The best prompts for business

These prompts cover the documents a founder, manager or small-business owner has to produce and rarely has time for: a business plan, a SWOT analysis, a competitor comparison, a pitch deck outline, a set of OKRs and a job description. Each one is built to take the facts you already hold and return a structured draft in the format that kind of document normally follows.

Choose by the question you are trying to answer. If you need the whole picture of a venture for a lender or investor, start with the business plan prompt. If you are weighing one specific choice, the SWOT prompt ties the analysis to that decision. Use the competitor analysis prompt when you have gathered research and need it organized, the pitch deck prompt when you have to persuade a room, the OKR prompt when strategy has to become measurable goals, and the job description prompt when you are hiring.

A language model is good at structure, at spotting gaps and at turning rough notes into clear prose. It is not a source of facts about your market, your competitors or your finances, and it will produce plausible figures if you let it. Every prompt here therefore works from what you supply, marks what is missing and separates given facts from the model's reasoning. Check the arithmetic, verify anything that will be shown to investors, lenders or candidates, and take professional advice on legal and financial questions.
