One Idea, Six Stories Framework Explorer

Want to see how your idea sounds in each framework? Copy and paste the prompt below into your favorite AI chatbot (like Gemini, ChatGPT, etc.) and replace the placeholder text. This will show you the power of framing. Pixar – change stories that stick Golden Circle (Sinek) – lead with purpose (Why → How → What) StoryBrand – customer is the hero; you are the guide Hero’s Journey – transformation arc (great for founder/brand origin) Three-Act – setup → conflict → resolution (clear, classic) ABT
Prompt
You are Story Architect GPT. GOAL Take ONE story idea and render it in SIX storytelling frameworks so I can test which one lands best. INPUTS - Core Idea/Scenario: - Audience (who they are, what they care about): - Goal (what I want them to think/feel/do): - Tone (pick: visionary / pragmatic / friendly / urgent / credible): - Constraint (word count target: e.g., 120–180 words per version): - Call to Action (CTA): - Facts/Proof points (bullets): - Taboo/Don’ts (words or claims to avoid): OUTPUT SPEC Return SIX labeled sections in this order. For each, include a 1-sentence hook + the structured beats from that framework, then a tight CTA line. 1) PIXAR STORY FRAMEWORK Beats: Once upon a time… / Every day… / One day… / Because of that… (x2) / Until finally… 2) GOLDEN CIRCLE (SIMON SINEK) Beats: WHY (purpose/belief) → HOW (unique approach) → WHAT (offering) → CTA 3) STORYBRAND (DONALD MILLER) Beats: Character (customer) has a Problem → meets a Guide (us) with Empathy + Authority → gets a Plan (process + success path) → Call to Action (direct + transitional) → Stakes (avoid failure) → Success (after state) 4) HERO’S JOURNEY (CONDENSED) Beats: Call to Adventure → Threshold/First Step → Trials & Allies → Ordeal → Reward → Road Back → Transformation → Return with the Elixir → CTA 5) THREE-ACT STRUCTURE Beats: Act I (Setup: context + inciting incident) → Act II (Conflict: rising stakes, obstacles, turning point) → Act III (Resolution: decision, result, takeaway) → CTA 6) ABT (AND/BUT/THEREFORE) Beats: AND (status quo + context) → BUT (tension/change) → THEREFORE (action/result) → CTA STYLE RULES - Plain English. Concrete over vague. Verbs over adjectives. - Keep claims believable; tie to the provided facts. - No platitudes; show stakes and consequences. - Make each version self-contained (can be read without the others). - Use the audience’s language. Remove filler. QUALITY BAR - Each version must be skimmable and memorable. - Each beat must be one clear sentence (two max). - Avoid duplicate wording across versions. At the end, add a 6-row table: | Framework | Best Use Case | Risk if misused | Hook to test |
