Use AI to Plan Your Videos Before You Spend Hours Filming

There is a point where creating video content becomes less about recording and more about figuring out what you’re actually going to say.

You sit in front of the camera, press record, start talking, stop, try again and suddenly an hour has passed.

You have several recordings, but you’re still not happy with any of them.

I’ve found that a lot of this frustration can be reduced before the camera even comes out.

The preparation matters.

When I’m working on content, I don’t want to spend unnecessary time trying to figure out the topic, the opening line, the talking points and the structure while I’m already recording. I’d rather organise those things beforehand so that filming has a clear purpose.

This is one of the ways I use AI in my content workflow.

ChatGPT can help me organise ideas, develop hooks, structure talking points and prepare scripts. Gemini can help with research and understanding longer videos. I can then use those notes to prepare content that is ready to film.

The goal isn’t to make every video sound scripted or perfect. It’s to remove some of the guesswork so that you can spend more time recording useful content.
