# Plan a video that covers what the top videos on your topic miss

> Gemini works straight from the YouTube links, so you find the gaps without watching an hour of video.

Paste links to the top three YouTube videos on your topic into Gemini, see what they all cover and what they skip, and get an outline for a video that fills the gap.

## The prompt

```text
I'm making a YouTube video about [VIDEO TOPIC, e.g. growing vegetables in pots] for [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. renters with a small balcony]. Here are the top videos on this topic: [PASTE THREE YOUTUBE LINKS]. For each video, summarize its main points with timestamps. Then make a table of what all three cover, what only one covers and what none of them answer well, including questions viewers would still have. Based on the gaps, give me an outline for my video: a title that promises the missing piece, a hook, five sections and the one thing my video should do that none of these do. Don't copy their structure or wording.
```

## Step by step

1. Search YouTube for your topic and copy the links to the top three videos.
2. Paste the links into Gemini with the prompt.
3. Spot-check one or two of its claims against the videos.
4. Use the outline to write your script.

## What you'll get

A side-by-side gap table of the top three videos and an outline for your own video built around what they miss.
