Prompt

GLOBAL LOCK:
The subject is a young woman with long, wavy brown hair, fair skin with warm undertones. She is wearing a high-neck white ribbed turtleneck sweater. The environment is a professional studio with a soft, out-of-focus purple and pink gradient background. Lighting is soft three-point lighting with a clear key light on the subject's face. The camera is a high-quality digital sensor with a 35mm or 50mm lens feel, creating a shallow depth of field. The color grade is clean, vibrant, and slightly warm. Speech is direct-to-camera, energetic, and clear, with a professional yet friendly tone.

[00:00–00:02]
Visual: A screen recording of the ChatGPT pricing page (Go vs Business plans). A large, bold yellow text overlay says "Stop" in the center.
Subject: Off-camera.
Action: The screen scrolls slightly.
Audio: "Stop paying for premium AI tools." (High energy, authoritative).

[00:02–00:05]
Visual: Medium shot of the woman sitting at a desk with a laptop. She gestures with her hands. Six app icons (Recraft, Pinokio, etc.) fly into the frame around her. Text overlay: "These 20 free tools".
Subject: Smiling, looking directly at the camera.
Action: Hand gestures emphasizing the icons.
Audio: "These 20 free tools can replace some of the most expensive ones."

[00:05–00:11]
Visual: Screen recording of the DeepSite website. A prompt is pasted into a search bar. The screen transitions to show a high-end "Tesla Cybertruck" website design. Text overlay: "DeepSite.", "Just paste", "and it can", "the entire", "structure", "in seconds."
Audio: "First is DeepSite. Just paste a website link and it can recreate the entire site structure for you in seconds."

[00:11–00:18]
Visual: Screen recording of the Feedough website. A messy prompt is entered, and a button is clicked to generate a highly detailed, expert-level prompt. Text overlay: "Next is", "If your", "or unclear,", "this tool", "detailed,", "expert-level", "one click."
Audio: "Next is Feedough. If your prompt is messy or unclear, this tool turns it into a detailed, expert-level prompt with one click."

[00:18–00:25]
Visual: Screen recording of Google Opal. A node-based automation workflow is shown, connecting "User input" to "Generate image filter". Text overlay: "Google Opal.", "using just your words.", "It helps", "automations", "to tools", "like n8n,", "but powered", "AI models."
Audio: "Third is Google Opal. It helps you build AI automations similar to tools like n8n, but powered by Google's AI models."

[00:25–00:32]
Visual: Screen recording of the Pinokio website and app. A list of local AI models (flux-webui, Wan2GP) is shown. A transition shows a dark, cinematic scene with a TV in a cave. Text overlay: "Pinokio.", "It lets", "and run", "open-source", "AI models", "or Wan", "Directly on your Computer".
Audio: "Then there's Pinokio. It lets you download and run powerful open-source AI models like Flux or Wan directly on your computer."

[00:32–00:38]

Audio: "And finally, Recraft AI. It can generate brand-consistent logos, icons, and illustrations in seconds."

[00:38–00:46]
Visual: Back to the medium shot of the woman. She is sitting at her desk, hands folded. A document titled "20 Game-Changing Tools" appears as an overlay. Text overlay: "just five", "tools.", "20-tools", "Comment", "send you", "list with", "AI".
Subject: Direct eye contact, persuasive expression.
Audio: "These are just five out of 20 tools. I've created a full document with all 20 tools. Comment AI and I'll send you the full list with all the links."

NEGATIVE PROMPT:
Visual: Motion blur, distorted faces, inconsistent hair length, flickering background, low-resolution screen recordings, messy desk, harsh shadows, unnatural hand movements.

How yleintech Made This Free AI Tools Listicle Growth Case — and How to Recreate It

This high-performing reel by @yleintech is a masterclass in "Utility-Based Listicle" content. It features a cinematic editorial aesthetic, blending a professional studio setup with high-energy screen recordings. The core value proposition—replacing expensive AI subscriptions like ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo) and Midjourney with free alternatives—targets a massive pain point for creators and small business owners. The visual style is defined by a soft purple/pink gradient studio background, a subject in a clean white turtleneck, and bold, high-contrast text overlays that guide the viewer through a rapid-fire sequence of five distinct AI tools.

What You’re Seeing: A Visual Breakdown

The video alternates between "A-Roll" (the creator speaking directly to the camera) and "B-Roll" (dynamic screen recordings of the software in action). The lighting is soft and directional, creating a flattering "beauty" look while maintaining a professional tech-vlogger persona. The editing rhythm is fast, with transitions occurring every 2-3 seconds to maintain high retention.

00:25–00:32	Pinokio browser and local AI models.	Screen Recording	Technical, "insider" feel.	Appeal to the "power user" segment.
00:32–00:38	Recraft AI generating 3D logos.	Screen Recording	Visual, artistic, high-res.	Aesthetic payoff (High visual appeal).
00:38–00:46	Creator holding a phone/laptop, list preview.	Medium Shot + Overlay	Consistent studio lighting.	CTA: Convert engagement into a lead.

Why It Went Viral: The Mechanics of Utility

The Power of "Free" and "Loss Aversion"

The hook doesn't just offer something new; it tells you to stop losing money. Psychologically, humans are more motivated to avoid a loss than to achieve a gain. By showing the ChatGPT $30/month "Business" plan and shouting "Stop," the creator triggers an immediate emotional response in anyone currently paying for these tools.

Platform Signal: The "Save" and "Comment" Loop

From a platform perspective, this video is designed to maximize Saves and Comments. 1. Saves: The list is too fast to memorize. Users save the video to refer back to the tool names later. 2. Comments: The "Comment AI" call-to-action is a classic growth hack. It uses automation (like ManyChat) to send the full list to the user's DMs. This creates a massive spike in comment volume, signaling to the Instagram algorithm that the content is highly engaging, which pushes it to the Explore page.

5 Testable Viral Hypotheses

The Financial Pain Point: If you start with a specific dollar amount people are currently spending, you will achieve 20% higher retention in the first 3 seconds.
The "Magic Moment" Demo: Showing a website being recreated in seconds (DeepSite) within the first 10 seconds of the video validates the creator's claims and prevents drop-off.
Visual Consistency: Using a specific color palette (Purple/Pink) across all tech videos builds "brand recall," making users more likely to follow when they see a similar thumbnail.
The Lead Magnet CTA: Offering a "Full Document" instead of just the video content increases the comment-to-view ratio by 3x.
Pattern Interrupt Overlays: Using large, yellow, tilted text (e.g., "Stop," "Free Tools") breaks the visual monotony of the screen recordings.

How to Recreate: From 0 to 1

Step 1: Topic Selection & Curation

Find a "Gold Standard" paid tool (e.g., Adobe Premiere, Canva Pro, ChatGPT) and research 5-10 free or open-source alternatives that actually work. Quality is key; if the tools are bad, your comments will turn negative.

Step 2: Scripting the Hook

Your first sentence must be: "Stop paying for [Expensive Tool]." Visual: A screenshot of that tool's pricing page with a red "X" or "Stop" sign.

Step 3: Studio Setup

Use a softbox at a 45-degree angle. Use a secondary RGB light (set to purple or blue) to wash the back wall. Wear a solid, neutral color (like the white turtleneck) to stand out from the background.

Step 4: Recording B-Roll

Use a high-quality screen recorder (like Loom or Screenflow). Perform one specific, impressive action in each tool (e.g., generating a logo, writing code). Keep each clip under 5 seconds.

Step 5: Editing for Retention

In CapCut or Premiere, cut every time you finish a sentence. Add "Pop" sound effects when icons appear. Use "Auto-Captions" but manually highlight key words in yellow or green.

Step 6: Setting up Automation

Use ManyChat. Set a trigger: "When someone comments 'AI', send a message with the link to my Google Doc/Notion page."

Step 7: The "Save-Worthy" Overlay

At the end, show a quick flash of a document with 20+ tools. This visually proves you have more value to give than what was in the 45-second clip.

Step 8: Publishing Strategy

Post as a Reel. Use a cover image that shows the creator's face and a bold title like "20 FREE AI TOOLS."

Growth Playbook: Distribution & Scaling

Opening Hook Lines

"You are being overcharged for your AI subscription."
"I found the secret list of free AI tools tech companies don't want you to see."
"Stop! Don't click 'subscribe' on ChatGPT until you watch this."

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools make it look the most similar?

Use CapCut for the tilted text overlays and ManyChat for the automated DM responses.

How do I get that purple background?

It's a combination of a physical RGB light bar hitting a neutral wall and a slight color grade in post-production.

Why does she ask people to comment "AI"?

It triggers the Instagram algorithm's engagement metric and allows for automated lead generation via DMs.

Is it better to show my face or just the screen?

Showing your face builds trust and authority, which leads to higher follow rates compared to faceless accounts.

How do I record the screen without lag?

Use a tool like CleanShot X or OBS with a high bitrate setting to ensure the UI looks crisp.
