How a business analyst uses the AI prompt generator for business analysts in a BA workflow

Follow these steps to build your prompt. Only the first one is required: anything you skip stays on Auto.

1. Start with the essentials. Pick an example (requirements, current process map, user stories, KPIs, prioritization or business case) or describe the need: who is asking, the problem behind it and the evidence you have. Then choose the deliverable under “What do you need to prepare?”; on Auto, the generator works it out from your text.
2. Describe your analysis. The type of change (new feature, process improvement, recurring issue, new metric, systems integration or regulatory change) and the requirements maturity. Under the advanced settings you set the sector or area and whether the team works in an agile, predictive or hybrid way.
3. Choose the audience and format. Who it is for (business, technical team, product, leadership or end users) and the format: tables, document, one page, slides, email or checklist. Under the advanced settings you choose where you will use it and the tone.
4. Set the working mode and quality. The role of the AI in decisions and the level of detail. Under the advanced settings, the material you will attach, extra checks such as traceability or edge cases, the response language and anything else the AI must respect.
5. Generate and copy your prompt. Click “Generate prompt”, enter your email to see the whole prompt and copy it.

Ten deliverables. The “What do you need to prepare?” selector covers ten business analysis tasks: requirements, stakeholder discovery, current process map (as-is), future process and gap analysis (to-be), user stories, KPIs, data analysis, prioritization, business case and dashboard design. Each one brings its own method (MoSCoW, SIPOC, INVEST, RICE or WSJF) and an output structure with fixed columns.

“Requirements maturity” tells the assistant whether you start from an initial problem or are ready for technical review, so the prompt fits the decision point you’re at.

Example: use ChatGPT to draft business requirements

With the generator’s “Requirements” example (customer service wants a dashboard to see why returns are growing), the prompt starts like this. It’s an excerpt: the button copies the full prompt.

ROLE
Act as a senior business analyst with experience in requirements elicitation, process modeling, data analysis and stakeholder management, following BABOK good practice. You work from evidence: you separate the business need from the solution someone proposes, you tell confirmed facts from assumptions and you never fill gaps with invented data. You master BABOK requirements elicitation and classification: business, stakeholder, solution (functional and non-functional) and transition requirements.

GOAL
Turn the need described into clear, testable and traceable requirements before anyone commits to a solution.

CONTEXT
Context provided by the user (treat it as your main source):
"""
Customer service wants a dashboard to see why returns are growing in the online store. We have exported tickets from the last three months with the return reason in free text. Nobody has defined what an avoidable return is, and logistics and customer service use different categories. The head of customer service wants it before the holiday season.
"""

...

OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver: 1) problem and expected outcome; 2) requirements table with the columns ID, Requirement, Type, Source (context or assumption), MoSCoW priority, Acceptance criterion; 3) business rules table with the columns ID, Rule, Status (agreed or to be confirmed), Who validates it; 4) open questions by stakeholder.

...

The full prompt adds the source material (how to group the tickets), the constraints, seven working steps (need against requested solution, requirements in four groups, business rules, acceptance criteria and MoSCoW) and a final check before answering.

The result: the assistant separates the need (understand returns) from the requested solution (a dashboard) and marks the definition of an avoidable return as [to be confirmed] instead of inventing business rules.

Tips for writing prompts and using AI prompts that work for any stakeholder

Use cases: stakeholder analysis, gap analysis and current and future state of the business process

• Discovery and stakeholder analysis A workshop plan, a stakeholder map and the questions for each stakeholder interview before anyone writes requirements.
• Process analysis and mapping A map of the current state with SIPOC, swimlanes and its bottlenecks, then the future state and the process flow you propose.
• Gap analysis Current and future state side by side, with the gap each change closes.
• Requirements Prompts for requirements with acceptance criteria, or user stories in Given, When, Then format for the technical or product team.
• Data An analysis of aggregated data, KPI cards with formula and source, or a dashboard design.
• Decisions A RICE or WSJF prioritization of initiatives, or a business case for leadership with business impact, risks and dependencies.

What makes a good BA prompt: prompt engineering and structure

A good prompt gives the assistant what a senior business analyst would give a new BA on the team: a role (“act as a business analyst” or “you’re a business analyst”), a specific task, the business context, the material it can use, the constraints (what it must not invent) and the format of the deliverable. Leave any of the six out and the model fills the gap with assumptions, so you get generic requirements. This is practical prompt engineering: the generator asks for each piece in order, adds quality controls and flags what you need to validate with stakeholders and data.

Generative AI can produce a first draft fast; it doesn’t replace your judgment. Most BAs who work as a business analyst with AI use it the same way: AI helps with the draft, the AI generates options, and professional judgment decides. That is how effective prompts work in business process changes.

Why I built these generators

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI prompt generator for business analysts free?

Yes, it’s free. Before it asks for anything, it shows you a preview with the first sections of the prompt. To see the whole prompt and copy it, enter your email and accept the Privacy Policy; receiving communications from Founderz is optional.

It only asks once per visit: any prompts you generate after that are shown in full. You can paste them into the free version of your usual AI assistant, though with company data you should use the version your organization has approved.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Any text assistant, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot. If the output goes into another tool, the “Where will you use it?” field adds a block ready to paste or import into Jira or Azure DevOps, Confluence or Notion, Visio, Lucidchart or Miro, Excel or Google Sheets, Power BI, Tableau or Looker, or SQL and Python.

Can I get the prompt in Spanish or another language?

Yes. The “Response language” field sets the language the assistant answers in. It covers US, UK, Canadian and Australian English, Spanish from Spain and Latin America, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Dutch, plus a bilingual English and Spanish option.

What happens to the details I type?

The generator doesn’t use a language model: it combines your answers with Founderz building blocks in your browser. It only sends your email to Founderz when you ask to see the prompt, and usage statistics record configuration choices, never your brief or the generated prompt.

Can AI write the requirements for me?

AI can generate a first draft, but the prompt tells it not to invent processes, rules or requirements and to mark what still needs validation as [to be confirmed]. Confirming each requirement with the stakeholder and the data stays with the business analyst.
