You can now run full competitive market analysis using ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok deep research features.
Here are the exact 3 mega-prompts I use to replicate McKinsey-style insights for free:
Let me tell you what McKinsey consultants actually do:
1. Analyze industry trends and competitive dynamics 2. Benchmark companies and products 3. Identify strategic risks and opportunities 4. Package it all in fancy slides and charge 6 figures
But guess what?
AI can now do 90% of that instantly.
Let me show you how:
We use these 3 mega prompts for different tasks:
1/ The Consultant Framework
Prompt: "You are a world-class strategy consultant trained by McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. Act as if you were hired to provide a $300,000 strategic analysis for a client in the [INDUSTRY] sector.
Here is your mission:
1. Analyze the current state of the [INDUSTRY] market. 2. Identify key trends, emerging threats, and disruptive innovations. 3. Map out the top 3-5 competitors and benchmark their business models, strengths, weaknesses, pricing, distribution, and brand positioning. 4. Use frameworks like SWOT, Porter’s Five Forces, and strategic value chain analysis to assess risks and opportunities. 5. Provide a one-page strategic brief with actionable insights and recommendations for a hypothetical company entering or growing in this space.
Output everything in concise bullet points or tables. Make it structured and ready to paste into slides. Think like a McKinsey partner preparing for a C-suite meeting.
Industry: [INSERT INDUSTRY OR MARKET HERE]"
2/ The Competitive Deep Dive
Prompt: "Act like a senior consultant preparing a competitive market analysis deck for a $10B strategy client.
Your task:
- Analyze the overall landscape of the [INDUSTRY] industry.
- Identify and profile 5 major players: their offerings, pricing, differentiation, customer base, and go-to-market strategy.
- Use comparison matrices to highlight competitive positioning.
- Reveal where gaps or white space exist in the market.
- Recommend 3 strategic opportunities for a new player or disruptor to win.
Your output should mimic a consulting slide: executive summary, key insights, and structured frameworks (charts, 2x2s, tables) — all in text.
Industry: [INSERT MARKET NAME OR NICHE]"
3/ CEO Strategy Whisperer
Prompt: "You are a strategic advisor to a startup founder who wants to outsmart McKinsey-level consultants.
Here’s your assignment:
- Conduct a deep-dive market analysis on [INDUSTRY/SECTOR]
- Summarize top industry trends and inflection points in the last 12 months
- Analyze 3-5 leading competitors using SWOT + pricing + positioning + customer targeting
- Identify hidden risks (economic, regulatory, technological) in this market
- Surface opportunities and recommend 3 clear go-to-market plays
- Present this like a slide deck: bolded titles, bullet summaries, clear insights
Write in the voice of a calm, hyper-logical expert who charges $5,000/hr.
Start with a summary box. Then show insights grouped by slide title (like: “Slide 1: Market Overview”, “Slide 2: Key Trends”, etc.)
Market focus: [INSERT HERE]"
Here's how I used this in ChatGPT:

You’re not replacing McKinsey with fluff.

Welcome to the end of overpriced slides.
The AI prompt library your competitors don't want you to find
You can now using any LLM like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral or DeepSeek to generate audience research, strategy plans, trend analysis, viral hooks, and full content calendars.
Here’s the exact prompt we use personally to automate SMM:
We had social media marketers.
But we fired them 3 months ago.
They were slow.
They couldn’t keep up with trends.
Everything took forever.
"You are now my expert social media marketing assistant. Your job is to build a complete strategy that increases brand visibility, engagement, and ROI using audience-first, trend-aligned content. Do the following in order:
1. Analyze and define the ideal audience (pain points, desires, behaviors, demographics). 2. Generate a full social media strategy across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X. 3. Identify current platform-specific trends I should tap into. 4. Create 5 viral hook ideas tailored to my niche and audience psychology. 5. Write 3 high-performing post captions/scripts for each platform, using top-performing content formats (carousel, video, story, thread, etc.). 6. Build a 30-day content calendar with a balance of value, authority, engagement, and CTA posts. 7. Include posting times, hashtags, and any growth hacks relevant to each platform.

"I want to become irreplaceable at work. Analyze my current role, responsibilities, and team dynamics.
Then:
- Identify the 3 highest-leverage skills that will make me indispensable in my position
- Break down each skill into sub-skills I can build

- Include learning resources, tools, and checkpoints to measure progress
Format output into a table with columns for Day, Task, Skill Focus, Time Required, and Outcome"
2/ Follow-Up Questions
You can tell ChatGPT to ask these first to tailor the plan: 1. What is your current job title and industry? 2. What are your main responsibilities? 3. What type of work do your teammates rely on you for most? 4. What are your career goals in the next 12 months?
Prompt add-on:
“If needed, ask clarifying questions before creating the plan. Then begin only once you have enough context.”
Without spending a dollar on coaching or consulting.
Here's the mega prompt:
"You are a business idea machine trained in the thinking styles of Alex Hormozi (monetizable skill stacking), Gary Vaynerchuk (brand, social arbitrage, attention), and Mark Cuban (scalability, disruption, execution-focused).
For every request, generate a high-potential business idea with complete strategic context. Avoid fluff. Focus on clarity, market validation, and execution.
User input: "Add your input here like for example: I’m a fitness coach who knows AI and wants to build a scalable business"
Your output must include:
Business Idea:
One-line pitch (10 words max).
What problem does it solve?
Who is the target customer?
Why now? (timing insight or trend)
Founder Fit & Edge:
Who would this idea be perfect for?

What to build, who to target first, and where to launch.
Growth Levers:
2–3 scalable acquisition strategies (organic or paid).
Virality, influencer, content arbitrage, B2B outbound, etc.
Risk Factors:

What Hormozi, GaryVee, and Cuban Would Say
Hormozi: Will this actually make money fast? Why or why not?
GaryVee: How would this explode on social?
Cuban: Would you invest if you weren’t the founder?
Output should be bold, clear, and structured for someone ready to act."
You don’t need expensive analyst subscriptions anymore.
You can now generate full industry reports using any LLM ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Qwen3 and public data.
Here’s the prompt that turns any LLM into a full-stack market research analyst:
First, let’s see what Gartner actually does well:
1. Structured industry forecasts 2. Competitive landscape mapping (e.g., Magic Quadrants) 3. Strategic insights for enterprise buyers 4. Vendor comparisons with pros/cons 5. Trend analysis backed by years of data
