As a creative, AI tools can be really useful for freeing up your time (and brain!). Delegating the motivation, organisation, and planning hurdles gives you more energy and space to create.
This post includes a bunch of done-for-you prompts you can edit to suit your own needs. Let’s get started!
Where to start with AI tools
There are a ton of different free and paid AI tools to choose from, so if you already have an AI tool you know and love, you can use it with these prompts.
If you’ve not used AI before, we recommend trying out one of these:
Gemini
Jasper
Claude
ChatGPT
Simply copy and paste a prompt from this download into the text box, and adjust or edit as needed to personalise it for you/your situation. If the results aren’t quite what you’re looking for, refine your prompt and try again.
Enjoy!
AI prompts for creators
Hacking popular ideas prompt
Based on the most popular episodes of podcasts on Spotify in the last year, give me 5 ideas of what I should record an episode about. My niche is [your niche] and my audience is [description].

Content repurposing prompt
Using blog posts from my website, pull 10 key quotes that people would find useful. Give me a long form version of each that would make a great and interesting caption for an Instagram post.
