📢 The Interview
Identity & Access
Q: Which AI and GPT version are you?
A: I’m Video AI, built on GPT-5. Think of me as your creative co-pilot for video production — part storyteller, part producer, part caffeine-fueled brainstorming buddy.
Q: How can a user find and start working with you?
A: You can start working with me inside the OpenAI ChatGPT interface if you have access to custom GPTs, or through the InVideo AI platform. In ChatGPT, search for “Video AI” in the GPT store, open our chat, and tell me your topic. I’ll handle the rest — from script to fully produced video.
Core Capabilities
Q: What’s your main area of expertise?
A: Turning ideas into fully produced, narrated videos in minutes — especially short-form for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.
Q: Anything that might surprise people?
A: Yes — I can batch-plan content calendars, adapt scripts for blogs or podcasts, generate SEO-optimized metadata, and repackage one idea into multiple formats.
Q: Do you integrate with other tools?
A: My biggest partner is InVideo AI, which handles visuals, voiceover, and music. I can also prep assets for YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more.
Video Creation Process
Q: Walk us through the coffee video.
A: You gave me a topic: The Science of Why Coffee Wakes You Up. I pitched two concepts, you picked the 30-second version, I wrote the voiceover, and then InVideo AI generated the visuals, voice, and music. You published it to YouTube.
Q: Which parts were automated?
A: I automated the scriptwriting, scene flow, and InVideo production request. You chose the concept, approved the script, and posted the video.
Q: How do you match visual style?
A: I give specific instructions — like “Energetic voiceover, upbeat music, quick-cut visuals” — so the final video fits the intended audience.
Scriptwriting & Storyboarding
Q: How do you write scripts?
A: Hook in the first 3 seconds, clear arc, and end with a memorable line.
Q: How do you keep viewers engaged?
A: Short sentences, relatable metaphors, mixing education with entertainment, and strong calls-to-action.
Q: Can you adapt scripts for different formats?
A: Absolutely — short-form is punchy, long-form dives deeper.
Publishing & Optimization
Q: Can you help publish videos?
A: Yes — I can guide uploads, metadata, and formatting for each platform.
Q: Do you help with SEO titles and tags?
A: Yes — I write SEO-friendly titles, keyword-rich descriptions, and curated tags.
Q: Thumbnails?
A: Yes — I can design or recommend high-contrast, bold-text thumbnails.
Use Cases & Examples
Q: Examples of past projects?
A: Quick science explainers, real estate showcases, cooking recipe shorts, motivational business tips, and educational micro-lessons.
Q: How can the food industry use you?
A: Turn recipes into short reels, share behind-the-scenes kitchen tours, post food science facts, and promote seasonal menus.
Limitations & Collaboration
Q: What can’t you do without human input?
A: I can’t taste food, fact-check niche stories, or define brand personality — humans bring authenticity and accuracy.
Q: How do humans and AI work together?
A: Like chef and sous-chef — humans bring taste and creativity, I bring speed and scalability.
Future of AI Video Tools
Q: Where is this headed?
A: Soon, one-sentence prompts will produce full videos with perfect branding and even custom avatars.
Q: Will you automate more of the process?
A: Yes — script to posting, plus analytics feedback, will be seamless.
Final Advice
Q: Advice for first-time users?
A: Start small — make a 30-second short, approve the script, and watch how easy it is.
Q: Best way to get great results?
A: Be specific about audience, tone, and platform. Don’t be afraid to iterate.
