How to Use Claude (or Any AI) to Build Your UGC Portfolio: 6 Prompts
Quick answerUse an AI assistant like Claude for the writing around your videos: your one-line bio, video labels, package descriptions, hook ideas and pitch emails. Keep the videos, results and claims real; AI should speed up the words, not invent your experience.
What AI is good at for UGC creators
| Task | Good for AI? |
|---|---|
| Bio, labels, package copy | Yes — fast first drafts |
| Hook and script ideas | Yes — many options to test |
| Pitch emails and follow-ups | Yes — with your specific details |
| Results, reviews, brand names | No — these must be real |
| Fake "customer" videos | No — misleading without disclosure |
6 prompts you can copy
1. Bio: "I'm a UGC creator in [niche]. I make [formats]. Write 5 one-sentence bios in first person that say what I make, for which brands and the result they want. Plain words, no buzzwords."
2. Video labels: "Here are my sample videos: [list]. For each, write a label in this format: niche · format · length, goal."
3. Packages: "Turn these offers into 3 packages with a name, what's included and one line on who it's for: [offers and prices]."
4. Hooks: "Give me 15 opening lines under 8 words for a [format] video about [product] for [audience]. Mix questions, bold claims I can prove and surprising facts."
5. Pitch email: "Write a pitch under 120 words to [brand]. I've used [product] for [time] and noticed [detail]. Suggest one 20-second video idea. End with my portfolio link: [link]."
6. Review: "Here's my portfolio text: [paste]. Act as a brand manager with 30 seconds. What's unclear, what would make you leave, and what should I cut?"
What you should never let AI do
Don't let AI invent results, reviews, brand partnerships or numbers, and don't present AI-generated people as real customers. If you use AI voice or visuals in client work, tell the brand and use the platforms' AI labels. See AI UGC ads: what real creators should know.
Edit everything in your own voice
Read every AI draft out loud and change anything you wouldn't say on camera. Brands hire UGC creators because they sound like real people, so the final words should sound like you.
Put the words on a page that works
Once your bio, labels and packages are written, drop them into a portfolio layout that already has the right sections, so the copy and videos sit where brands expect them.
