Open the original prompt in an assistant

We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.

Tips

  • Read the script aloud with a timer; cut anything that makes it run long.

Limitations

  • AI can make mistakes. Check names, facts and figures before you use the result.
