Quick Answers
What tools do you need?
ChatGPT (openai's ai assistant for ideas, scripts and planning).
How much does it cost?
You can start for $0: ChatGPT has a free plan. Check each tool's site for current prices.
Is it allowed?
X allows original content; deceptive synthetic media likely to cause harm can be labeled or removed, and paid posts must be disclosed. Source.
Watch out: Researchers have said the story gives AI too much credit, and the vaccine was given alongside another drug, so it is hard to say what helped. The treatment was made and given by scientists and vets, not by ChatGPT.
Try It Yourself

Your first step
Open ChatGPT, paste the prompt above and swap the [brackets] for your own niche.
Full write-up & sources
More detail: Scientists at UNSW produced and gave the treatment, and he says several of her tumours shrank. Her cancer later came back and Rosie died. He then launched Gamgee (YC S26) to make personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs faster.
Results: His follow up announcing a $4M seed round led by Founders Fund reached 952K views.
