Most people ask AI to “Analyse my competitors”—and wonder why the output is mediocre. Here's how to write a prompt that actually gets you what you want on the first try.

“Analyse my competitors”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Create a competitor analysis for a new B2B project management tool entering the market. Analyse three main competitors: Asana, Monday.com, and ClickUp. For each, cover: target customer, core positioning, pricing model, top 3 strengths, top 2 weaknesses, and one gap we could exploit. Present as a comparison table. End with a 3-sentence strategic recommendation.”
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Named competitors produce specific analysis rather than hypothetical patterns
Gap identification column is the strategic output most AI analyses miss
Recommendation at the end closes the loop from analysis to action
