How to write a business plan with AI

Before you start

• A rough business idea
• Realistic revenue and cost estimates

Tools you'll use

• SynaBot
• Google Sheets

Steps

1. 1

   Write the idea in 3 sentences

   The problem, the customer, the offer. If you can't, you are not ready to write a plan yet.

2. 2

   Ask for a plan outline

   Prompt: "Turn this idea into a business plan outline with sections for market, competition, offer, financials, go-to-market, milestones."

3. 3

   Draft each section separately

   Feed the outline back. Ask for one section at a time — long sections written in one shot get generic.

4. 4

   Run the financials by hand

   AI is not a spreadsheet. Build revenue, cost and cash-flow projections in Sheets or Excel yourself, then paste the assumptions back.

5. 5

   Ask for the pushback

   Prompt: "You are a skeptical investor. List the 5 questions you would ask about this plan." Answer them in the plan.
