AI prompt to write a YouTube video script

Consistent, helpful content keeps an agency visible in its community and builds trust before anyone needs a quote. AI drafts posts, emails, videos and web copy quickly, so an agent can publish regularly without a marketing team.

Below is a ready-to-copy prompt to write a YouTube video script, a detailed version that asks you clarifying questions first, and 2 specialized AI tools (Synthesia and Descript) with instructions for this task. It also works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.

The prompt

Write a 5-minute YouTube script titled 'Home insurance basics in 5 minutes' with intro, 4 sections, and outro. Educational, no guarantees or price claims; coverage depends on the policy.

Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)

Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (the audience, the channel and your agency's voice). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team.

Task: Write a 5-minute YouTube script titled 'Home insurance basics in 5 minutes' with intro, 4 sections, and outro. Educational, no guarantees or price claims; coverage depends on the policy.

What a good result looks like

A good script has a quick hook, an intro that says what viewers will learn, four short sections (what home insurance is, what it typically covers, deductibles, how to review a policy) and an outro with a gentle call to action. It's written to be spoken, with short sentences.

Common mistakes and watch-outs

Avoid saying 'you're covered for' or giving price claims, and add on-screen notes that coverage depends on the policy. Don't use client stories without permission. If you use an AI avatar or voice (for example Synthesia), label it as required and check your platform's disclosure rules.

How to adapt the prompt

Change the topic to auto, renters or flood, or cut it into short clips for social media. Descript can help edit the recording and remove filler words.
