Research & Script Writer | Long-Form Content on AI, Geopolitics, Tech

I write scripts and do research for YouTube channels that work in depth. Not for faceless automation, not for top-10 lists — for content that needs structure, sources, and a real argument behind it. Currently working with an AI-focused channel as the lead writer and researcher. Recent scripts: Geoffrey Hinton and the alignment problem, the Musk/Altman/Amodei conflict, AI as the next stage of human evolution. What I do: — Long-form scripts (3,000-8,000 words) built around retention from the first line — Research using English and Russian primary sources — useful when Western coverage misses half the picture — Fact-checking against original documents, not Wikipedia or aggregators — Story architecture for complex topics — AI, geopolitics, defence, technology, history On AI tools: I don't just prompt AI — I work with it the way an analyst works with a source network. Claude for deep reasoning and editorial structure, Grok for real-time fact parsing, Gemini for cross-verification. Each model has a role. The judgement on what to trust, what to cut, and what the argument actually is — that stays with me. I don't let AI think for me. They are my professional tools, not my ghostwriters. A note before we start: I work only with clients who know what they want and can write a clear brief. If you're looking for someone to figure out your concept for you — I'm not your person. If you have a vision, a niche, and respect for the work — we'll move fast.
