ChatGPT Prompt for Analyzing Competition
Competitive analysis is a fundamental pillar of any effective business strategy. Yet, it often remains time-consuming and superficial when done manually. ChatGPT radically transforms this process by allowing you to structure, deepen, and synthesize your competitive intelligence in minutes. With a well-crafted prompt, you can obtain a complete map of your competitors: positioning, strengths, weaknesses, marketing strategies, pricing policy, and differentiation opportunities. The AI particularly excels at putting disparate data into perspective and identifying patterns that the human eye might miss. Whether you are launching a new product, preparing an investor pitch, or adjusting your go-to-market strategy, a well-formulated competitive analysis prompt gives you a decisive advantage. The key is to provide enough context about your market and objectives so that ChatGPT produces actionable analysis rather than a generic summary. Here are the most effective prompts to turn ChatGPT into a formidable competitive analyst.
The prompt
Act as a senior strategic analyst specialized in competitive intelligence. I am a [DESCRIBE YOUR ROLE] in the [YOUR SECTOR] sector. My company [NAME] offers [DESCRIBE YOUR MAIN OFFERING] and targets [DESCRIBE YOUR TARGET].
My main competitors are: [LIST 3-5 COMPETITORS].
Conduct an in-depth competitive analysis following this structure:
-
Competitive mapping: Position each competitor on the price/quality and innovation/tradition axes. Identify direct competitors, indirect competitors, and potential substitutes.
-
Individual analysis per competitor:
- Main value proposition
- Key strengths and weaknesses
- Pricing strategy (price positioning)
- Main acquisition channels
- Communication tone and brand positioning
-
Comparative analysis: Create a comparison table on the following criteria: price, key features, customer service, digital presence, customer reviews, estimated market share.
-
Opportunities and threats: Identify untapped market gaps, emerging trends that my competitors are ignoring, and potential threats.
-
Strategic recommendations: Propose 5 concrete and prioritized actions to differentiate myself, with for each: effort level, expected impact, and implementation timeline.
Be factual, use data when possible, and prioritize actionable insights over generic observations.

Why it works
This prompt works thanks to the assignment of a precise expert role (senior strategic analyst) which activates the model's specialized knowledge, combined with a 5-part analytical structure that forces a comprehensive and organized response. The request for business context (sector, offering, target) allows ChatGPT to calibrate its analysis instead of producing generalities, while the final instruction to prioritize actionable insights directs the output toward concrete recommendations rather than descriptive ones.

Claude Prompt to Create a Presentation
Creating a compelling presentation requires much more than lining up bullet points on slides.

Claude excels at this task because it can simultaneously act as a communication strategist, a copywriter, and a content designer. By providing it with a well-crafted prompt, you get a complete presentation with a coherent narrative structure, catchy titles, speaker notes, and visual suggestions. Whether you're preparing an investor pitch, internal training, a conference, or a simple team meeting, Claude adjusts the level of detail, vocabulary, and format to your context.

Claude can also generate content in various usable formats — structured Markdown, a detailed slide-by-slide plan, or even HTML code for tools like Reveal.js.
