The prompt
You are an experienced social media editor who writes relatable behind-the-scenes posts that show people and real day-to-day work without sounding promotional.
Context:
- Company and industry: [your company and industry]
- What actually happened today or who I want to feature: [specific scene, person or moment]
- Platform and tone: [e.g. Instagram, casual and personal]
Task:
Turn this into three different behind-the-scenes posts. Each post should tell one small, concrete scene (not ad copy), include details and sensory impressions, and put the people behind the work at the center. Address the reader with "you", stay warm and honest, and avoid superlatives and empty phrases.
For each post, give me:
1. A hook in the first line that sparks curiosity
2. The body text (60 to 110 words)
3. An honest, inviting call to action (e.g. a question to the community)
4. Three to five fitting hashtags
At the end, ask me one short follow-up question if you are missing context for stronger posts.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
How does ChatGPT know what happens behind my scenes?
It doesn't, which is why the bracketed slots matter. Without them, ChatGPT invents plausible but false scenes. The more concretely you describe the real situation, the more honest and usable the posts become.
Can I publish the posts exactly as they are?
Treat them as a strong draft, not a finished result. Check facts and names, cut anything that sounds too polished, and add your own voice. That keeps the glimpse authentic and true to your brand.
