Every great video starts with one thing, a strong idea. But generating fresh, strategic ideas on demand isn’t always easy. That’s where AI gives creative teams a boost.

At Viral Ideas, we use AI tools as part of our brainstorming process to uncover new angles, spot patterns, and find unique storytelling hooks that resonate.

Turning Prompts Into Possibilities

‍

AI doesn’t just spit out random ideas, when used well, it thinks with you. For example, when we’re developing a campaign for a law firm or podcast brand, we’ll prompt AI with questions like:

“Give me five video ideas that connect emotionally with potential clients.”

AI then produces multiple angles, maybe a storytelling series, a behind-the-scenes mini doc, or a trust-building testimonial idea. From there, our team evaluates what feels most authentic.

If you’ve read How We Use AI to Speed Up Video Production Without Losing the Human Touch, you’ll recognize this step as where AI sparks creativity and humans shape it.

The Human Filter

‍

Even with the best AI tools, not every idea fits the brand. That’s where our creative directors step in, analyzing tone, emotion, and audience psychology to pick what works. AI gives us options. We provide the filter.

Faster Brainstorming, Smarter Outcomes

‍

Before AI, brainstorming took days. Now, we can explore more creative angles in hours. This doesn’t mean the human role shrinks, it expands. With the groundwork handled, our team can focus on refining and emotional depth, rather than just starting from zero.

As we talk about in Why Emotional Storytelling Still Needs a Human Touch, the soul of an idea still comes from people. AI just helps get there faster.

‍

The Bottom Line

‍

AI makes idea generation faster, but it’s human creativity that gives those ideas meaning. When you combine the two, you get content that’s smart, emotional, and efficient.

If you want to see how AI can help you go from prompt to production in record time, without losing what makes your story feel real, schedule a call. We’ll show you how Viral Ideas does it every day.
