A step-by-step guide to writing better AI training scripts—faster
Want to streamline your workflow and save hours of writing time? Here’s how to use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to quickly generate clear, learner-focused scripts for your training videos.
What’s covered
- Start with a clear prompt
- Add key talking points
- Specify the format
- Review and refine
- Recap
Step 1: Start with a clear prompt
Tell the AI what type of training video you’re creating, who it’s for, and what outcome you want. Include context such as:
- Objective: what should the learner be able to do or understand?
- Learner profile: who are they (new hire, sales rep, team lead) and what is their baseline knowledge?
- Distribution: where will the video live (LMS, Slack, onboarding flow)?
- -Engagement: preferred tone and delivery (conversational, scenario-based, direct instruction)
Sample prompt:
Write a 2-minute training script on how to complete expense reports in Workday. The audience is new hires in finance, with no prior Workday experience. The tone should be clear and supportive. This will be delivered by an avatar inside our LMS.
Step 2: Add key talking points
Help the AI stay accurate and focused by including a short list of what the video should cover
Example:
- Task or tool being explained
- Key steps or policies
- Common mistakes to avoid
- Any compliance or process notes
- Desired outcome
Sample prompt:
Cover: where to find the expense tool in Workday, how to upload a receipt, how to submit for approval. Note: emphasize the submission policy’s timeline.
Step 3: Ask for the right format
Let the AI know how the content will be delivered. This affects tone, pacing, and word choice.
Example:
- A spoken script read by an avatar
- Designed for voiceover with on-screen visuals
- Modular, to fit into a microlearning sequence
Sample prompt:
Write this as a script for a talking head avatar, with short, clear sentences and pause points for visual callouts.
Step 4: Review and tweak
Paste your script into HeyGen and use the preview tool to watch it come to life. Then refine as needed. Use follow-up prompts like:
“Make this more concise for a 60-second version.”
“Add a question to prompt reflection.”
“Use less formal language and make it more conversational.”
“Include an example of a common error and how to fix it.”
Recap
By combining AI scriptwriting with HeyGen’s avatars, you can move from draft to production-ready video in a matter of minutes. It’s a fast, repeatable workflow that helps teams keep up with training needs without sacrificing clarity or quality.
This guide covered:
- Start with a clear prompt
