How to use these prompts (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) like a founder operating system

What to fill in before you run any prompt

Inputs checklist

  • [BUSINESS], [INDUSTRY], [TARGET_CUSTOMER], [OFFER], [PRICE]
  • [GOALS_90_DAYS], [CONSTRAINTS] (time, budget, team size)
  • [CHANNELS] (SEO, YouTube, TikTok/Reels, email, WhatsApp, retail media, affiliates)
  • [DATA] you have (GA4, CRM, Stripe, support tickets, reviews)
Workflow tip (Dec 2025)

Ask your AI to output: planfirst draftchecklistrisksnext 3 actions. This mirrors how founders use an “AI agent” to keep momentum.

Guardrails

If you operate in regulated industries, include compliance requirements and avoid copying competitor IP.

In late 2025, winning small businesses are building: AI agent workflows, first-party data capture, AI search visibility (AI SEO),creator/UGC pipelines, short-form video, and automation across sales + support.

High-volume queries to weave into your content strategy

These are typical “money” queries founders search and publish around: “best AI tools for small business”, “AI prompts for entrepreneurs”, “how to automate a small business”, “how to use AI agents for business”, “marketing prompts for ChatGPT”, “sales prompts for SDR”, “how to create a business plan with AI”, “GA4 dashboard for small business”, “how to get more leads with LinkedIn”, and “customer support automation with AI”.

100 AI prompts for entrepreneurs (copy-paste)
