Prompt with Effort & Expertise
Blog, 1 min
Writing a novel, recording a podcast, and working on a business plan can take hours to months. But when we turn to AI, we expect great results in minutes. That’s the AI effort gap.
Hack your workflow
Static images to Video
You can now easily generate decent images in ChatGPT with minimal prompting skill. But what about turning those static images into dynamic short video clips? Here’s a quick workflow:
- Create your images in ChatGPT.
- Plan one image per scene for your video.
- Keep generating within a single chat to maintain a consistent visual style.
- Upload images to an AI video platform like RunwayML or KlingAI (see below) to transform them into short video clips.
- Combine the clips to create your full video.
- Bonus: Add background music created with a prompt using Google Music FX or Suno.
Example: Remember those LinkedIn action figure posts? I imagined OpenAI turning that into a profitable business with this exact method.
Tools & Apps
All-In-One AI Platform for Creatives
AI Creativity
Create and edit images and generate videos based on static images, sound, and more on one platform. It’s called KlingAI and recently gained a lot of popularity as it helped millions of people turn their static action figures into animated action figures. It’s free to get started.
- Hedra is similar, but more focused on character generation
Window and Tab Manager
Productivity
The out-of-the-box features in macOS for switching between applications are limited. TabTab solves that. A free version is available.
Creative AI Workflows
Design
Using this new platform called FLORA you can create AI generation workflows. You can connect a text, image, and video component to get input from each other. For example, provide an image, have it analysed, and give instructions to turn it into a video. This is interesting for anyone looking to automate asset creation creatively. I will test this more and share my thoughts in the next issue of this newsletter.

🔝AI Finds What Google Misses
I have made an interesting discovery: A blog post I wrote is nowhere to be found on Google Search but is rated as the most comprehensive article by ChatGPT and Gemini. My learning: AI is able to rate content quality and ignore classic SEO factors—users can benefit from this in the future.
