## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Search the web for the most important news from the last 7 days in [YOUR NICHE, e.g. real estate marketing], for [YOUR AUDIENCE, e.g. solo real estate agents]. Pick the 5 stories they'd care about most, and list each one with its source link.

Then build a 60-second animated news recap as one web page that plays by itself in the preview:
1. A 3-second intro card with [SHOW NAME, e.g. The Agent Weekly] and this week's dates.
2. One scene per story, about 10 seconds each: a bold headline, one plain-English line on why it matters to my audience, and a simple animated chart or icon if it fits.
3. An outro card: [YOUR CALL TO ACTION, e.g. Follow for next week's recap].

Use only facts from the sources you found. If a fact isn't confirmed, leave it out. Clean newsroom style, [BRAND COLORS, e.g. navy and orange], smooth transitions, no sound, [VIDEO SHAPE, e.g. vertical 9:16]. Start on one blank second and add a Replay button below the frame.
```

## Step by step

4. Record it with Shift-Command-5 (Mac) or Windows+Shift+R (Windows) and post it.
