ChatGPT Prompt to Create a Business Plan
Creating a solid business plan is a crucial step for any entrepreneur, whether launching a startup, convincing investors, or structuring their strategic vision. Traditionally, writing a business plan requires weeks of work, expertise in finance, marketing, and business strategy. With ChatGPT, you can significantly accelerate this process by generating a first complete and structured version in minutes. The AI helps you cover all essential aspects: executive summary, market analysis, commercial strategy, operational plan, and financial projections. Of course, the generated result should be refined with your actual data and field knowledge. ChatGPT particularly excels at structuring your ideas, identifying missing sections, and formulating your arguments professionally. Whether you are a beginner entrepreneur looking for a work framework or a seasoned professional wanting to save time on writing, these prompts will allow you to obtain a business plan tailored to your project and target audience.
The prompt
Act as a business strategy consultant with 20 years of experience in writing business plans for startups and SMEs. I want to create a complete business plan for my project: [DESCRIBE_YOUR_PROJECT IN 2-3 SENTENCES]. My target market is [DESCRIBE_YOUR_TARGET]. My initial budget is [AMOUNT]. Generate a professional business plan structured with the following sections:
- Executive summary (value proposition, 3-year objectives, funding needs)
- Company presentation (mission, vision, values, recommended legal form)
- Market analysis (market size, trends, customer segmentation, simplified PESTEL analysis)
- Competitive analysis (positioning, SWOT matrix, competitive advantages)
- Commercial and marketing strategy (4P marketing mix, acquisition channels, pricing strategy)
- Operational plan (key processes, required resources, 12-month launch schedule)
- Team and organization (organizational chart, key profiles to recruit, missing skills)
- Financial projections (3-year forecast income statement, breakeven point, simplified cash flow plan)
- Funding needs (amount, use of funds, expected ROI for investors)
- Risks and mitigation strategies
For each section, be precise and use realistic data based on the sector. Adopt a professional but accessible tone, suitable for a presentation to investors.

ChatGPT Prompt to Summarize a Document
Summarizing a document is one of the most requested tasks for ChatGPT, and for good reason: facing 50-page reports, dense scientific articles, or endless meeting minutes, saving time without losing the essentials has become a key skill. But a simple "summarize this text" often produces a flat result that misses important nuances. The difference between a mediocre summary and a truly useful one lies entirely in the quality of the prompt used. A good summary prompt must specify the expected format, the desired level of detail, the target audience, and the elements to prioritize. It should also guide ChatGPT on what not to do: invent information absent from the document, merge distinct ideas, or omit crucial numerical data. The prompts presented on this page are designed to extract the substance of a document while preserving its logical structure, key arguments, and conclusions. Whether you are a student facing a thesis, a professional dealing with an audit, or a researcher analyzing a literature review, you will find here the prompt suited to your exact need.
