Use it to widen the option set
The strongest use of a model in business is generating options you had not considered: ten risks, five pricing structures, three positioning angles. Then you choose, using information the model does not have.
Ask for the reasoning with each option. A list of ten risks is forgettable; a list of ten risks with likelihood, impact and a mitigation each is a document you can act on.
Keep the numbers yours
Never let a model produce financial figures you have not verified. It will happily invent a market size, a conversion rate or a growth multiple, and the output looks exactly as confident whether the number is real or fabricated.
Use it for structure and language: the shape of a business plan, the wording of an outreach email, the framing of a pricing page. Fill the numbers in yourself from a source you can cite.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI write a business plan?
It can produce a well-structured draft in minutes, which is genuinely useful for getting unstuck. Every number, market claim and competitor detail must be replaced with verified data before it goes to anyone who might act on it.
Is it safe to paste confidential business data?
Depends on the tool. Consumer chat interfaces may use inputs for training unless you opt out; enterprise plans usually do not. Strip names, prices and customer data, or use a local model for anything sensitive.
How good is it at pricing?
Good at generating pricing structures and the psychology behind each tier. Poor at knowing your willingness to pay data, your costs or your competitive position - those determine the number, not the model.
