I’m doing full market analysis with Grok 4… for free.
Here are the 3 mega-prompts I use to replace Gartner-style insights:
Let me tell you what Gartner 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 Gartner partner preparing for a C-suite meeting.
# TASKS 1. Hook
• Craft a scroll-stopping hook that grabs attention in <20 words.
2. Body Copy

3. CTA
