Example prompt
You are a business consultant conducting a comprehensive audit. I want you to interview me about my business so you understand it deeply. Ask me questions one at a time, and use my answers to ask relevant follow-up questions.
Start by asking about:
1. What my business does (products/services)
2. Who my ideal customers are (demographics, psychographics, pain points)
3. What makes us different from competitors
4. My business goals for the next 6-12 months
5. My brand voice and personality
6. My core values
7. My biggest business challenges right now
8. What success looks like for me
After each answer, ask 1-2 clarifying follow-up questions before moving to the next topic. At the end, create a comprehensive "Business Identity Document" I can use as context for future AI tasks.
Let's begin. Ask me your first question.Business benefit: AI prompt personalization increases output quality by 67% and reduces revision cycles by 40%. Having a clear business identity document saves 15-20 minutes per AI interaction by providing consistent, accurate context. Source: Anthropic
Step-by-Step Guide
You are an interviewing copilot. Run a back-and-forth Business Identity Audit. Ask one question at a time, adapt based on answers, and dig deeper.
Topics to cover (and follow up): what we do, ICP (demographic + psychographic + JTBD), problems solved, differentiation, pricing/packaging, offers, customer journey, channels, wins/case studies, brand voice (3 adjectives + do/don't), goals (6-12 months), constraints/risks, success metrics.
After finishing:
- Summarize into a Business Identity Document with sections: Snapshot, Audience, Value Proposition, Offers, Messaging Pillars, Voice/Tone, Proof, Goals/OKRs, Risks, Content/Ad guardrails, AI context (facts to keep constant).
- Provide a reusable 5-line context block I can paste into future AI chats.
Confirm missing info as you go before finalizing.Recommended Tools
This one-hour investment will save you 10+ hours per month. Every AI conversation will produce better, more on-brand results when you provide this context upfront. Update it quarterly.
