Build an AI content workflow
around one useful idea
An AI content workflow is a repeatable process for turning a source brief into drafts, reviewing them and
preparing approved content for publication. Start with verified facts and one audience need, then adapt
the idea to each format with an appropriate prompt template.
01Create one source brief
Write down the audience, their question, the subject, supporting facts and desired next step. Add the language your brand uses and any claims that must not appear.
For a beginner pottery workshop, the source brief might contain the class format, duration, included materials, confirmed location, booking link and the concern “Do I need prior experience?” Every later draft should draw from that same source.
02Choose one primary piece
Pick the format that can explain the idea properly: a useful landing page, a tutorial or a video. Draft that
first so the shorter pieces have a clear destination and a consistent promise.
For the workshop example, use Landing Page Copy to explain who the class suits, what happens during
the session and how to book. Resolve factual gaps before adapting the page.
03Give each supporting piece a separate job
Use Instagram Carousel to answer the beginner's main concern through a short sequence. Use Short
Video Script to show what arriving and getting started feels like. If there is a longer video, use YouTube
Title & Description to package what that video actually contains.
Avoid asking every format to repeat the full landing page. Give each piece one useful angle and a next
step that fits where the audience encounters it.

04Maintain a small production board
Track the work with five fields:
| Audience question | Deliverable | Source link | Review needed | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Do I need pottery experience? | 5-slide beginner carousel | Brief_v1.2 | Confirm what participants make | Awaiting Review |
| What happens in first 15 mins? | 45-second arrival video script | Brief_v1.2 | Verify apron & clay prep details | In Revision |
| Is firing & pickup included? | Longform YouTube title & description | Brief_v1.2 | Verify 2-week turnaround date | Approved |
| Where do I sign up? | Primary Workshop Landing Page | Brief_v1.2 | Price verification lock | Certified & Live |
Keep the source brief linked to each draft. If a fact changes, use the board to find every affected piece
instead of relying on memory.
05Review in two passes
First, check accuracy: facts, links, dates, product details and whether the piece makes promises the source supports. Second, check usefulness: the opening, logical flow, tone and call to action. Review visual assets alongside the words. A polished image or thumbnail can still create an expectation that the content does not meet. Approve the combined experience before publication.
06Improve one part of the process
After publication, record what happened and what you learned. Look at evidence relevant to the goal, such as qualified visits, meaningful questions or completed bookings. Treat an isolated result cautiously; audience response has many possible influences.
Choose one improvement for the next cycle. Save useful templates with notes explaining the conditions
in which they helped.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pieces should I create from one idea?
Create only the pieces you can make useful and review properly. Begin with one primary piece and two supporting formats.
Adding volume before mastering quality control dilutes signal and exhausts editorial bandwidth.
Should the same person review everything?
Assign review according to the decision: a knowledgeable subject owner verifies facts, while an editor checks clarity and
consistency. Separating the factual validation pass from the stylistic pass prevents hallucinations from slipping through polished
prose.
