🤖 WORKING WITH GROWTHMENTOR AI

Step-by-Step Process:

STEP 1: Prepare Data for AI

STEP 2: "Smart" Questions for AI

Instead of boring: ❌ "Analyze startup X" ❌ "What are the prospects?"

Use provocative prompts: ✅ "Find the main strategic mistake [company] is making" ✅ "What does [competitor A] do better than [competitor B]?" ✅ "What hidden growth opportunity is [startup] missing?" ✅ "Predict who will win in [category] and why" ✅ "What would you change in [company]'s go-to-market strategy?"

STEP 3: Prompt Templates for AI

For finding insights:

For competitive analysis:

For pattern recognition:

STEP 4: Processing AI Outputs

What to do with AI findings:

  1. Pick the most unexpected - this becomes your hook
  2. Demand specifics - if AI gives generic answers, ask again
  3. Hunt for numbers - percentages, multiples, predictions
  4. Find actionable advice - what can be applied

📝 CREATING VIRAL NOTES FROM AI ANALYSIS

Structure of Viral Note:

1. Hook (first line)

Examples:

  • "🤖 Fed [startup] data to our AI - the insights are wild..."
  • "⚡ AI found a hidden pattern that VCs are missing..."
  • "🔍 Just ran [startup] through our AI - result shocked me..."
  • "🧠 AI analyzed top 3 in [category] - found something unexpected..."

2. Intrigue + Specifics

Template:

3. Cliffhanger

  • "Full breakdown + what this means for founders ⬇️"
  • "Complete AI report in tomorrow's article"
  • "Most interesting part - AI predicted..."

4. CTA to Product

  • "P.S. Want AI analysis of your startup? Test free: infiniti-growth.com"
  • "Run your startup through our AI: app.infiniti-growth.com"
