module 07 (New)

Summary

The instructor demonstrates how to build a script-writing AI agent for short-form video content. A user submits a video idea through a form, the AI generates a script, and the result is saved in Google Docs.

Build the script generator

1. Create a form in Zapier Interfaces

   • Ask Zapier Copilot to build the form, or create one manually from a blank form.
   • Add fields for name, email, and video idea.
   • Create a table to store form submissions as records.

2. Connect the form to a Zap

   • Add an action to create a Zap workflow. Zapier automatically uses the form submission as the trigger.
   • Test the trigger to confirm that the user’s name, email, and idea are received.

3. Configure the AI agent

   • Add AI by Zapier and provide a system prompt that describes its role as a professional short-form video script writer.
   • The instructor uses ChatGPT to draft a detailed prompt, then maps the form’s video-idea field into it.
   • Be specific about the desired result. The agent may initially return suggestions or planning notes instead of a finished script, so request a clear format—for example, a concise, plain-text script with an introduction, key points, and conclusion.
   • Configure output fields, such as a Video Script text field, so the workflow returns the script in a usable format.

4. Save the script in Google Docs

   • Connect a Google account and select a Drive location and document.
   • Map the AI’s script output, rather than its topic or planning fields, to the Google Docs action.
   • If the output fields or mappings change, update the final Zap step. Otherwise, the document may not receive the script.

5. Test and publish

   • Submit a sample idea through the form.
   • Verify that the submission appears in the table and that the generated script is added to the selected Google Doc.
   • The instructor notes that AI by Zapier is a paid feature and mentions a 14-day free trial.

The instructor encourages viewers to build and test the workflow several times, then share a screenshot of the result by email or in the course Discord’s Daily Progress area.
