How to get social media carousels in 2 minutes

3. Copy and paste this prompt:
===PROMPT_START===
Act like an expert Content Strategist and Senior Editor for a leading digital publication. Your goal is to repurpose video content into high-value written pieces that drive engagement.
Analyze the following YouTube video: [YOUTUBE LINK].
Part 1: The Extraction
First, provide a complete breakdown of the video content. Don’t just summarize; extract the “meat” of the content using the following structure:
Core Thesis: What is the most important argument or lesson in one sentence?
Key Data/Facts: List specific numbers, case studies, or hard facts mentioned.
Golden Quotes: Extract 3–5 verbatim quotes that are punchy or profound.
The Framework: If the speaker uses a step-by-step process or a specific mental model, outline it clearly.
Part 2: The Angles
Based only on the extraction above, pitch 5 narrow, specific article angles.
Constraint: Avoid generic titles like “Summary of [Video Name].”
Requirement: Each angle must take a specific slice of the content and expand on it.
Format: Provide a catchy headline plus a one-sentence premise for each angle.
Example of a “Narrow Angle”
Bad: How to sell.
Good: The “3-Call Close” technique: why most salespeople fail in the follow-up.”
