One newsletter becomes a week of social posts in 15 minutes

In plain words

A set of 12 prompts pulls hooks, threads and daily posts out of each newsletter issue.

What happened: 15 minutes instead of 5–10 hours, and 21–28 posts a week instead of 2–3 (their own figures).

These numbers come from the builder and haven't been checked independently.

The instructions to give the AI

Paste this into ChatGPT (the free plan is fine), swap the [brackets] for your details, and test it on a few real examples.

Agent instructions (prompt)

From this newsletter: [paste], write 7 social posts (one per day), each under 280 characters and using a different idea from the issue. Then write one 7-post thread. Use only what's in the newsletter.

[Highlighted] = replace with your own details before you run it.

What you should get back: Seven ready-to-schedule posts and a 7-part thread, all pulled from your own issue.
