A Guide to Building Smarter With AI
Brought to you by Denise Reid, Denisse Mayers Paulino, and Adebukola Ajao
A Note from Denise, Denisse, and Adebukola
Everyone wants AI to give them answers.
We want AI to help you ask better questions.
That's the difference.
Whether we're teaching entrepreneurship, consulting with an organization, or sitting across from someone with a brand new idea, we use AI the same way: as a thinking partner. Not because we don't know what we're doing. Because it helps us think faster, test ideas sooner, and catch things we might have missed.
If you walk away from this workshop and you're still unsure about everything else, we want you to take away one thing:
You are.
This guide gives you the kinds of questions and prompts we would use if we sat down together with your idea and had one focused afternoon to move it forward. Whether you're exploring something for the first time, building on the side, or running an established business, the process is the same: get clear on the idea, pressure-test it, and start building with intention.
This isn't about asking AI to do everything for you. It's about using AI as a thinking partner while you bring the lived experience, judgment, imagination, and context that no tool can replace.
Let's build something.
Denise, Denisse, and Adebukola
Five Principles
Before You Ask AI Anything
AI speeds up thinking. It doesn't replace it.
AI can help you explore possibilities, organize information, and pressure-test an idea. You are still responsible for deciding what is true, relevant, ethical, and right for what you're building.
Better questions lead to better results.
The quality of an AI response depends on the quality of the question. Don't settle for the first answer. Ask follow-ups, challenge what it gives you, and request comparisons.
Validate before you build.
AI can help you form a hypothesis, but it cannot replace conversations with real people. Use its output to guide interviews, research, prototypes, and experiments.
Strategy beats trends.
Don't add AI to your process simply because everyone is talking about it. Start with the person you're trying to help, the problem you're solving, and the outcome you want. Then decide whether AI makes the work more useful, efficient, or scalable.
Build systems, not just content.
AI is most valuable when it strengthens the way you work repeatedly. Look beyond one caption or one email. Use it to create research habits, decision frameworks, workflows, and reusable systems.
How to Use This Guide
AI is only as useful as the context you give it.
A vague request like:
...will usually produce a vague answer.
A stronger request might be:
A simple prompt formula
For a stronger response, give AI:
Three tracks, one guide
Not everyone reading this is in the same place, and that's the point. This guide is built for three types of builders:
Exploring an idea.
You have a spark. Maybe it's been sitting in your head for a while, maybe it just hit you this week. You haven't done much with it yet, and that's fine. Start here.
Building on the side.
You're working on something alongside a job or other commitments. The idea has some shape, but time and money are real constraints. You need practical, grounded guidance.
Running a business.
You're already selling, serving clients, or managing operations. You want AI to help you think more strategically about growth, positioning, systems, and decisions.
Each module teaches one core concept that applies to everyone. The prompt exercises are labeled by track so you can find the version that fits where you are right now. You're welcome to try more than one.
Before you begin
Replace every bracketed section in the prompts with your own information. Treat what AI gives you as a starting point, not a final answer. Highlight what resonates, question what doesn't, and bring the strongest ideas into real conversations with real people.
Module 1
Clarify Your Idea
Move from an exciting concept to a clear picture of what you're building, who it's for, and why it matters.
This module will help you:
- Name the problem your idea actually solves.
- Identify the people most likely to need it.
- Surface assumptions you might be making without realizing it.
- Find what makes your approach different.
- Write a clear description of what you're offering.
Exercise 1
Is This Idea Worth Building?
Before you create a website, design a logo, or start posting content, pressure-test the idea itself.
Start here (everyone)
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
I have an idea I'm excited about, but I haven't done much with it yet. I want you to help me think through whether it's worth pursuing.
Here's what I'm thinking: [describe your idea in your own words].
I think it could help [who you imagine it's for] with [the problem you think it solves].
Help me understand:
- What problem does this actually solve?
- How are people dealing with this problem right now without my idea?
- Who would be most excited about this first?
- What am I assuming that I haven't tested yet?
- What could make this idea fail?
- What could make it stand out?
- What are the three most important things I should figure out before going further?
Be honest with me. Don't just encourage me. Help me see what I might be missing. If you need more information, ask me up to five questions before answering.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a practical business advisor. I'm working on a side project and I want to pressure-test it before I invest more time and money.
My idea is called [name].
It does the following: [describe the product, service, or experience].
I believe it's for [who you think it serves] and solves [the problem you think it addresses].
My constraints: I'm building this alongside [job, family, school, or other commitments] with [limited budget / evenings and weekends / a small network / etc.].
Analyze the idea and tell me:
- What problem it appears to solve.
- How people currently handle this problem without my idea.
- Who would be most likely to pay first.
- What assumptions I'm making about the audience, the problem, demand, and how I'd deliver it.
- What could make it fail, especially given my constraints.
- What could make it meaningfully different from what already exists.
- The three most important things I should test before investing more time or money.
Be specific and constructive. Separate what you know from what you're guessing. Ask me up to five follow-up questions if you need more context.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a thoughtful but rigorous startup strategist. I want you to help me pressure-test a business idea without automatically agreeing with me.
My idea or business is called [name].
It does the following: [describe the product, service, or experience].
I believe it is for [target customer] and solves [core problem].
Analyze the idea and tell me:
- What problem it appears to solve.
- How people currently solve that problem without my idea.
- Who would be most likely to buy first.
- Which assumptions I am making about the customer, problem, demand, and delivery.
- What could make the idea fail.
- What could make it meaningfully different.
- The three most important things I should validate before investing heavily.
Separate facts from hypotheses. Ask me up to five follow-up questions if you need more context. Don't be nice for the sake of being encouraging. Be specific, constructive, and useful.
Questions to sit with
- Which assumption feels riskiest?
- What did AI get wrong because I didn't give it enough context?
- What would I need to hear from a real person to feel confident?
- What is one small thing I could do this week to test this idea?
Denisse's Note
Everybody wants to talk about what they're building. Nobody wants to talk about the problem. Flip that. If you can't describe the problem better than your customer can, you're not ready to sell the solution.
Exercise 2
Who Actually Needs This?
You don't need to reach everyone. You need to find the first group of people with the clearest need, the most urgency, and the best fit for what you're building.
Start here (everyone)
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
I have an idea, but I'm not sure who would actually want it. Help me figure out who my first audience might be.
Here's what I'm thinking about building: [brief description].
The result it would create for someone: [outcome].
People I think might be interested: [any audiences you've thought about, or "I'm not sure yet"].
What I have to work with right now: [time, money, skills, connections, or other resources].
Help me identify three groups of people who might need this. For each group, tell me:
- Why they would care.
- How big the problem is for them.
- How easy it would be for me to reach them.
- Whether they'd likely pay for it.
Then recommend which group I should focus on first and explain why. Give me three questions I could ask someone in that group to find out if I'm on the right track.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a practical market researcher. I'm building something on the side and I need to figure out who to focus on first so I don't waste my limited time.
What I'm building: [brief description]
The result or change it creates: [outcome]
People I think might need it: [list any audiences you're considering]
My current constraints: [time, budget, reach, skills, geography, capacity]
How I want to make money from it: [business model]
Identify three possible audiences. Compare them based on:
- How urgent the problem is for them.
- Whether they can and would pay.
- How easy they are for me to reach given my constraints.
- How quickly I could start earning from them.
- Whether they would tell other people about it.
Recommend which audience I should start with. Then give me:
- A guess about what would make someone in that group start looking for a solution.
- Five questions I could ask them in a real conversation.
- Three places I could find them, online or in person.
- One low-cost experiment I could run in the next seven days.
Don't make up data. Label what's a fact versus what's an educated guess.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a market researcher and positioning strategist. Based on the information below, identify the three most promising initial customer segments for my offering.
Business or product: [brief description]
Result or transformation: [desired customer outcome]
Possible audiences: [list any audiences you are considering]
My current resources and constraints: [time, budget, reach, skills, geography, capacity, or other limits]
Preferred business model: [business model]
Compare the three segments using:
- Severity and urgency of the problem.
- Purchasing power.
- Ease of reaching them.
- Speed of the sales cycle.
- Potential lifetime value.
- Likelihood of referrals.
- Strength of fit with my current resources and credibility.
Present the comparison clearly. Recommend which audience I should start with and explain the tradeoffs. For the recommended audience, provide:
- A hypothesis about what triggers them to look for a solution.
- Five customer interview questions.
- Three places or channels where I could reach them.
- One low-cost validation experiment I could run in the next seven days.
Label assumptions clearly and do not invent market data.
Questions to sit with
- Do I actually have access to the audience it recommended?
- Does this group of people know they have this problem?
- Is the problem urgent enough that someone would pay to solve it now?
- Who could I talk to this week before I commit?
- Does serving this audience fit what I actually want to build?
Denise's Note
You don't need everybody.
You need your first believers.
Module 2
Validate Before You Build
Turn assumptions into questions and questions into evidence before you invest real time and money.
AI can help you prepare for this stage, but it cannot do it for you. Validation happens in real conversations, real observations, and real experiments. The prompts in this module are designed to get you ready for those moments.
This module will help you:
- Design conversations that surface honest feedback, not polite encouragement.
- Understand how people are currently solving the problem without you.
- Spot gaps between what exists and what people actually need.
- Build a short list of things to test before you commit.
Exercise 1
Talk to Real People Before You Build for Them
The single most important thing you can do before building anything is have honest conversations with the people you think need it. Not surveys. Not polls. Real conversations where you listen more than you pitch.
Start here (everyone)
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
I have an idea I'm excited about, but I haven't talked to anyone about it yet. I want to have a few casual conversations with people who might need this, but I don't want to just pitch them and ask if they like it. I want to actually learn something.
Here's what I'm thinking about building: [brief description].
I think it could help [who you imagine it's for] with [the problem you think it solves].
Help me prepare for these conversations:
- Give me 7 open-ended questions I can ask that focus on how people currently experience this problem, not on whether they like my idea.
- Tell me what kinds of answers would be a good sign and what kinds of answers should make me pause.
- Suggest 3 types of people I should try to talk to and why.
- Give me a few tips for keeping the conversation natural and honest instead of turning it into a sales pitch.
Keep the language casual. I'm not running a formal study. I just want to have real conversations and pay attention.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a practical customer research advisor. I'm building a side project and I need to talk to potential users or customers before I invest more time. I want to design conversations that help me learn whether this idea is worth pursuing, not just collect compliments.
What I'm building: [brief description]
Who I think needs it: [target audience]
The problem I think it solves: [the problem]
What I'm most unsure about: [your biggest open question]
Help me design a simple interview process:
- Give me 8 to 10 questions that explore how people currently deal with this problem, what frustrates them, what they've tried, and what they'd pay for.
- Tell me which questions to prioritize if I only have 15 minutes.
- Flag the kinds of responses that signal real demand versus polite interest.
- Suggest 3 to 5 specific places or communities where I could find people to interview.
- Give me a one-sentence way to ask someone for a conversation without sounding like I'm selling something.
I don't have a big budget or a lot of time. Make this doable for someone fitting research into evenings and weekends.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a customer discovery strategist. I'm evaluating a new product, service, or offering and I need to design a structured interview process to validate demand before I commit resources.
Business or product: [brief description]
Target customer segment: [who you believe the customer is]
Core problem or need: [the problem you're solving]
Key assumptions I'm testing: [list 2 to 4 assumptions you're making about the customer, the problem, or the market]
Design a customer discovery process that includes:
- 10 to 12 interview questions structured to explore behavior, pain points, current alternatives, willingness to pay, and decision-making triggers.
- A recommended interview flow that moves from broad context to specific reactions.
- Criteria for distinguishing validated demand from social desirability bias.
- A scoring or tagging system I can use to compare responses across interviews.
- A target number of interviews needed for directional confidence.
- Suggested recruitment channels for my specific audience.
Prioritize learning over confirmation. I want to find reasons this might not work as much as reasons it will.
Questions to sit with
- Am I willing to hear that people don't want this? If not, I'm not ready to ask.
- Do these questions get at what people actually do, or just what they say they'd do?
- Who is the very first person I could have this conversation with?
- What would I need to hear to change my mind about the idea?
Adebukola's Note
The best insights come from the moments someone leans in and says, "Wait, tell me more about that." It does not come from AI. Pay attention to those moments. They are serendipitous and sometimes feel like aha moments.
Exercise 2
Find Out What Already Exists
Before you assume your idea is new, understand how people are currently solving the problem. Sometimes they're using a competitor. Sometimes they're using a workaround. Sometimes they're just living with the frustration. All of those are useful things to know.
Start here (everyone)
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
I'm working on an idea, but I'm not sure what else is already out there that solves a similar problem. I don't want to copy anyone, but I also don't want to build something that already exists without knowing it.
Here's what I'm thinking about building: [brief description].
The problem it addresses: [the problem].
Things I've already noticed that are similar: [anything you know about, or "I haven't looked yet"].
Help me understand the landscape:
- What are 3 to 5 existing products, services, or approaches that people use to solve this problem right now?
- For each one, tell me what it does well and what people seem to complain about or wish was different.
- Are there people who just live with the problem instead of solving it? If so, why?
- Based on what's already out there, where do you see a gap or an opportunity that my idea could fill?
Be specific. Don't just list competitors. Help me understand what people actually experience when they try to solve this problem today.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a competitive research analyst. I'm building a side project and I need to understand what already exists in this space before I invest more time. I want an honest picture, not reassurance.
What I'm building: [brief description]
The problem it solves: [the problem]
Alternatives I already know about: [list what you know, or "I haven't researched yet"]
What I think makes mine different: [your current differentiator, even if it's rough]
Help me map the landscape:
- Identify 5 to 7 existing solutions, including direct competitors, indirect alternatives, and workarounds people use instead.
- For each one, describe what they offer, who they serve, their approximate price range, and their biggest weakness or gap.
- Tell me where people seem underserved or frustrated with what's available.
- Evaluate whether my proposed differentiator is actually distinct or if someone else is already claiming that space.
- Suggest 2 to 3 positioning angles I could explore based on the gaps you found.
Be direct about where the market feels crowded and where there's real room.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a competitive intelligence and positioning strategist. I need a structured analysis of the competitive landscape for a new offering I'm evaluating.
Business or product: [brief description]
Core problem or need addressed: [the problem]
Target customer segment: [who you're serving]
Known competitors or alternatives: [list what you know]
Proposed differentiator: [what you believe sets you apart]
Conduct a competitive landscape analysis:
- Identify 5 to 8 competitors and alternatives, including direct competitors, indirect substitutes, and the "do nothing" option.
- For each, map: target audience, core offer, pricing model, key strengths, key weaknesses, and market positioning.
- Identify patterns across the landscape: where are most competitors clustered? Where are the gaps?
- Evaluate my proposed differentiator against the landscape. Is it defensible? Is it meaningful to the target customer? Is anyone else already claiming it?
- Recommend 2 to 3 positioning opportunities based on unmet needs, underserved segments, or messaging gaps.
- Flag any risks or barriers to entry I should be aware of.
Use publicly available information only. Label assumptions clearly and distinguish between verified facts and inferences.
Questions to sit with
- Did anything surprise me about what already exists?
- Are the gaps AI identified real, or do they exist because nobody wants that thing?
- Is my "differentiator" actually different, or is it just how I feel about my idea?
- What would I need to see from a real customer to believe I have a real opening?
Adebukola's Note
If you search for your idea and find ten other people doing something similar, that's a good sign. It means people are already spending money on this problem. Now the question is, what are they all missing?
What you should have after Module 2
By now, you should have a short list of questions to bring into real conversations, a clearer picture of what already exists in the space, and honest notes about what you still need to find out. If something changed about your idea based on what you learned here, that's a good sign. It means the process is working.
Module 3
Build Your First Digital Product
Shape the smallest, most useful version of your idea before you overbuild it.
The temptation is always to add more: more features, more options, more polish. But the fastest way to learn whether your idea works is to build the simplest version that delivers a real result for a real person, get it in front of people, and improve from there.
This module will help you:
- Define the core outcome your product delivers.
- Separate what's essential from what can wait.
- Structure the offer so it's clear what someone gets.
- Think through pricing in a way that's grounded, not guesswork.
- Write a clear description of what you're offering so someone can say yes or no.
Exercise 1
Define What You're Actually Making
Before you build anything, get clear on what the thing actually does for someone. Not the features. Not the format. The result. What changes for the person who uses it?
Start here (everyone)
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
I have an idea for something I want to build, but I keep adding things to it in my head and now it feels overwhelming. Help me figure out the simplest version that would still be useful.
Here's what I'm thinking about making: [brief description].
The format I'm imagining: [app, course, service, product, experience, etc.].
What I want it to do for someone: [the result or change].
Everything I've been thinking it should include: [list it all, even the ambitious stuff].
What I could realistically build in the next 2 to 4 weeks: [be honest].
Help me:
- Identify the one core result this thing needs to deliver to be useful.
- Look at my list of features and separate what's essential for that core result from what can come later.
- Suggest the simplest version I could build and put in front of someone to test.
- Tell me what I should leave out for now, even if it feels important to me.
- Give me a clear one-sentence description of what this first version does.
Be honest if I'm trying to build too much at once. Help me focus.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a product strategist who specializes in helping people launch with limited time and resources. I'm building something on the side and I need to define the simplest version that's worth putting in front of real people.
What I'm building: [brief description]
Format: [app, course, service, product, tool, experience, etc.]
Core outcome for the user: [what changes for them]
Features I've been considering: [list everything]
My realistic capacity: [hours per week, budget, skills, tools available, timeline]
Help me scope a first version:
- Define the core transformation or result this product must deliver to be worth someone's time or money.
- Categorize my feature list into three groups: must have for launch, nice to have later, and cut entirely.
- Recommend the minimum version I can build and test within my constraints.
- Identify the biggest risk in this first version: what's most likely to make someone say "this isn't for me"?
- Write a clear, one-paragraph description of what this first version is and who it's for.
Prioritize speed to learning over completeness. I'd rather test something imperfect than perfect something nobody wants.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a product strategist. I'm defining the minimum viable version of a new offering and I need to make disciplined decisions about scope, structure, and positioning before I build.
Product or offering: [brief description]
Format and delivery model: [digital product, service, course, SaaS, experience, etc.]
Core transformation for the customer: [the outcome they're buying]
Full feature set under consideration: [list everything you've been planning]
Current resources and constraints: [team, budget, timeline, tools, existing audience]
Target customer segment: [who this is for]
Help me scope the first version:
- Define the core value proposition in one sentence.
- Categorize the feature set into: essential for launch, phase two, and out of scope.
- Identify the highest-risk assumption embedded in the first version.
- Recommend the minimum viable structure: what does the customer receive, how is it delivered, and what does the experience look like?
- Draft a positioning statement for this version that differentiates it from alternatives identified in my competitive research.
- Suggest one metric I should track to determine whether this version is working.
Be rigorous about scope. The goal is a version that's testable and valuable, not comprehensive.
Questions to sit with
- If I could only keep one feature, which one would it be?
- Would someone pay for this version, or does it need more to be useful?
- Am I cutting things because they're not needed, or because they're hard?
- Could I put this in front of someone in the next two weeks?
Denise's Note
Ship something. I don't care if it's rough. The people who wait until it's perfect are the same people still "working on it" two years from now. Build the smallest thing that actually helps someone, put it in their hands, and learn from what happens.
Exercise 2
Price It and Describe It
Two things stop people from launching: they don't know what to charge, and they don't know how to explain what they've built. AI can help you think through both, but the real answers come from testing your price and your language with actual people.
Start here (everyone)
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
I'm getting close to having something I could offer to people, but I don't know what to charge or how to describe it. I've never priced something like this before and I don't want to guess randomly.
Here's what I'm offering: [brief description from Exercise 1].
The result it creates for someone: [the outcome].
Who it's for: [the audience].
How it works: [format, timeline, what they get].
What I think I'd charge: [your instinct, or "I have no idea"].
Things people already pay for that are in a similar space: [anything comparable you've seen].
Help me think through this:
- Based on what I described, suggest 3 possible price points (low, middle, high) and explain the logic behind each.
- Tell me what factors should influence which price I start with.
- Help me write a simple, clear description of what this is and what someone gets. No jargon. Something I could text to a friend and they'd immediately understand.
- Give me one way to test my price with a real person before I commit to it publicly.
Don't overthink this. I need a starting point, not a final answer.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a pricing and positioning advisor for early-stage products. I'm building on the side and I need to set an initial price and write a clear description of what I'm offering. I want something grounded, not generic advice.
What I'm offering: [brief description from Exercise 1]
Core result for the customer: [the outcome or transformation]
Target audience: [who this is for]
Delivery format and structure: [what they get, how they get it, timeline]
My gut on pricing: [your instinct or range]
Comparable products or services people already pay for: [list what you've seen]
Help me develop a launch price and description:
- Suggest 3 pricing options with different structures (one-time, tiered, subscription, pay-what-you-can, etc.) and explain the tradeoff of each.
- Recommend which structure makes the most sense for a first launch given my constraints.
- Identify what I'd need to add or change to justify a higher price later.
- Write a clear product description (3 to 5 sentences) that leads with the problem, explains the result, and tells someone exactly what they get.
- Draft 3 subject lines or headlines I could use to introduce this to my audience.
- Give me a script for testing the price in a real conversation: how to bring it up and what to listen for.
Keep it practical. I'm launching, not perfecting.
Copy and paste this prompt into your AI tool.
You are a pricing strategist and conversion copywriter. I'm preparing to launch a new offering and I need a pricing framework and positioning copy grounded in the competitive landscape and customer research I've done.
Product or offering: [brief description from Exercise 1]
Core value proposition: [the positioning statement from Exercise 1]
Target customer segment: [who this is for]
Delivery format and structure: [what the customer receives and how]
Competitive pricing context: [what alternatives charge, from your Module 2 research]
Revenue model preference: [one-time, recurring, tiered, retainer, etc.]
Current audience size and channels: [how many people you can reach and where]
Develop a pricing and positioning package:
- Recommend a pricing structure with 2 to 3 tiers or options, including what's included at each level, the price point, and the strategic rationale.
- Identify the anchor price and explain the psychology behind the tier design.
- Draft the primary product description (5 to 7 sentences) optimized for clarity, specificity, and conversion. Lead with the problem, establish the result, and be explicit about what the customer receives.
- Draft 3 headline options and 2 subheadline options for the product or landing page.
- Write a concise FAQ section addressing the 5 most likely objections or questions from the target segment.
- Suggest a launch pricing strategy: introductory pricing, early-bird structure, or limited-availability approach, with a rationale for each.
Ground everything in the audience and competitive context I've provided. Avoid generic pricing advice.
Questions to sit with
- Would I pay this price for this result? Why or why not?
- When I read the description out loud, does it sound like something a real person would say, or does it sound like marketing?
- If I told someone the price, would they ask "what do I get?" or would they already understand?
- What would make me raise the price with confidence six months from now?
Denise's Note
You're going to agonize over pricing. Everyone does. Here's what I've learned: pick a number, say it out loud to a real person, and watch their face. That will teach you more than any pricing calculator ever will.
What you should have after Module 3
By now, you should have a clear first version of your product scoped down to what actually matters, a starting price you can test, and a description that someone outside your head can understand. You don't need it to be perfect. You need it to be real enough to put in front of people.
