How to prompt Gemini for carousels in 2 mins:

___

1. Go to YouTube. Find a stupidly viral video.

2. Open Gemini to extract content from the video.

3. Copy paste this prompt:

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 comprehensive breakdown of the video content. Do not just summarize; extract the “meat” of the content using the following structure:

Core Thesis: What is the single 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 specific step-by-step process or 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 do Sales.
Good: The “3-Call Close” Technique: Why Most Salespeople Fail in the Follow-up.
