Ask podcast guests questions they've never been asked
Questions the AI can't answer from the material are your best ones, because only the guest knows the answer.

Claude and ChatGPT open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
I'm interviewing [GUEST NAME] on my podcast about [YOUR NICHE, e.g. small business marketing]. I've uploaded things they've written or said. First, give me a one-page brief: their big ideas in plain words, the stories they tell most often and where their views have changed over time. Then list the questions they've already been asked many times, so I can skip them. Next, write 12 fresh questions they haven't answered in these sources: tensions between two of their ideas, claims they made without explaining and what they'd tell a beginner in my audience. Finally, tell me which questions you couldn't answer well from the material. Those are probably the best ones to ask the guest.
Upload a guest's articles, book chapters or past interview transcripts and get a research brief, a list of questions to skip and fresh questions their other hosts missed.
Step by step
- Gather 2 or 3 things your guest wrote or said, like transcripts, articles or a book chapter.
- Start a new chat or Project in Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and upload them.
- Paste the prompt and read the brief.
- Ask follow-up questions until you understand their world well enough to push back.
What you'll get
A one-page guest brief, a skip list of overused questions and 12 fresh questions, with the ones only the guest can answer marked.
