Deep research briefing
When you want the fullest picture of a topic without reading twelve tabs.
Research this topic in depth: [YOUR TOPIC].
Take the position of a careful analyst writing a briefing I will listen to once, while walking. Cover what is actually known, what changed recently, where the genuine uncertainties are, and what the strongest-informed people disagree about. Prefer specifics over generalities — named studies, real numbers said plainly, concrete events — and tell me when the evidence is thin rather than papering over it. End with the two or three things most worth remembering.
Format the result for listening, not reading. Write flowing prose in complete sentences and paragraphs. No headings, no bullet points, no numbered lists, no tables, and no URLs or bracketed citations — weave any sources into the sentences by name. Write numbers and abbreviations the way you would say them aloud. Do not include anything that sounds like instructions to a computer, and no calls to action like "subscribe" or "follow us". Aim for about ten minutes of listening, which is roughly fifteen hundred words. Give me only the piece itself, ready to be read aloud.
Steelman both sides
When you suspect your own view of a debate is the lazy version.
Take this question and argue it properly from both sides: [YOUR QUESTION].
First, present the strongest honest case one side could make — the version its smartest advocate would give, not the version its critics quote. Then do the same for the other side, with equal effort. Point out where the two actually disagree about facts versus where they disagree about values, because those are different arguments. Close by saying what evidence would genuinely change each side's mind.

Explain it like I am busy
When a topic deserves twenty minutes of your attention but only gets ten.
Explain [YOUR TOPIC] to someone sharp but short on time.
Assume I am smart and distracted: no throat-clearing, no history lesson unless it changes the conclusion, and no defining words I already know. Start with why this matters right now, then how it actually works, then what most people get wrong about it. If there is a number or comparison that makes it click, use it. Treat my attention as expensive.

Interview an expert
When you would rather hear a conversation than a lecture.
Write an interview between a curious host and a world-class expert on [YOUR TOPIC].
The host asks the questions an intelligent outsider would actually ask, including the slightly rude ones. The expert answers like a person, not a press release — concrete stories, honest hedges, the occasional "we simply don't know". Let the conversation build: each question should follow from the last answer. Write it as spoken dialogue with the speakers' names woven into the prose, like "the host asked" and "she replied", so it reads aloud naturally.

Why the formatting instructions?
Every template ends the same way because PodQuik turns text into speech: prose in paragraphs reads beautifully, while headings, bullet lists, and URLs sound like someone reading a webpage. Text that looks like instructions to a computer, or like subscribe-and-follow boilerplate, stops PodQuik's script checks for a review. The templates steer your AI away from all of it, so what you paste needs little or no cleanup before it becomes audio.
