Demo of using AI to draft a business plan
- In these demos that I'm doing, I will be using different AI tools. I'll be mixing up as I do them. We're going to start here using Google Gemini. Now, you have to understand that these tools might look different when you use them because they're being updated all the time. The interface is changing, the models are changing. In fact, here, if you look at the top here, you might be able to see that we're using Gemini Advanced 1.5 Pro. That's the current default model. But if I click on this, you'll see that actually there's an option to go to version 2.0, which is more advanced, Flash Experimental and Experimental Advanced. Now, I'm just going to keep going with the default version of 1.5 Pro. So you know by the time you get this, if you've got the paid version, then you will be using a more advanced version than the one that I'm currently using, which means that you should get better results, right? Anyway, let's get ready to plan a business. This here, I'm going to paste the prompt in, and I will go through what I think are the important parts of the prompt here. I'm not going to read out the whole prompt because you can get the prompt and read it yourself right here at this site. This is where you will get access to a spreadsheet with all of the prompts, all of the top 10 prompts that I'll be using in the course. Go along here. Right, so now let's have a quick look here. We're seeing, first of all, we want imagine that you're an expert business strategist, ability to articulate company vision and compelling business plan. All right, so we're actually telling it what it is that we want it to do, what it is that we value by telling it the role and the particular tasks within that role that are important to us. One thing I want you to understand is that this is going to interview us. So we're saying here, "I want you to ask me questions one at a time. Ask me a question, then stop and wait for my answer." So this is an important thing as well that we're going to interview, it's going to interview us to get the information. We're not adding the information ourself into the prompt. This is going to be a conversation. That's how it's going to get the information. The other thing that I want you to understand is that, as I say here, that this is a multi-stage prompt. What that means is that I'm asking it to deliver one chunk of information at a time. So it's not delivering all of it in a single response, it's going to interview us to get the information and then give us one piece of the business plan at a time. That means that by focusing on it, it can do a better job and it can give us more output because it's focusing on just that one section. So here are the sections I'm looking at. If we scroll down here, company description is one, organization and management, products and services. So it's going to ask us questions to be able to fill in all of these. Market analysis, marketing and sales strategy, operational plan. And then it does, last of all, once it's got all of that information, it will summarize it in an executive summary, and that's the bit that we then put at the front of the document usually, the executive summary. Right, so we've run this prompt and it's going to start asking us questions. So here we go, here's the first question. "I'm ready to put on my expert business strategist hat and help you craft a compelling business plan. Let's start with the foundation. What's the name of the company and what type of business entity is it?" Right, so let me explain to you first of all before I put it in here. The company we're going to do is a company that makes the cross between slippers and flip flops. Okay, they're comfortable flip flops. In fact, we're going to call them slip-flops because they're slippers and flip flops put together, slip-flops, and the product will look a little bit like this. So this will be comfortable, fluffy slipper flip flops. That's the company that we want to launch. We believe there's a gap in the market there. We believe it's a a product that people are interested in. And I am going to do this by, you might be able to see down here at the bottom it says Use Microphone. So we're going to fast forward through me giving the information, otherwise it's going to be really boring and I am going to have the conversation and then we will go through the results as we get the results. So time to hit fast forward. Here we go. (upbeat music) So we can see here, (bell ringing) it's now given us a draft of the first section, which is products and services. (static buzzing) Now it's giving us market analysis. (static buzzing) Now it's giving us our marketing and sales strategy. (static buzzing) And now it's giving us our operational plan. (static buzzing) Now you can see here that actually it says that we operate from a central office location in the UK to manage core business functions, including marketing, sales, administration. For this business, I wouldn't want an office. So let's say please refine this so that our team is working remotely. (static buzzing) And as you'll be able to see here, it will now rewrite that section. Here we go, operational plan rewritten based on that information I gave it. So facilities, it now says remote team rather than from a central premises, pop-up stores, warehouse, and logistics. Fantastic. Explains equipments. Now let's move on to the executive summary. So this is the last section, and it's already written the executive summary here, so that it's nice and easy, the whole thing, easy to read, absolutely fantastic. So, I am quite impressed with all of that information. Now, obviously what we would do is we would take that information and we would check it to make sure that it's accurate. So that's the first thing. Check it to make sure that it's accurate because as you saw in there, it was making up some stuff. It was filling in the gaps for the information I hadn't given it, so it was making stuff up. We need to check that that's correct, see if we're happy with that, that then becomes our foundation for our document. We will then rewrite it in a tone that we like and improve it in any way. And then we need to add in things like financial forecasts and stuff like that. Now, we could get the AI to help us with financial forecasts, but that's more than this prompt would be able to do. I feel that if we started adding that into the prompt, it starts becoming too complicated, too many parts to it. This is about writing, not about financial calculations. So for that, I would write a different prompt about financial calculations to help us to create some kind of forecast. But there we go. If you want, you can slow down the video and see exactly what it wrote. And if you like it, then I am giving away 20% of the company for $7.3 million. If you're up for that, let me know, we could start a business together.
