Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Turn a raw podcast recording into a finished, on-brand content package I can review before publishing.

Questions to ask me first:
- Where is the recording, and how long is it?
- Which pieces do you need (edited video, clips, thumbnail, article, email, social posts)?
- Is there anything that must be cut, like a false start or private conversation?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Raw recording file: [RECORDING]
- Examples of past episodes, articles and branding: [EXAMPLES]
- Parts to cut, with timestamps: [CUTS]
- Show name, hosts and guests: [SHOW DETAILS]

Rules:
- Match the style and branding of my examples; don't invent a new look or opinions.
- Keep the conversation itself intact; only trim what I listed and dead air at the start and end.
- Don't add facts or claims that weren't said in the episode.
- Deliver everything for my review; publish nothing.

Checkpoint: Show me the edit plan and clip choices before producing the final files.

If you get stuck: If a file is too long or a step fails, tell me which piece and what you need from me.

Verify before you finish: Make a list of every caption, claim, name and visual I should check before publishing.

Output: An edited video, short clips, a thumbnail, an article draft, social posts and a review checklist.

Done when: Everything is ready in one place, and I only need to review and approve it.

ChatGPT

Outcome

Right after recording an episode of The REM Advantage with co-host Taylor Hack, Andrew Fogliato gave ChatGPT the raw Zoom recording with one request: edit the video, make a YouTube thumbnail, write the article, create Instagram Reels clips and build the rest of the usual content. Fogliato also supplied examples of past episodes, articles and branding. About 25 minutes later ChatGPT had edited the video into a branded broadcast layout, removed the opening false start and a private section, and produced clips, a thumbnail and the full content package. One of the assets was a list of things a human should check, and the captions, article, visuals and facts still needed review before publishing. Fogliato had to buy additional usage credits after it burned through the included limit.

Context: Fogliato publishes Real Estate Magazine (REM). The finished assets still needed a human review before publishing, and extra usage credits were needed.
