6 prompts for founders, executives and managers. SWOT analysis, business plans, SOPs, meeting agendas, executive summaries and stakeholder updates.
Business prompts work best with Claude or ChatGPT-4. For long documents like business plans and SOPs, Claude handles structure better. For shorter, persuasive content like stakeholder updates and executive summaries, both perform equally well.
1. Write the current process in 10 bullet points (messy is fine). 2. Ask ChatGPT to clean it into a numbered SOP with decision branches ("If X, go to Step 3"). 3. Ask it to identify gaps: "What steps might I have missed?" 4. Add role assignments and timeframes yourself โ ChatGPT doesn't know your team. 5. Have the actual process owner review before publishing.
A typical "before AI" meeting agenda: a 3-bullet list sent 5 minutes before the call. An AI-assisted agenda: goal, pre-read materials, timed sections, owner for each item, expected output, parking lot section. Use the Meeting Agenda prompt and tell it the meeting's single most important decision โ that becomes the anchor for everything else.
Yes โ for structuring the narrative and drafting slide content. Describe your business, traction, market size, team, and ask ChatGPT to draft the problem-solution-traction-ask arc. It won't know your actual metrics, so you'll need to add those. Where AI is most useful for pitches: drafting the one-liner, the "why now" slide, and the competitive landscape framing. The story and conviction must come from you.
