The File-to-Draft Shortcut for Email Responses
Gmail's Help-Me-Write feature, powered by Gemini, isn't just an email drafting assistant. When you pair it with your Google Drive, it becomes something far more strategic.
In a recent AI Business Society training, Mike Allton explained how to prompt the Help Me Write feature to instantly reference the right case study, tailor your message to a prospect's industry, and send a response in minutes that feels thoughtful, not templated:
Using the @Google Drive extension, find all documents with 'case study' or 'client results' in the title. Review the email thread I have open from [Prospect Name/Company]. Identify their specific industry and pain points. From the files you found, select the most relevant case study that matches their industry. Then, draft a professional reply that: 1. Acknowledges their specific needs mentioned in the email. 2. Summarizes 2–3 key results from the attached case study. 3. Explicitly mentions that I have attached the [File Name] for them to review. 4. Proposes a brief call next Tuesday or Wednesday to discuss how we can replicate these results for them. Finally, attach the file to the draft.

AI Video Mastery: Creating Videos That Sell
The quality of AI video tools has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent months. The shift is going from awful to pretty darn good.
Eve Whitaker recommends Sora for first-time AI video creators because it has a forgiving nature and approaches prompting similarly to traditional film production.
The tool can generate multiple scenes within a single 12-15 second clip, which differs from most other AI video platforms that produce shorter, single-scene outputs. Even mediocre prompts tend to produce usable footage in Sora, though better prompts naturally generate better results.
How to Develop Your Shot List Prompts Manually
This is where you transform your pre-production plan into prompts for each video clip you want to produce. You have to decide on camera angles, movement, and framing for each shot before you start generating.
Instead of prompting for an entire 30-second commercial, plan individual shots. A shot list breaks your video into individual scenes with specific technical details, giving you control over the final result. Each entry should specify the shot type (wide, medium, close-up), the subject, the action happening, camera movement if any, and duration.
Tips to Structure Your AI Video Prompts
Start with mood direction to specify whether you want Pixar-style animation, documentary realism, or cinematic film quality. You can get technical by mentioning frame rates—24 frames per second looks more like film, while 30-35 frames per second looks more like video. The more specific information you provide about the visual style, the better Sora delivers what you envision.
Next, add our time code—literally stating "from 1 second to 3 seconds"—followed by what should happen in that window. Then describe what you want the camera to do and what your character or subject should be doing.
Include camera angles, whether you want music playing, exactly what you want your character to say, and any sound effects you need such as footsteps, door creaks, or wind. If you don't want music, you need to prompt "no music."
Here's an example structure:
Documentary style, 24 fps. 0-3 seconds: Drone shot flying over a city skyline, moving downward toward street level. 3-6 seconds: Medium shot of a car speeding around a corner. 6-9 seconds: Close-up of hands gripping a steering wheel tightly. 9-12 seconds: Wide shot of the car approaching an intersection. No music. Sound effects: engine roar, tire screech.
When you generate multiple separate clips, maintaining visual consistency becomes challenging. Sora doesn't remember previous renders, so you must use identical prompt language for setting, mood, lighting, and style across all clips in your sequence.
If your first clip specifies "documentary style, 24 fps, overcast natural lighting, desaturated color palette," every subsequent clip needs those same descriptors. Copy and paste this foundational language, then modify only the specific action and camera work for each new shot.
For character consistency without using the character feature, maintain extremely detailed descriptions. If your subject is "a woman in her 30s with long brown hair wearing a red sweater," that exact description must appear in every prompt. Even small variations can result in different-looking people across clips.
Tips to Reference Camera Angles and Shot Types
Incorporating basic camera terminology into your prompts significantly improves output quality. Learn and use terms like:
-
Establishing shot – a wide view showing the overall scene
-
Medium shot – frames a person from the waist up
-
Close-up – shows facial details or product features
-
Pan – where objects enter and leave the frame
-
Dolly – moving forward or backward
-
Zoom – moving closer to or further from the subject
These technical terms communicate precisely what you want to the AI system and activate the AI's training on professional cinematography. Instead of prompting for "a woman with coffee," you can say:
A medium shot of a woman holding a coffee cup, camera dollying forward slowly.
How to Develop Your Shot List Prompts With the Seed Scene GPT
Eve created a custom GPT called Scene Seed that guides beginners through this pre-production process. The tool asks questions about your vision and walks you through the story structure, helping you develop your ideas into prompts you can use in Sora.
