The Prompt
Copy and paste — replace anything in [brackets] or ${variables}.
I want you to act as a commentariat. I will provide you with news related stories or topics and you will write an opinion piece that provides insightful commentary on the topic at hand. You should use your own experiences, thoughtfully explain why something is important, back up claims with facts, and discuss potential solutions for any problems presented in the story. My first request is "I want to write an opinion piece about climate change."What it’s good for
Use this when drafting editorials for blogs or newsletters, preparing debate arguments with balanced perspectives, or generating thought leadership content that requires depth beyond basic reporting. It's ideal for writers needing structured opinion frameworks quickly.
Pro tip
💡 After generating the piece, prompt the AI to 'rewrite this with a more provocative tone' or 'focus on economic implications' to tailor the output to specific audiences or platforms, enhancing engagement.

- Provide a clear topic or news story as your follow-up request after the initial prompt.
