5 Tips for Writing Better Scripts with AI

The Art of AI-Assisted Writing

AI tools are powerful, but they work best when you know how to guide them. Here are five tips to get better results from ZenNow's AI features.

Tip 1: Be Specific in Your Prompts

Instead of vague requests, give the AI clear direction:

Less effective: "Write about cooking"

More effective: "Write a 2-minute script explaining how to make the perfect scrambled eggs, targeting beginners, in a friendly and encouraging tone"

The more context you provide -- topic, audience, length, tone -- the better the output.

Tip 2: Use AI Refinement Strategically

ZenNow offers three AI refinement tools via slash commands:

• AI Expand -- use when your section feels thin and needs more substance
• AI Shorten -- use when you've written too much and need to trim
• AI Rewrite -- use when the content is right but the phrasing feels off

Pro tip: Write your first draft manually, then use refinement on specific sections. This gives you the best balance of authenticity and polish.

Tip 3: Iterate in Conversation

Don't expect perfection on the first try. Use the AI Chat for multi-turn conversations:

1. Ask for an initial script
2. Review and identify what to change
3. Ask for specific revisions: "Make the introduction more energetic" or "Add a real-world example in section 2"

Each refinement costs just 1 credit per chat message.

Tip 4: Match Language to Platform

Different platforms have different expectations:

• YouTube/Bilibili -- can be longer and more detailed
• TikTok/Reels -- needs to be punchy and fast-paced
• Xiaohongshu -- works well with list-style tips and personal stories

Tell the AI which platform you're targeting and it will adjust the style accordingly.

Tip 5: Always Add Your Personal Touch

AI-generated scripts are a starting point, not the final product. The best content comes from combining AI efficiency with your unique perspective:

• Add personal anecdotes and experiences
• Include your own opinions and insights
• Adjust the vocabulary to match how you naturally speak
• Remove anything that doesn't sound like you

Conclusion

AI is your creative assistant, not your replacement. Use it to overcome writer's block, structure your ideas, and polish your prose -- but make sure your voice shines through.
