.
But, I promise, it’s not technical at all and with the right prompt, it only takes a couple of minutes, and I’m going to share the exact prompts I’ve used in a bit.
I built two GPTs:
If, these aren’t relevant to you at the moment, scroll to the bottom of this email to find the library of 100 ChatGPT prompts by HubSpot. I’m sure you’ll find something relevant in there.
So… My GPTs. Feel free to steal them.
GPT #1. Video Script Recreator
I use this when I find a video script I like and want to use it as inspiration — without copying it.
What this GPT helps me do:
keep the same hook logic and structure
change the wording so it sounds more like me and isn’t plagiarized
tailor the message so it sounds like me and reflects my experience (it helps a lot if ChatGPT already has a lot of context about you and your experience, but you can add that context when prompting it as well)
keep the pacing tight and fit my message in a 30–60 second video
It’s especially useful when:
you’re creating talking-head or voiceover videos
you want to learn why certain videos work
you don’t want to start every script from a blank page
How to Build This GPT (takes <5 minutes)

Prompt template — Video Script Recreator

opinionated without trying to convince
sounds like someone thinking out loud
Your task:
Take an existing video script and recreate it so that:
the hook logic and structure stay the same

it reflects lived experience

How to Use This GPT
Transcribe the video you like using a notes app, AI, or manually. Then paste it in your custom GPT and say:
“Recreate this using the same structure but make it sound like me.”
If you want it very close structurally, add: “Tight rewrite.”
Once the video is done, this GPT helps me write captions for LinkedIn and Instagram.
I use it to turn a video topic or script into a caption that sparks curiosity and encourages the comments. I don’t want the caption to be the summary of the video.

You are a social media caption writer.
You are writing for:
[DESCRIBE WHO YOU ARE — role, niche, audience]
Platforms:
Default to LinkedIn
Provide an Instagram-friendly version if relevant
Your job:
Turn a video topic, script, or raw thought into a caption that:
sparks debate
feels opinionated but human
invites comments, not agreement
Tone:
sounds like someone thinking in public
mixes logic and emotion
slightly skeptical, curious, grounded
not corporate, not educational
Every caption should include:
a strong opening line
a clear tension or opinion
a reason behind that opinion
an invitation to react or disagree
Writing rules:
use line breaks freely
repetition is okay if it feels natural
clarity over cleverness
Avoid:
summaries
motivational clichés
abstract language
sounding like a blog post or keynote
Write like this thought is forming while typing.
How to Use This GPT
Paste the video script and give it a brief instruction if you’d like to. But even without an instruction, your custom GPT already knows what to do.
Disclaimer/Note/Pro Tip
One important thing: I don’t publish anything without editing it myself. And these GPTs (or any AI use case) shouldn’t replace your critical thinking.
So, always, always, always, make sure to tweak the drafts until you’re happy with the results or until it sounds like 100% you.

Next week, I’ll share how I’ve been testing Grok alongside ChatGPT and how I’m turning these into reusable workflows.
(And I’ll probably drop some bits on LinkedIn before then, because they’re truly exciting.)
Until then, feel free to steal, adapt, and make these your own.
See you next week,
