|Team CapsAI

ChatGPT Web Interface
leverage the free ChatGPT UI for one‑off or exploratory script drafts.
- Open https://chat.openai.com and start a new chat
- At the system prompt, type:
You’re a video scriptwriter. Create a 5‑point outline and full script for a 2‑minute video on “[Your Topic].”
- Adjust temperature (0.2–0.5 for focused output) in settings
- Copy, tweak the bullets or dialogue inline, then export as plain text
OpenAI API via Python
embed script generation into your own tools or workflows.
pip install openai
import openai
openai.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
resp = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model="gpt-4o-mini",
messages=[
{"role":"system","content":"You’re a professional video scriptwriter."},
{"role":"user","content":"Write a 3‑point script for a 1‑minute product demo on [ProductName]."}
],
temperature=0.3,
max_tokens=500
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
Zapier + ChatGPT Automation
auto‑generate scripts whenever you add a row to Google Sheets or Airtable.
- Create a Zap: Trigger → “New Spreadsheet Row”
- Action → “OpenAI (ChatGPT)” using your API key
- In the prompt field, map:
- Topic column → user prompt
- Template: “Write a 4‑point YouTube Short script on {{Topic}}.”
- Action → “Update Spreadsheet Row” with the response
PromptLoop in Google Sheets
generate scripts directly inside your sheet with a formula.
- Install the PromptLoop add‑on from Google Workspace Marketplace
- In cell B2 (Topic in A2), enter:
=PromptLoop.run(
"You’re a video writer. Generate a 3‑step tutorial script on: " & A2,
"gpt-4o-mini"
)
- Drag the formula down to batch‑produce scripts for multiple topics
Notion AI Video Script Template
use Notion’s built‑in AI to draft and refine scripts alongside your project notes.
- In a Notion page, type
/ai video script
and select the template - Enter your topic and fill any custom fields (length, style, audience)
- Click “Generate,” then press “Regenerate” to tweak tone or pacing
Each of these methods turns ChatGPT into your personal screenwriter - pick the one that fits your workflow and scale up your script output effortlessly!
