Using AI to automate your workfrom @rpn

[01]

Overview

The creator portrays a day where he is running late and must leave for training. He delegates a series of complex work tasks—including building a website from a mockup, analyzing 30 days of Instagram data, creating a strategy report, and organizing his desktop—to an AI assistant named Claude. While the AI works, he goes to a boxing gym, gets knocked out, and returns home bruised, only to find that the AI has perfectly completed and organized all the requested work on his computer.

Hook template

Steal this for your own video

Open on [aspirational or visually striking location] — then cut to [relatable high-pressure scenario] unfolding inside it.

  • — Open on a sweeping drone shot of a cliffside villa — then cut to someone frantically packing a bag and sprinting out the door.
  • — Open on an aerial reveal of a sleek downtown penthouse — then cut to a trader staring at crashing red charts at 6am.
  • — Open on a slow cinematic push toward a gorgeous cabin in the woods — then cut to a freelancer buried under sticky notes and missed deadlines.

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

Establish a high-stakes, relatable conflict where a character is torn between professional obligations and personal commitments, creating immediate time-based tension.

Payoff

The character is shown relaxing or appreciating the completed work, demonstrating the ultimate benefit: peace of mind and professional success, even when personal life presents challenges. The initial conflict is resolved effortlessly.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Parallel Life Payoff

Demonstrating a product's value by showing it completing complex tasks in the background while the user engages in a completely separate, and often challenging, real-life activity. The narrative is resolved when the user returns to find the task perfectly completed, solving their initial problem.

  1. 1

    The Impossible Delegation

    The character offloads a seemingly overwhelming and multi-faceted list of tasks to the product/service using a single, simple interface. This showcases the product's power and ease of use.

  2. 2

    The Disconnected Pursuit

    The narrative cuts away from the work being done to show the character fully immersed in a separate, non-work-related activity, visually reinforcing the concept of automation and freedom.

  3. 3

    The Subversive Twist

    The character experiences a failure or setback in their personal activity. This humanizes the protagonist, subverts the 'perfect life' trope, and makes the story more memorable.

  4. 4

    The Quiet Victory

    The character returns from their personal activity, often showing the results of their setback, only to find that the delegated professional task has been completed flawlessly.

Damn it. I'm late. Hey. Hey. Sorry, babe. I gotta go. I'm late for training. Okay. Hey. I thought you had a lot of work today. Oh, I do. I called. On my desktop, there's a file called design mock up. I need you to open it, build me a complete pixel perfect website from it. Use React, Tailwind CSS worst styling and add subtle, tasteful animations throughout and make sure it's fully responsive. When you're done, save the project to my desktop, then open Instagram in my browser. Go to my professional dashboard. It'll all analytics from the last thirty days and go through my last 20 posts. I need you to read the comments. I wanna know what questions keep coming up and what people keep asking for. Then combine all of that to a strategy report. What's worse, what isn't, and and what my audience wants more of and save it to my desktop. And if you can organize my desktop while you're at it, that'd be great because it's a mess. I didn't see any other guy,
