AI Summary

Poppy is an AI-powered YouTube script writing tool that specializes in integrating your existing videos, research notes, and brand voice to generate content that sounds like you. This walkthrough demonstrates how to set up a 'board' using source material, business details, inspiration channels, and video ideas, then generate and edit a script. The tool's unique mind-map interface and focus on personalization are its standout features.

[00:00]
Problem with typical AI scripts

Most AI tools generate scripts that sound robotic or 'written by a motivational toaster'. Poppy addresses this by using your own videos, ideas, and brand voice.

[00:29]
What makes a good AI script writer

The need is not for maximum word count, but for organizing ideas, finding strong points, and producing natural-sounding scripts that don't cause frustration.

[00:45]
Leverage templates

Poppy uses templates like 'Create viral YouTube titles and scripts' to structure the process, providing a mind-map-like visual workflow.

[01:14]
Source material integration

A key advantage is the ability to input your own videos, channel, or research notes as source material, ensuring the script reflects your actual opinions and content.

[01:44]
Using business context

You can provide details about your business, ideal client profile, or even record audio via a 'record' button to give Poppy complete context.

[02:10]
Incorporating brand voice

Example text describing the brand voice was added: 'I test and demo software tools…' This helps the script match the creator's tone and style.

[02:36]
Inspiration from similar channels

You can add YouTube channels for inspiration, and Poppy will use their structure/template but rephrase it in your own unique voice.

[03:02]
New video idea input

The final input step allows you to paste or type your video concept. In the example, this is a video on AI presentation tools similar to the inspiration channel.

[04:12]
Mind map generation

Poppy's unique feature is the visual mind map where all inputs feed into the script generation, described as a 'Matrix-style' instant learning of your style.

[04:43]
Script output and editing

After generation, the script estimates length (e.g., ~9 minutes) and allows for natural editing via chat-like interactions, making it easy to 'humanize' sections.

[07:09]
Who should use Poppy

Suitable for consistent YouTubers who work with research or existing videos and want a repeatable scripting system. It may be overkill for occasional creators.

[07:41]
Final verdict

Poppy.ai is the current best AI YouTube script writer because it combines research, source material, brand voice, and structure into an effective first draft, removing the friction between idea and script.

[00:00] Most AI tools can write a YouTube script. The problem is that many of those scripts sound like they were written by a motivational toaster. Poppy is the best YouTube script writing tool I've tested because it can use your videos, research,

[00:14] ideas, and even your brand voice before it writes anything. And if you'd like to try Poppy, you can click the link down below in the description of the pinned comment to try for just one dollar. Let me show you how it works. So what makes a

[00:29] good AI script writer, I don't need AI to produce the most words. I need it to organize my ideas, find the strongest points, and give me something that sounds natural enough to record without developing a personal grudge against every sentence. And what better way to do that than

[00:45] leveraging templates that Poppy gives you? Here I'm going to be under YouTube, and as you can see, this is going to be a really good one. Create viral YouTube titles and scripts. Yes, let's click on that. Thank you so much. And at a glance, this is going to give you an idea of how

[00:59] Poppy Works. It's kind of like a mind map where you just plug in the information in these specific steps and it shows up right here, which I'll walk you through the steps. Let's click on Use Template. So when it comes to the first step, we can start with source material. I think the biggest

[01:14] advantage Poppy has is that I can give it material I want the script based on. So instead of asking it to invent my opinion, I can connect my videos, my YouTube channel, research notes, and even brand As an example, what I'm going to do is do control V for paste and here's going to be

[01:30] my specific channel. I'm going to do quick add channel to board. Let's remove this and all we have to do is drag and drop it in right here. This is telling us that we wanted to use this specifically when it comes to my voice overall. Now what you can do is actually be a little bit

[01:44] more specific. You can actually just go in and use a specific video, but for this it can use my entire channel. That's going to be fine enough. Let's go down to the next aspect right here. My business give poppy everything it needs to know about your business so any docs text on your business ideal client profile and so on and so forth and even if you don have any of these you can just use the record button pretty much drag it over there talk into it and put it right there But I do have something

[02:10] I'm going to add it in one moment. And let's go over to the left and click on the text. Let's drag it in here. Let's do paste, boop, and just like that. I test and demo software tools to help online marketers and business owners quickly

[02:23] figure out what's worth using and what isn't. Let's scroll down to the next one which is going to be optional. Do you have a channel that you like or anyone that's similar to you that you want to get some inspiration from? I do in this example. Give me one moment.

[02:36] And once again, control and V. We have a channel right here, Loading Elegant Teams Channel. Let's give it a second. And great. Quick add channel to board. Let's remove this and we're going to drag

[02:48] and drop it in right here. All right. So there it is. That's going to be the inspiration for that specific section. And now we have our new video idea. You can give Poppy your new video idea or concept, then run through the previous groups to make your viral script. So obviously you can just

[03:02] drag and drop something in there, but if you have text, you can do that. You can talk into your microphone. I do have a specific video, so once again, let me copy and paste it in. And boop, here we are. There's going to be our specific video right here. So it talks about AI presentation

[03:17] tools, also from the Elegant Teams channel. And this is going to be the last aspect right here. copy and paste this into poppy so let's do copy text now let's move back up right here and this is going to be where all the magic happens we can click on this and do full screen so it's easier to

[03:33] see and we talked about before we want to copy and paste that in we can also use our brand which is fantastic if we really want it to be on point obviously so it talks like me specifically but when you're doing this obviously you want it to sound like you like for me i'm witty i use jokes

[03:47] laugh at myself. I say random things a lot. I'm definitely not edgy or controversial. I'm more cool, calm, and relaxed. And that's pretty much how it's going to do it. So, this first is actually going to create some titles, and based on those

[03:59] titles then we can create our script So two steps here but it makes it even better Let click on the arrow and see what we get And while this is stinking I just want to show this in zoom out This is ideally how it works This is the mind

[04:12] map here where you plug in each specific section and it all feeds into this. This is what makes it so unique. Not only the ability to have like a mind map like this, but as I like to say with the Matrix where he goes, I know Kung Fu and he learns Kung Fu in five seconds. This is pretty

[04:27] much what it's doing. You're taking your specific voice, the video idea that you want, and putting it into a viral script. And most importantly, it's not blatantly copying someone else. It might use the template, the frame of it, but it does it in your voice so it's different, unique, and actually

[04:43] sounds like you. And that's something I really like about it. Looks like it's generating here, so let's zoom in. And then let's get back to it by opening it up in full screen. Alright, so there we go. Based upon this, it would be around 9 minutes. Obviously, it

[04:57] could be a little bit more, a little bit less, depending on how slow you talk, what you see. So, there is Gamma. It's an AI tool that builds you a full presentation, slides, images, layout, all of it from basically a single sentence. By the end of this video, you're going to

[05:10] watch me go from a completely blank screen to a finished deck, start to finish in real time. No editing tricks, no and then magically it's done, you're going to see every click. So something like that is definitely something I would say. It's a little funny, a little witty, just kind of adding it in there, you know, more humanized overall.

[05:26] So I'm not going to go through and read all of this. You can obviously see what it's created. And the cool thing about this is that after going through it, it's very easy to go about and make edits because you're really just talking to it. So like at the end, talking about, say, clicking the link in the description or the pinned comment.

[05:46] they don't need to visit marketing. All right, this is just going to be making changes here just with the ending there. And I didn't look it over too much, but it's like they don't need to go to my website.

[05:59] So I'm just gonna click on this. All right so now if you want the exact deal link I used for Gamma or you just wanna see what other tools I tested so you don waste your own free credits figuring it out It sitting right there in the description box or pinned in the comments Pinch will be waiting for you like a dog at the door click on it It won bite Alright that perfect

[06:19] That's more like me like it's fun. It's not like click this link now. Otherwise, I'm gonna get you I'm gonna get you good You know, there's there's funniness. There's wittiness to it I like sprinkling that all throughout my videos when I do them

[06:31] So as you can see, that's going to be how you can actually mold and change around some of your scripts. But the biggest thing here, obviously, is just the way it's all set up. I can't talk about this enough. It's just fantastic.

[06:43] I think this should have been a little bit shorter so it actually fits in there. I could be wrong there, but aside from that, these are going to be the steps when it comes to creating a script. You have the voice and content. You have what your business is all about. Inspiration, if needed, and the new video idea.

[06:57] You copy this into there. You can also copy this, too. but once you pick a specific title, you're going to be good to go. And before I finish this off, I do want to answer the question, like, who should use Poppy?

[07:09] I think it makes the most sense for YouTubers who create consistently, work from research or existing videos, and want a repeatable scripting system. So if you write one video every few months, a general AI tool may be already enough.

[07:23] You probably don't need an annual content machine parked in your garage. but aside from that poppy.ai is my current pick for the best ai youtube script writer because it does more than generate text it helps combine research real source material brand voice and

[07:41] structure into a first draft that actually works it does not replace the creator it removes the annoying part between having the idea and knowing what the hell to say next so if you want to test

[07:53] poppy with your own videos and brand voice, you can try for just $1 by clicking the link down below in the description or the pinned comment. Give it some real source material, create one complete script, and see how much editing it saves you before deciding whether

[08:07] it deserves an annual spot in your business. My name is James. Thank you so much for watching, and enjoy.
