How to read these pages
- The worked example is a prompt from the prompt library with its brackets filled in. Its test status is shown next to it.
- Costs are computed from the live credit prices, not typed. Drafting a script is free, and the estimate tool quotes the exact price before you pay. See what things cost and pricing.
- Public examples are videos we posted ourselves, with the account, the date and the numbers we read. The numbers are small and our own views are not excluded. Nothing here promises views or income.
- Looking for copy-paste prompts per channel type? See the recipes, MCP best practices and our case studies.
