# Create from a Topic Prompt

Let the AI research the subject for you by sending a `topic` without additional resources. Include `text` to define the angle.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "outputType": "video",
    "topic": "How remote teams can stay productive",
    "text": "Focus on tactics for hybrid startups."
  }'
```

**Tips**

* Add `duration`, `style`, or `language` fields to nail the format.
* Pair with custom instructions that list the exact talking points you expect.
