Build a mini executive team of AI agents for your small business: AI agent prompt
Set up separate AI assistants that act as your chief of staff, CFO and marketing lead, each with its own instructions, and have them plan things like a sale together. A skincare founder built this team, saved 7 to 10 hours a week on admin, and hit the revenue target for a back-to-school sale the agents helped plan.
Business StrategyAI leadership teambeginnerThe prompt
Act as my small executive team for [business name], which sells [products] to [customers]. Play three roles and label each answer: CHIEF OF STAFF (keeps my priorities and deadlines straight), CFO (pricing, margins, cash), and CMO (offers, ads and email copy). Here is my situation: [current sales, costs, upcoming event or sale, goals]. Task: plan [e.g. a two-week back-to-school sale with a $X revenue target]. The CFO sets the discount and checks the margin still works, the CMO writes the offer, two ad versions and one email, and the chief of staff turns it into a dated checklist for me. Finish with the three decisions I need to make today. Use only my numbers and say when you're estimating.

Before you use it: what to check
Check yourself
- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings.
- Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
