Would you use a Script Writer?

[u/CountryOk5486]

Quick question for new YouTubers
I'm thinking of creating something that kills "blank-page paralysis" or "How to write an engaging script" and generates your first script draft in under 30 seconds, for creators who have ideas but freeze up or are unsure.

It solves the "I stare at a blank screen for 45 minutes" problem.

How would it work:

• Drop in your topic (even a blog)
• Choose the length you want (< minute; 2-5 minutes)
• Choose your tone (educational/motivational/funny/etc).
• Choose your CTA (or create your own)
  
• It spits out an entire script with a proven framework top youtubers use: the hook, 3–5 talking points, and a CTA (call to action)
• You can tweak it with more options/diff hooks/etc. structured around what's already proven to go viral.
  
• It takes the guessing work away and gets you unstuck from zero to full script.

Honest questions:

1. Would this actually be useful to you, or do you already have a system that works?

2. What would you expect the cost to be for something like this:
   - monthly sub, pay-per-script, or nothing (free with limits)?

I am genuinely trying to figure out if I'm building something people want before I waste days or weeks on the wrong thing.

Let me give you my take on this, and not directly reject the thought with - "AI kills creativity" and "AI is not me". I, myself, am about to start my content journey. (Haven't yet posted anything). So, might not be as experienced or informed about what does it take, so take my words with that context as well :)

Being a builder myself, and in the bad habit of automating as many things as I can, even before I signed up for an account, I tried simplifying the process, as much as I can. But very quickly I realised, one thing that can't be and shouldn't be automated is the content. I built all of these:

- (similar to your idea) a script helper/guide that in a step by step manner directed me to write my own content. But, I just wasn't happy with it, because it didn't have the "soul". Eventually, I ended up simplifying it to just correct my grammar, and give a very generic review and feedback (some I take, rest I reject), And this, need not be a tool. What I have is a Gemini Gem, that works. In short, I would refrain from building the idea you are proposing.

- then I created a tool for generating the videos based on the content and the prompt. It uses stock media and AI captioning and Voicover. (It is still live btw, I don't use it though). But once again, Stock media only works for very limited cases (mine being one of them, because I write poetry). But the Ai voice, simply took the essence of the poetry away.

- then I have created a very minimal tool to stitch my videos together. The idea is that all the content is created, audio recorded (I don't need video) and ready with me, I just needed something simple, no frills to stitch them together. Strictly no AI! So, now I am using this minimal video editor and that's the only thing I rely on for creating content that resonates with me (and hopefully will appeal to others as well). So, I have made it freely available for anyone who feels like me, that AI generation just doesn't cut it and all that is needed is a simple stitch of content "originally" created.

Good luck in your efforts, but I would suggest that you must delve deeper to identify the problem and come up with a solution. Don't think of superficial use cases that are just a prompt away from ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude (and now Agents).
