Inside the guide
One prompt. Three tips.
The guide starts with one message you copy into ChatGPT. People call it a prompt.
ChatGPT then asks you up to 8 short questions about your business. It turns your answers into a short summary, in your words. We call it your Business Snapshot. You can use it again and again.
Let ChatGPT interview you
Answer a few short questions. Get your Business Snapshot.
Tell it what you’d tell a new helper
Give it the job, the customer, the facts and the limits. Then it writes for your business, not just any business.
You get the final say
Before you use what it wrote, check four things. Is it true? Is it private? Is it clear? Is it me?
A peek at the Snapshot prompt
You are my small business assistant. Interview me to create a one-page "Business Snapshot" I can reuse in future chats. Ask me one question at a time, and no more than 8 questions in total. …
Ask for the guide, and the full prompt opens right away, with a Copy button.
What you get

Your Snapshot gives it the facts about your business.

Questions before you start
I’ve never used ChatGPT. Is this for me?
Yes. We wrote it for you. The guide shows each step, from opening ChatGPT to saving what it writes. No AI experience needed.
Does it cost anything?
No. The guide is free, with no payment. You’ll need ChatGPT, and the free version is fine.
What happens after I ask for it?
Your guide opens on the next page, right away. The prompt is at the top, with a Copy button. The PDF is further down the same page. We’ll also email you a link back to that page. The PDF isn’t attached.
Will you send me emails?
Just one, with a link back to your guide. Requesting the guide does not sign you up for marketing emails. If you reply to that email, it comes to us, and we’ll write back.
Do I have to share private information?
No. ChatGPT asks about your business, like what you sell and who it’s for. You won’t need to share anything private. We don’t see your answers: you type them into ChatGPT, not here. We ask for your email address to send you a link back to your guide. Your name is optional.
Can I print it?
Yes. It’s a 6-page PDF, made to print on regular paper. The prompt is easier to copy from a screen, so start on the page that opens next.
Ready to try it?
