X (Twitter) AI Prompt: How to Maximize Reach and Brand Awareness
How Can I Create Engaging X (Twitter) Posts Using AI That Actually Generate Engagement?
You can maximize your X (Twitter) engagement by using AI to transform your video transcripts into authentic, non-robotic social posts. Brad Smith's method involves copying YouTube video transcriptions into a customized AI prompt, which structures your content with a hook, story, educational content, and clear call-to-action. This approach preserves your authentic voice while saving time and generating better engagement than generic AI-produced content.
Questions People Ask
What's the biggest mistake people make when using AI for social media posts?
The biggest mistake is creating content that sounds robotic. As Brad explains, using generic AI prompts often produces posts with excessive emojis that blend in with everyone else's content, making it harder to stand out and get engagement.
How do I get started if I don't like making videos?
You can start by recording just audio on your phone and uploading it to get a transcription. Brad recommends using free software like CapCut on your computer to transcribe your spoken words, then using those transcriptions with his AI prompt system.
Why is using my own words better than letting AI generate content from scratch?
Using your own words preserves your authentic voice and expertise, making your posts sound genuinely human rather than AI-generated. This authenticity helps you stand out from the flood of generic AI content on the platform and builds stronger connections with your audience.

What elements should every effective X post include?
Every effective X post should include a strong hook to capture attention, a brief story element, educational content that provides value, and a clear call-to-action. Including relevant images or videos that relate to your content is also crucial for increasing engagement.
Why This Strategy Works for Any Business
- Maintains authenticity while leveraging AI, preserving your unique voice and building genuine connections with your audience
- Dramatically reduces content creation time by transforming existing content (videos or audio) into engaging social posts in minutes
- Increases engagement rates by standing out from the generic AI-generated content that floods social platforms
- Creates a consistent posting strategy that can be easily maintained even with limited time and resources
Transforming Video Content into Engaging X (Twitter) Posts
Introduction to the Engagement Problem
If you're posting on X (Twitter) and barely getting likes, comments, or engagement, you're not alone. This is a common struggle for business owners first starting out on the platform. I am Brad Smith, owner of Automation Links, experienced the same challenges when I began My X journey.
"You're posting on X Twitter and you're just not getting the likes, the comments, or really hardly any engagement," I always acknowledge, identifying a pain point many businesses face when trying to build their presence on the platform.
The good news is there's a solution that combines AI efficiency with human authenticity.
Why Most AI-Generated Social Posts Fail
When using artificial intelligence for social media content, many businesses make a critical mistake: their content ends up sounding robotic. "You don't want to sound like a robot or else you're going to blend in and sound like everyone else."
If you've tried using AI for your business on social media, you've likely seen posts with excessive emojis that blend in with the crowd rather than standing out. The key problem is that generic AI prompts create generic content that fails to capture your authentic voice.

AI Prompt Solution for Social Media
My approach is different. Instead of letting AI generate content from scratch, I use a specialized prompt that transforms his own spoken words from video transcripts into engaging social posts.
This method preserves your authentic voice while saving tremendous time in your content creation process.
Step-by-Step Process to Create Authentic Social Posts with AI
Here's how My process works:
- Create a video or audio recording with your content (I use YouTube videos, but you can use any audio recording)
- Get a transcript of your spoken content (YouTube provides this automatically for uploaded videos, or use CapCut for audio files)
- Copy the transcript text
- Paste it into My custom GPT with My specialized prompt
- Review and post the AI-structured content to X (Twitter)
The result is a well-structured post that uses your exact words but organized strategically for maximum engagement.
For those who aren't comfortable making videos yet, there is a simple workaround: "You can always just record your audio on your phone and upload download that transcription. I recommend using a free software like CapCut you can just use right on your computer."
The Perfect Social Post Structure
These AI prompt creates posts with a specific structure proven to drive engagement:
- Hook: A compelling opening line that grabs attention
- Story: A brief narrative element that creates connection
- Education: Value-adding information or tips
- Call to Action: Clear guidance on what to do next
"If you scroll down you're going to see that it lays it out for me. First it shows the hook, then it gives the story, and then it does context, and then it talks about why the educational piece, and then it has a call to action".
This structure takes your authentic words and organizes them in a way that maximizes engagement potential without losing your voice.

Adding Visual Elements to Boost Engagement
Beyond just text, the importance of including relevant visuals: "I just head over to Canva create this image real quick. I like to include images or videos with my tweets that are relatable to what I'm teaching in my post."
I am against text-only tweets: "If you're just going to do a text tweet that you're just going to blend in like everyone else. What you want to do is be the expert, you want to share your expertise, a tip, education and provide helpful content with a great image or video that is relatable."
This combination of structured text and relevant visuals creates posts that stand out in crowded feeds.
Why This Approach Builds Long-Term Engagement
The strategy outlines more than just generate likes and comments. By using your authentic voice and providing real value, you position yourself as an expert in your field. This approach builds trust with your audience over time, leading to stronger relationships and better business outcomes.
For businesses looking to automate their X (Twitter) marketing strategy, this method provides a way to maintain authenticity while saving significant time in the content creation process.
By focusing on providing value and education rather than just promotion, you'll naturally attract followers who are genuinely interested in your expertise and offerings.

How long does it take to create a post using AI prompt method?
It typically takes just 5–10 minutes from start to finish. Once you have your video or audio transcription, you simply paste it into the prompt, review the output, and you're ready to post. This method dramatically cuts down content creation time.
Can I use this same approach for other social platforms besides X (Twitter)?
Yes! While it’s optimized for X (Twitter), the structure (hook, story, education, call-to-action) works great for LinkedIn, Instagram captions, Facebook, and even YouTube descriptions. You may need to tweak the format slightly for longer or more visual platforms, but the core content still performs well.
Do I need to subscribe to a paid AI tool to use this method effectively?
Not necessarily. You can use free versions of tools like ChatGPT and CapCut to get started. However, a paid AI tool may offer better output quality and more customization, especially if you're creating content regularly or at scale.
How often should I post on X (Twitter) using this strategy?
Brad recommends posting consistently—at least once a day if possible. The more often you post valuable, authentic content, the more opportunities you have to build engagement and grow your audience. Consistency builds trust and visibility.
Will this approach work for my specific industry or niche?
Yes. This method works across all industries, from coaching to real estate to SaaS to personal branding. The key is using your own authentic voice to share value, insight, and tips tailored to your specific audience. That’s what drives engagement no matter your niche.
