I turned 3 months of my AI workflow into 500 copy-paste prompts.
Story: People keep asking how I ship so much content without burning out. It was never talent. It was one loop-engineered prompt per recurring task.
Lesson: Random prompts give random outputs. A prompt system gives exact outputs, every time.
Actionable advice: I packed all 500 into one free download. Content, marketing, freelancing. Idea in, exact output out.
You: The download link is in the comments. Grab it free.
PS: No email wall.

A Friday pick from the archives. I made this for Whale a few months ago, and it’s still close to my heart.
The task was to explain a product with several features without making viewers work to understand it.
I kept the structure simple: the problem, the main solution, then the extras.
First, scattered company knowledge and the same questions being asked repeatedly. Then, how Whale puts answers inside the tools teams already use. Recording processes and training quizzes come later, once the main value is clear.
That order matters. Viewers should understand why they need the product before learning everything it can do.
I took the same approach with the animation: calm transitions, focused UI, and time to follow each action.
Still proud of this one. Not because I squeezed everything in, but because I gave the important parts enough room.
Title: Echo — a place you can only hear 🔊
Primary effect: Bring your own effect: "Echo" 🌊
invideo Editor timeline:https://invideo.io/share/ECHO-editable-timeline-n92j4troIbx
Process note:
🌑 Echo is a black screen where every sound sends a wave of light through the scene in real depth.
🎞️ Starting footage: one licensed stock clip of a temple corridor from invideo's stock library. The sound is original, synthesised for this piece. The voiceover is my own.
💬 What I asked for: a black screen where each ping lights the scene by distance, built from a depth map, with controls for each wave, afterglow, wave thickness, contour lines, outlines, colour and a final reveal.
🛠️ What was built: a depth map (Depth Anything Video), two "Echo" custom effects on the depth map (a Multiply layer for light and an Add layer for glow), an "Echo colour" effect on the footage, and keyframes for six waves and the reveal. The first build was done by Claude, connected to invideo Editor through invideo's MCP server.
🎚️ Refinement: I asked invideo's own agent (Agent Two Lite) in the editor to raise Afterglow from 0.14 to 0.3 on both Echo effects. It made the change on the timeline, and that conversation is shown in the video. I also tried a longer afterglow and a gold colour, both shown.
✅ All building and the final cut were done in invideo Editor.
Wow ✨
Attention, Contra people🚨
Only proceed if you're in the mood for a laugh😅
A while ago, I was working with a client who needed lots of video ads every month. And by "lots," I mean 36 videos, 3 hooks each, 2 formats.
That's 216 files. Every. Single. Month.
Sounds like a lot, but we were ready.
THEN... things got interesting.
40 videos. 5 hooks each. 3 formats. Yep, SIX HUNDRED.
In 2 weeks.
And what did we tell the client? "Pff... two weeks? Easy."
Turns out, I was a little too optimistic🙃
This took us over a month. Not exactly our proudest moment.
But hey, that little disaster pushed us to rethink our workflow.
And the system we built? It eventually allowed us to deliver
150 files in just 7 calendar days.
Have you ever underestimated a project's timeline and regretted it later?

The one I experienced was when a client gave me a project and provided a reference she wanted me to use as inspiration to build her website. I quoted her 10-14 days, but she said she needed it done in 5 days. I accepted it because I was desperate to get the project and I needed...
