7 videosBest for
- Warm audiences who trust your recommendations
- Follow-up content after a viral first-impression post
- Creators in the AI-tools / productivity niche
Shot-by-shot structure
- 0–3s: Low-energy intro. "Okay I'm trying this thing people keep telling me about."
- 3–10s: Screen on camera. Type a prompt you genuinely care about.
- 10–25s: Cuts between your face (reactions) and the screen (Rork building).
- 25–40s: Working app. Press buttons on the device. Show it's real.
- 40–50s: Honest verdict. "Not sponsored, I'm genuinely confused this works."
Tips
- Quiet energy beats hype here. Don't shout.
- Pick a prompt relevant to YOUR niche — not a generic "build me Instagram."
- Show the wait. Don't cut out the thinking time — that's where the trust is.
- Name the tool clearly at the end. Link in bio.
