Fuck it.

I'm sharing the 10 Gemini prompts that built my entire SaaS from scratch.

These prompts literally replaced my CTO, lead dev, and product manager.

Comment 'send' and I'll DM you the complete Gemini guide to master it:
1. Validate your SaaS idea

Most ideas fail because they solve the wrong problem.

Prompt:

“You are a startup strategist.
Validate this SaaS idea by identifying the core problem, target audience, urgency level, and willingness to pay.”
→ [Insert your idea]
2. Define your ideal customer

You need to know who you’re building for - not just what.

Prompt:

“Create 3 ideal customer profiles (ICPs) for this SaaS product.
Include job title, industry, daily pain points, and buying behavior.”
3. Analyze the competition

Before you build - know what already exists and where you can win.

Prompt:

“Compare [Your SaaS] with [Competitor A] and [Competitor B].
List strengths, weaknesses, pricing, and positioning. Suggest one unique differentiator.”
4. Generate a clear value proposition

Confused pitch = no traction.

Prompt:

“Write a clear, one-sentence value proposition for this SaaS product.
Use the formula: [What it does], [Who it’s for], [What outcome it drives].
Then rewrite it 3 more ways with different tones.”
5. Plan your MVP features

Don’t overbuild. Ship fast. Learn faster.

Prompt:

“List every possible feature for this product.
Then prioritize using MoSCoW: Must-have, Should-have, Could-have, Won’t-have.”
6. Write your SaaS pitch deck outline

Need a deck to raise, pitch, or align your team?

Prompt:

“Act as a SaaS founder. Create a 10-slide pitch deck outline for [product name]. Include what goes in each slide: Problem, Solution, Market, Product, Traction, Team, etc.”
7. Map your go-to-market (GTM) strategy

It’s not just what you build - it’s how you distribute it.

Prompt:

“Act as a B2B SaaS GTM strategist.
Outline a go-to-market plan with:
→ Launch channels
→ Ideal content formats
→ Early user acquisition tactics
→ First 3 months growth goals”
8. Write your homepage copy

Your homepage is your 24/7 sales rep.

Prompt:

“Write homepage copy for a SaaS that helps [audience] solve [problem].
Include a headline, subheadline, feature bullets, CTA, and objection-handling section.”
9. Forecast your growth & revenue

Investors love clarity. AI helps you model scenarios.

Prompt:

“Forecast user growth and MRR for this SaaS product over 12 months.
Assume $X price, Y% churn, and Z new users/month.
Include a basic growth table.” Image
10. Create a 30-day founder action plan

Planning is good. Execution is better.

Prompt:

“You are my SaaS cofounder.
Give me a 30-day action plan to go from idea to MVP launch.
Include weekly goals, tools to use, and time estimates for each task.”
You don’t need to wait for the “perfect time” to start your SaaS.

Gemini can now:

→ Think like a strategist
→ Write like a founder
→ Plan like a PM
→ Pitch like a pro

You just need a clear idea + the right prompts.

99% of the AI agent tutorials on YouTube are garbage.

I’ve built 47 agents with n8n and Claude.

Here are the 3 prompts that actually work (and make agent-building simple).

Bonus: comment "Agent: and I’ll DM you AI agent system prompt + full guide ↓ Image
PROMPT 1: The Blueprint Maker

"I want to build an AI agent that [your specific goal]. Using N8N as the workflow engine and Claude as the AI brain, give me:

- Exact workflow structure
- Required nodes and connections
- API endpoints I'll need
- Data flow between each step
- Potential failure points and how to handle them

Be specific. No generic advice."
This prompt forces Claude to think like an engineer, not a content creator. You get actionable steps, not theory.

I use this for every new agent idea. Takes 2 minutes, saves 2 weeks of trial and error.

If you’re building with AI, skip the $500 fine-tuning course.

Learn RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) because it’s faster, cheaper, and way more scalable.

Here’s the concept that powers real-world LLM systems:
Fine-tuning = adjusting a model’s weights on your custom dataset.

It’s useful when:

• You have a large, domain-specific dataset
• You want the model to “speak your language”
• You need task-specific behavior baked in

But it’s not always the best option. Image
RAG = connecting the model to an external knowledge base, and having it retrieve relevant info before generating an answer.

It’s like giving the model a library card instead of rewriting its memory. Image

RIP Copywriters.

You don’t need to pay $10K for a landing page.

GPT now writes high-converting copy for:

→ Paid ads
→ Landing pages
→ Headlines & hooks
→ CTAs
→ Full funnel sequences

Here’s how to replace your copy team with 1 mega prompt:
I tested this prompt with GPT-4 on a real product launch.

The output?

A full landing page + 3 Facebook ads + email drip
in my brand voice and optimized for conversions.

Here’s how I did it:
Prompt I used:

(Steal it)

1. Full Funnel Copy System (Landing + Ads + Emails)


You are a world-class direct response copywriter trained in high-converting frameworks like AIDA, PAS, and 4Ps. Write conversion-optimized copy for a [product_type] targeting [target_audience]. Match the brand’s tone and speak directly to the emotional triggers of the customer. Assume this is a cold audience.



[e.g. AI course for solopreneurs]
[e.g. freelancers, creators, or bootstrapped SaaS founders]
[e.g. confident, smart, casual, anti-hype]
[e.g. Build and sell AI products without code]
[e.g. 10 modules, templates, private community, no-code tools]



Write the following assets, tailored for cold traffic:

1. Landing Page Copy
- Headline + subheadline
- Hero section (benefits over features)
- 3-part value stack
- Social proof (quotes, imagined testimonials)
- Objection busters (with emotional triggers)
- Final CTA section with urgency

2. Facebook Ad Variants (x3)
- Hook → Problem → Solution → CTA
- 1 visual concept idea for each

3. Email Drip Sequence (x3)
- Welcome email (build curiosity)
- Value email (teach + preview product)
- CTA email (urgency + conversion)

Use persuasive copy principles, emotional hooks, and concise formatting. Write everything in a clean, skimmable style. Avoid fluff.

Prompting is a skill.

Learn it, and any model becomes 10x more powerful.

Here are 5 techniques to instantly upgrade your AI outputs:
TECHNIQUE 1: Persona Assignment

Give your AI a specific role and identity. This creates focused expertise and consistent tone throughout the conversation.

❌ Without: "Write about marketing"

✅ With: "You are a senior marketing strategist at a Fortune 500 company with 15 years of experience. Analyze emerging social media trends and their impact on brand engagement for luxury fashion brands targeting Gen-Z consumers."
TECHNIQUE 2: Chain of Thought Prompting

Ask AI to show its reasoning step-by-step. This dramatically improves accuracy and helps you understand the logic behind responses.

❌ Without: "Solve this business problem: Our SaaS churn rate increased 40% last quarter"

✅ With: "Think through this step-by-step: 1) Identify the core issue 2) Analyze contributing factors 3) Generate 3 solutions 4) Evaluate pros/cons 5) Recommend the best approach. Problem: Our SaaS churn rate increased 40% last quarter."

Don’t use ChatGPT and Perplexity for research.

I tested Grok 4 and its on a whole different level.

Here are 5 powerful ways to use Grok 4 for research: Image
1. Investment & Startup Research

Want to invest in a startup or analyze potential unicorns? Use DeepSearch to uncover financial health, investor trends, and market positioning.

Try this prompt:

"Analyze the startup landscape in [industry]. Identify promising startups, their funding rounds, valuation trends, and investor interest. Provide actionable insights."
2. Business Research Task

Before launching a product, understanding your competition is crucial. Grok can analyze business models, pricing, and key differentiators.

Try this prompt:

"Analyze the top 5 competitors in [industry]. Focus on their pricing, revenue models, strengths, and weaknesses. Provide insights on how a new business can compete effectively."

n8n is so powerful.

You can use any LLM like ChatGPT or Grok to build powerful AI agents with no code.

Just give the model 1 mega prompt, and it will:

- Design architecture
- Manage triggers, APIs, logic, outputs
- Guide build process

Here’s the exact prompt I use: Image
The system:

1. I open ChatGPT
2. Paste in 1 mega prompt
3. Describe what I want the agent to do
4. GPT returns:

• Architecture
• n8n nodes
• Triggers
• LLM integration
• Error handling
• Code snippets

5. I follow the steps in n8n.

Done.
Here’s the actual mega prompt (steal it):


You are a senior automation architect and expert in building complex AI-powered agents inside n8n. You deeply understand workflows, triggers, external APIs, GPT integrations, custom JavaScript functions, and error handling.



Guide me step-by-step to build an AI-powered agent in n8n. The agent’s purpose is: {$AGENT_PURPOSE}



1. Start by helping me scope the agent’s goals and required inputs/outputs.
2. Design the high-level architecture of the agent workflow.
3. Recommend the necessary n8n nodes (built-in, HTTP, function, OpenAI, etc).
4. For each node, explain its configuration and purpose.
5. Provide guidance for any custom code (JavaScript functions, expressions, etc).
6. Help me set up retry logic, error handling, and fallback steps.
7. Show me how to store and reuse data across executions (e.g. with Memory, Databases, or Google Sheets).
8. If the agent needs external APIs or tools, walk me through connecting and authenticating them.



Be extremely clear and hands-on, like you're mentoring a junior automation engineer. Provide visual explanations where possible (e.g. bullet points, flow-like formatting), and always give copy-paste-ready node settings or code snippets.



End by suggesting ways to make the agent more powerful, like chaining workflows, adding webhooks, or connecting to vector databases, CRMs, or Slack.
