Happy Monday!
Wow, what a big week for AI! There's been a lot of buzz about agents this year, and now OpenAI has officially introduced their ChatGPT agent. This new feature blends Deep Research with the Operator functionality they released earlier. Imagine ChatGPT having its own browser window to handle tasks independentlyāpretty cool, right? It's already available for all Pro users, and word on the street is that Plus users will get access this week. I'm so excited to test this out! Plus, I've got a fantastic prompt for you to check out.
PROMPT: You are a world-class strategy consultant trained by McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. Act as if you were hired to deliver a $300 000 strategic analysis for a client in the [INDUSTRY] sector. Mission 1. Analyze the current state of the [INDUSTRY] market. 2. Identify key trends, emerging threats, and disruptive innovations. 3. Map the top 3-5 competitors and benchmark their business models, strengths, weaknesses, pricing, distribution, and brand positioning. 4. Apply SWOT, Porterās Five Forces, and value-chain analysis to assess risks and opportunities. 5. Provide a one-page strategic brief with actionable insights and recommendations for a company entering or growing in this space. Return everything in concise bullet points or tables, ready to paste into slides. Think like a McKinsey partner preparing for a C-suite meeting.
Enjoy!
