Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

PromptTurn this AI research topic into 20 short-form video ideas
Beforegeneric AI agent
That's a great topic for shorts. I can brainstorm some ideas with you. What angle appeals to your audience most – educational, entertainment, or controversial takes? Do you have any trending sounds or formats you like? Are you more comfortable doing talking-head or animated content? Once I know your style and what platforms you're focusing on, I can suggest some concepts.
Afterwith Shorts Idea Machine
SHORT-FORM VIDEO IDEAS: AI Research Topic

→ TIER 1: HIGH ENGAGEMENT POTENTIAL
  1. "This AI Can Now Do Your Taxes" (platform: YouTube Shorts, 35s, trend-aligned)
     Hook: Demo tax return completion in real-time
     Format: Screencast + voiceover
     CTA: Subscribe for weekly AI breakthroughs

  2. "I Asked AI To Replace My Job – Here's What Happened" (TikTok, 45s, controversial)
     Hook: Direct prompt conflict with job description
     Format: Talking head + split screen (AI output vs human)
     Engagement: High comment debate expected

  3. "5 AI Shortcuts Nobody Knows About" (Instagram Reels, 30s, how-to)
     Hook: Text overlay "#5 SAVES HOURS"
     Format: Quick cuts, each tip 6-second segments
     Ending: Link in bio for full guide

→ TIER 2: STRONG SECONDARY PERFORMERS
  4. "Machines Learning Explained in 30 Seconds" (educational, any platform)
  5. "AI Fails Compilation – Hilarious Model Mistakes" (entertainment, viral bait)
  6. "I Paid $20 for AI Tool vs $500 Tool – Honest Comparison" (skeptical audience)
  7. "Interview: AI Researcher Predicts the Next 3 Years" (authority, expert opinion)
  8. "POV: Your Startup Idea But AI Does It Better" (startup audience)

→ BATCHING STRATEGY
  Film 20 shorts in one session (same lighting, same location)
  Edit 5 per day (reuse transitions, music, format for speed)
  Schedule across 20 days (1 per day on each platform for consistent feed)
  Monitor: Check CTR after 24h on Tier 1 ideas, double-down on highest performer
  Trap: Don't film shorts that feel like ads – authenticity drives shares
