Gemini Prompts for Opinion Posts: 7 Ready-to-Use Ideas

This page gives you seven Gemini prompts for opinion posts. Each one covers a step: choosing a stance, building the argument, and handling pushback. Copy any prompt, replace the brackets with your topic and your view, and run it in Gemini. The output is a working draft or an outline, not a finished essay.

Quick checklist

— The topic in one line.
— Your actual opinion, stated plainly before you prompt.
— Who disagrees with you, and why.
— One example or experience you can point to.
— The tone: calm, sharp, or playful.
— The reader you are writing for.

The prompts

1. Hot-take angle list

Give me 8 defensible opinion angles on [topic] for readers who follow [field]. For each, state the claim in one line and the belief it pushes against.

What it does: Surfaces angles that take a real position instead of restating consensus.

How to use: replace [topic] and [field]; delete any angle you would not defend in public.

2. Steelman before you argue

My view on [topic] is: [my_stance]. First, write the strongest version of the opposing case. Then list the three points where my view still holds.

What it does: Makes your argument stronger by starting from the best countercase.

How to use: replace [topic] and [my_stance] with your real position; use it to spot weak spots early.

3. Counterargument prep

For an opinion post arguing [my_stance] about [topic], list 6 objections readers will raise. For each, write a short reply that acknowledges it without conceding the whole point.

What it does: Preloads your responses so the comments section does not surprise you.

How to use: replace [topic] and [my_stance]; keep the three objections you cannot easily answer as future posts.

4. Thesis-first opener

Write 5 opening paragraphs for an opinion post on [topic]. Each should state my view in the first sentence, then set up why it matters to [reader_description]. Keep every opener under 60 words.

What it does: Gives you openers that lead with the take instead of a warm-up.

How to use: replace [topic] and [reader_description]; pick one and cut the last sentence if it drags.

5. Evidence organizer

For an opinion post on [topic], list the kinds of support I should gather: examples, comparisons, or first-hand experience. For each, tell me what would make it credible and what would weaken it.

What it does: Turns a vague take into a checklist of things to back up.

How to use: replace [topic]; supply your own examples where the prompt asks for them.

6. Comment-section objection filter

Here are comments reacting to my view on [topic]: [comment_text]. Group them into fair points and bad-faith ones. For the fair points, suggest one line I could add to the post.

What it does: Separates useful criticism from noise before you revise.

How to use: replace [topic] and [comment_text] with real replies; add the fair points that fit.

7. Opinion post outline

Outline an opinion post on [topic] arguing [my_stance] for [reader_description]. Use this shape: hook, claim, strongest counterpoint, rebuttal, close. Keep each section to one line.

What it does: Turns your stance into a structure you can fill in.

How to use: replace [topic], [my_stance], and [reader_description]; write one paragraph per section.

How to score your own output

The post takes a clear stance a reader could disagree with.
You address the strongest counterpoint, not the easiest one.
Every claim you keep is one you can support with an example.
