The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan short training videos for new staff. My business: [what you do] Tasks new staff ask about or get wrong: [list] Who'll film: [me, a colleague] Where staff will watch: [phone, shared folder, WhatsApp group] First ask me up to 4 short questions. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A training plan: which videos, in what order, in the first week. 2. For each video: a 2-minute script and a shot list (close-ups where the detail matters). 3. On-screen captions for the key steps. 4. Three quiz questions per video to check understanding. 5. How to keep them up to date. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or figures. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
