After one AI class, they built a script that turns prompts into social reels
A script built in Cursor that writes a reel, pulls stock video and adds a voice over and text overlays, all in minutes.
This student left Iman's session on AI for Content Creation with an urge to share it. First they brought the ideas to their company's Marketing department, then they sat down with Cursor and built a working tool that assembles short social media reels on its own. It is a lovely example of learning something on Monday and putting it to work for real people soon after.
AI social media reel generator
Before
Before the program, AI for content was something to learn about, not something they used day to day. Their company's Marketing department had its own ways of working, and the two sides had not yet compared notes. Making a social reel meant the usual steps: writing, finding footage, recording and editing.
“After Iman’s session on AI for Content Creation, I knew I had to share what I had learned with our Marketing department.”
In their own words
The turning point
Iman's session on AI for Content Creation changed that. They knew right away they had to share it, so they reached out to Marketing, scheduled meetings and showed how they had applied Iman's teachings to the company's needs. Those talks became a two-way exchange about what each side had already learned and tried.
“I haven’t set up editing or custom voices yet, but seeing this generated so quickly is exciting!”
In their own words
After
More recently they started playing with Cursor and wrote a script that creates a short reel for social media. It calls Perplexity, OpenAI and Pexels to write a script, download stock videos and bring the clips together with a scripted voice over and text overlays. Editing and custom voices are next on their list, but the core already works.
What it lets people do
The script lets a team go from an idea to a finished short reel in minutes, without hunting for footage or recording a voice over by hand. It frees people to spend their time on the message rather than the assembly.
What they learned
They found that a few well-written prompts can open up far more than they expected. Sharing what they learned, rather than keeping it to themselves, also turned a class into a conversation across their company.
“It’s amazing being able to unlock so much with some prompting!”
In their own words
AI social media reel generator was built during AI Mastery.
