### Any chat model

```
Write a shot-by-shot outline for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. Use the green screen pattern: the speaker stands in front of the evidence: a screenshot, an article, a chart. Use real screenshots; generated screens carry invented text. How it works: the speaker small in the lower corner, the screenshot or article filling the frame behind them. Plain spoken language, no hashtags, no emoji. Tell me which one you would post first and why, in one line.
