Summarization Prompt
Hi all I wrote this for Summarizing Youtube Videos but you can use it for whatever you like. You can use the first prompt to start loading in a document that is more than 3,000 words and then use the second to finish and get your summary. I wrote an article with all the details.
https://youtubetranscript.com/ (to get a transcript for a youtube video)
Prompt 1
Please remember this data for later. Only respond, “OK”
(Paste in the partial Transcript you only need this if your transcript is to long >3000 words or so)
Prompt 2
Acting as an expert at creating concise but detailed summaries please use the content below and the content I asked you to you store in memory.
I would like you to follow these steps.
1) Create a list of the most important topics found in the content. Send this to me as a response.
2) Using your generated topic list, focus on each topic and summarize all the data in the content about each of those topics separately. State each topic and create a bulleted list. Send me this list as a response.
3) Create a 2 column table with the left column marked as “Questions” and the right column marked as “Answers” use the topic list to and your summary to analyze the content for all relevant questions that are answered about the topics. Send me this spreadsheet as a response.
(Paste in the Rest of The Transcript)
Have fun! Testing this and getting it to work was a pain. It runs up against the 550 word limit for ChatGPT output a lot so you may run into that problem. If so take a smaller portion of your transcript or other content analyze it then do it for the next part.

PS. There are a couple of modifications that you can use. If you don't want the spreadsheet or if you are up against the 550 word response limit. You can also use this modification to get the prompt to cover more topics. (Not just "important" ones)
Prompt 2 (removes the table from being produced at the same time has it collect all topics not just important ones)
Acting as an expert at creating concise but detailed summaries please use the content below and the content I asked you to you store in memory.
I would like you to follow these steps.
1) Create a list of the general topics found in the content. Send this to me as a response.
2) Using your generated topic list, focus on each topic and summarize all the data in the content about each of those topics separately. State each topic and create a bulleted list. Send me this list as a response.
Prompt 3
Please create 15 questions and answers to the most important material from the summary you just made.
Prompt 4
Please place this data into a table
(PASTE THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM THE LAST PROMPT)
For whatever reason GPT3.5 can't create the questions from the last chat information and send a table in the same prompt. GPT4 can do that fine and dandy,.... And this is why testing prompts is a pain. Breaking it into 2 prompts gets around the issue.

PS. This prompt uses what I have been calling reflection. It first generates the topic list, then "reflects" on the information to create the summary. If you go straight to the summary it just doesn't work as well. This principal of building up structured information in ChatGPT's memory is very helpful to get better results.

Sample Summarization
Important topics in the content:
The importance of a pre-publishing checklist for articles
Three things to do while going through the content: fact-checking, review of answer targets, and spelling and grammar check
The value of images in blog posts
Ensuring subheadings are formatted and written correctly
Maximizing monetization through relevant affiliate links, display ads, and interlinking
Summary of each topic:
Pre-publishing checklist:
The checklist can significantly improve an article's traffic.
The checklist can be incorporated into the writing process.
The Project 24 program has a lesson dedicated to the checklist.
Fact-checking, answer targets, and spelling and grammar check:
Fact-check any claims made in the article.
Review and revise the answer target.
Do a quick check for spelling and grammar errors.
Images:
Images are valuable in blog posts and can improve an article's ranking.
Use original images if possible, but if not, use relevant stock images.
Ensure images match the context of the article.
Subheadings:
Format subheadings as headlines for Google snippets.
Ensure subheadings stand alone and make sense on their own.
Monetization:
Use relevant affiliate links in the article.
Format the article for display ads.
Interlink related articles for better topical authority and traffic.

@Chris Chenault, thanks for sharing this innovative approach! The step-by-step prompt strategy for summarizing extensive content using ChatGPT is a game-changer. I'm particularly intrigued by the "reflection" technique, which cleverly navigates ChatGPT's limitations to produce detailed summaries. This method not only streamlines the summarization process but also ensures that the essence of the content is captured accurately. It's a fantastic tool for anyone needing to condense large volumes of information efficiently. I'm excited to apply this to my own projects and see how it transforms the way I work with long-form content. Great job on refining this process and sharing it with the community!
