Stop using Claude like a chatbot.
With the 4.6 "Reasoning Engine," AI can now run an entire market research department for $0.
Here are 15 prompts that do 1 week of strategy work in seconds:
The "Competitor War Room" (Web-Agent)
"Act as a Lead Strategist. Use your agentic search to find the top 5 competitors in [Niche]. Analyze their latest 48 hours of PR, customer complaints on Threads, and pricing shifts. Create a SWOT matrix identifying the 'Moat' we can break by Q3."
The "Shadow Persona" Deep Dive
"Analyze these [Upload 50 Customer Transcripts]. Don't give me demographics; find the 'Dark Pain Point' the specific frustration they have but are too embarrassed to say. Map the emotional shift needed to make them switch to us today."
The "Blue Ocean" Navigator
"Analyze the [Industry] landscape using the 'Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create' framework. Identify a service gap that 90% of competitors are ignoring because it's 'too difficult' to automate. Outline a 30-day MVP plan to own that gap."
The "McKinsey Slide" Logic
"Take this raw data: [Paste Data]. Organize it into a Pyramid Principle structure (Situation, Complication, Resolution). Draft 5 executive-level 'Action Titles' for a pitch deck that would convince a skeptical CFO to approve a $1M budget."
The "Agentic Pricing" Sniper
"Run a 'Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity' simulation for [Product]. Search for real-time competitor price changes in the last 7 days. Recommend an 'Anchor Price' and two 'Upsell Tiers' that maximize LTV without increasing churn."
The "Trend-Arbitrage" Oracle
"Cross-reference rising search queries on Threads with stagnant industries on LinkedIn. Identify a 'Micro-Trend' that will go mainstream in 60 days. Draft a content calendar to capture 'First-Mover' SEO authority for this trend."
The "Vulnerability" Red Team
"Act as a cynical Private Equity investor. Shred my current business model: [Paste Model]. Find 3 structural weaknesses that could lead to failure in 2026's high-interest-rate environment. Suggest 3 pivots to 'Anti-fragilize' the business."
The "Cultural Nuance" Localization
"We are expanding to [Region]. Analyze the local 'High-Context' communication styles. Rewrite our hero headline to avoid [Specific Cultural Taboo] and appeal to local values of [Specific Value, e.g., Community/Status]."
The "Long-Context" Sentiment Engine
"I'm uploading 1,000+ Discord/Reddit screenshots from [Community]. Using your 1M context window, identify the 'Vibe Shift.' Are users becoming more cynical? What is the #1 feature request everyone is literally begging for?"
The "B2B Whale" Outbound Script
"Research [Prospect Company]’s latest quarterly earnings call. Find a specific quote from the CEO regarding [Specific Challenge]. Draft a 'warm' outbound email that links our solution directly to that quote. Tone: Peer-to-peer, zero fluff."
The "Objection Inoculation" Funnel
"Analyze our top 10 'Lost Lead' reasons. Draft a 5-part email sequence using 'Inoculation Theory' addressing the objection before the lead even thinks of it. Make the competitor's main strength look like a hidden weakness."
The "PMF" Brutal Reality Check
"Based on these [Product Specs] and [Customer Complaints], give me a brutal 'Product-Market Fit' score. Identify 2 'Bloat Features' we should delete immediately to simplify the 'Time to Value' (TTV) for new users."
The "SEO Entity" Architect
"Don't give me keywords. Build a 'Topic Cluster' map for [Industry]. Identify the 'Entity' relationships Google's AI Overviews (GEO) look for. Create 5 'Answer Blocks' (50 words) optimized for AI citation."
The "Viral Hook" Laboratory
"Analyze the top 20 viral threads in [Niche] this month. Identify the psychological triggers used (Curiosity gap, Authority, FOMO). Generate 10 hook variations for a post about [Topic] using the 'Contradictory Logic' framework."
The "2026 Compliance" Pre-Check
"Scan this ad campaign. Check it against the latest 2026 AI Disclosure Acts. Flag any claims that might trigger a platform ban or legal audit. Suggest 'Compliant-but-High-Converting' alternatives."
The "Exit Strategy" Vision
"Based on current M&A trends in [Industry], who are the top 3 likely acquirers for my company in 5 years? What specific metrics (EBITDA, User Growth, IP) do I need to hit to trigger a 10x exit? Give me a roadmap."
