Vamos isn't just another AI chat tool, it's a creative content assistant with unique research and analysis capabilities. The better your prompts, the better your results. Here's how to get the most out of it.
Understand What Makes Vamos Different
Before writing prompts, know what Vamos can do that ChatGPT or Claude can't:
Real-time social media research - Search viral videos on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
Deep content analysis - Transcribe, watch, and analyze any social media post or profile
Link processing - Extract content from YouTube channels, Instagram profiles, articles, and more
Brand personalization - Use your brand profile to create content in your authentic voice
Multi-file support - Upload videos, PDFs, images, spreadsheets simultaneously
The 4 Pillars of Effective Prompts
1. Be Specific About Your Goal
Bad prompt: "Help me with content"
Good prompt: "Write a 45-second TikTok script about productivity hacks for entrepreneurs"
Why it works: Specifies format (TikTok script), length (45 seconds), topic (productivity hacks), and audience (entrepreneurs).
2. Leverage Vamos' Research Tools
Don't just ask for content—ask Vamos to research first, then create.
Example 1: Research-backed script
Search for top-performing morning routine videos on Instagram and YouTube. Then write me a 60-second script based on the patterns you find.
Example 2: Competitor analysis
Analyze @garyvee's last 20 Instagram posts. What hook frameworks does he use most? Then write me 3 hooks in a similar style for my business coaching content.
Example 3: Trend research
What's trending in AI content right now on TikTok? Find me 5 viral videos, extract their transcripts, and create a script combining the best elements.
3. Use Your Brand Profile Strategically
Turn on your brand profile (the icon in chat input) when you want personalized content. Turn it off for general research or brainstorming.
With brand profile ON:
Write an email sequence for my new course launch
→ Gets personalized to your voice, audience, and content pillars
With brand profile OFF:
Show me 10 different email frameworks used by successful course creators
→ Gets objective research without your brand influence
4. Provide Context Through Links and Files
Vamos automatically processes links and files—use this to your advantage.
Example with links:
[Paste Instagram profile URL] Analyze this competitor's top 10 posts. What makes them perform well? Create 3 similar post ideas for my brand.
Example with files:
[Upload your existing script PDF] Rewrite this script in a more casual, conversational tone for TikTok
Prompting Patterns That Work
Pattern 1: Research → Analyze → Create
Step 1: Find the top 5 productivity videos on YouTube Shorts Step 2: What hook patterns do they use? Step 3: Write me a script using the most effective pattern
Pattern 2: Compare → Extract → Apply
Compare these two Instagram profiles: [URL1] and [URL2] What content strategies does each use? Which approach would work better for my audience? Then create a content plan.
Pattern 3: Batch Creation with Research
Search for viral finance content on TikTok. Based on what's working, create 10 script ideas for my audience. Then write full scripts for the top 3 ideas.
Pattern 4: Iterative Refinement
First prompt: "Write a LinkedIn post about overcoming creative burnout" Follow-up: "Make it shorter and add a personal story angle" Follow-up: "Rewrite the hook to be more attention-grabbing"
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Being Too Vague
"Write me something viral" → No context on format, platform, or topic
❌ Not Using Research Tools
"Write a TikTok script about AI" → Misses the opportunity to research what's actually working
❌ Forgetting to Specify Format
"Create content about fitness" → Unclear if you want a script, post, email, or article
❌ Not Leveraging Links
Describing a video instead of just pasting the URL → Wastes time and reduces accuracy
Advanced Prompting Techniques
Multi-Platform Research

Visual Analysis
[Add video link under 2 minutes] Watch this video and analyze: - Hook structure and timing - On-screen text placement - Visual transitions - B-roll usage Then create a similar structure for my topic: [your topic]

Quick Tips
Start broad, then narrow - Research first with general queries, then get specific
One clear goal per prompt - Multiple objectives can confuse the output
Use natural language - Write like you're talking to a creative partner
Iterate freely - Refine outputs through conversation, don't try to get it perfect in one shot
Combine tools - "Search TikTok + analyze this Instagram profile + write using my brand voice"
