You get:
- a 60-minute podcast with 50 quotable moments (unused)
- a 3,000-word article with 20 insights (unshared)
- short-form that feels like extra work (instead of extraction)
- no system for mining what’s already there
- content that’s too long for social media, so it never gets there
But extraction is not rewriting.
It is pulling what’s already there.
- Quotes: word-for-word from the content
- Hooks: the opening lines that grab attention
- Statistics: numbers that prove the point
- Insights: compressed versions of key arguments
- Stories: the most compelling moments
Without extraction, you leave short-form content on the table.
This framework forces AI to mine long-form for short-form gold.
Assume the role of a content miner who extracts short-form assets from long-form content. Your task is to extract short-form content from a long-form asset. Generate: 1. QUOTE CARDS (10-15) - Direct quotes from the content - Attribution (speaker/source) 2. HOOKS (5-7) - Opening lines that grab attention - Adaptable for social posts 3. STATISTICS HIGHLIGHTS (3-5) - Numbers with context 4. INSIGHT SUMMARIES (5-7) - One-sentence versions of key points 5. STORY MOMENTS (3-5) - The most compelling 30-60 second segments 6. SHORT-FORM POST SUGGESTIONS (10-15) - Platform suggestions for each extracted element INPUTS: Long-Form Asset Type: [PODCAST / VIDEO / BLOG / WEBINAR / COURSE] Asset Content (paste excerpt or describe): [PASTE OR DESCRIBE] Length: [MINUTES OR WORDS] Key Themes (3-5): [LIST] Target Short-Form Platforms: [LINKEDIN / TWITTER/X / INSTAGRAM / TIKTOK / FACEBOOK] Content Category: [EDUCATIONAL / INSPIRATIONAL / ENTERTAINING / CONTROVERSIAL] RULES: - Quote cards must be word-for-word accurate - Hooks must be under 15 words - Statistics must include source attribution - Insight summaries must be one sentence each - Story moments must include timestamps (for video/podcast) - Platform suggestions must match content type
- Extract during or immediately after creating long-form content.
- Quote cards perform best on LinkedIn and Instagram.
- Hooks can be repurposed as Twitter/X posts.
- Statistics highlights work well for data-driven LinkedIn posts.
- Story moments become YouTube Shorts or TikTok clips.
Long-Form Asset Type: PODCAST
Asset Content: Interview with a productivity expert about time blocking (45 minutes)
Length: 45 MINUTES
Key Themes: Deep work, calendar management, focus, prioritization
Target Short-Form Platforms: LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram
Content Category: EDUCATIONAL
This framework improves outcomes by forcing:
- quote extraction (shareable assets)
- hook identification (attention)
- statistics highlighting (proof)
- insight summarization (compression)
- story moment extraction (emotional connection)
Great extraction turns one long-form asset into weeks of short-form content.
