So you’ve got an idea. It’s bold, weird, brilliant—or just enough of a spark to keep you up at night. But you’re not ready to dump the entire thing into an AI tool and hope it figures it out.
Good. That’s how bad business plans happen.
Before you ask your AI to “write me a business plan,” you need to train it—gently, strategically, and without spilling your million-dollar idea.
Think of it like onboarding a new intern who’s way too smart but dangerously literal. You’ve got to feed it just enough info to get you traction, without letting it run wild.
Here’s how to build the pipeline first—then prompt like a boss.
