AI prompt generator for consultants Use AI tools like ChatGPT with a consultant framework

This AI prompt generator for consultants turns what you know about a client engagement into structured instructions you can paste into tools like ChatGPT or Claude. It’s built for strategy, operations, digital and finance consultants and for teams that prepare diagnoses and recommendations. Founderz built it, the team behind the Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation.

How a consultant works with the AI prompt generator for consultants

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 (diagnosis, work plan, interview synthesis, committee deck, market analysis or workshop) or describe the engagement: type of client, what they want to solve, the evidence you have and who decides. Then choose the deliverable under “What do you need to prepare?”; on Auto, the generator works it out from your text.
2. Frame the engagement. The phase (proposal, diagnosis, solution design, pilot, implementation or close) and the decision to support. Under the advanced settings you set the area: strategy, operations, digital transformation, sales and marketing, people, finance, sustainability or public sector.
3. Choose the audience and format. Who it is for (CEO or sponsor, leadership committee, client team, operating team, investors or a workshop) and the format: slides, tables, executive memo, one page or email. 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 (recommend, only organize or challenge you as a reviewing partner) and the level of detail. Under the advanced settings, the evidence you will attach, extra checks such as validating hypotheses or anonymizing the client, the response language and any limits.
5. Generate and copy your prompt. Click “Generate prompt”, enter your email to see the whole prompt and copy it.

Nine deliverables. The “What do you need to prepare?” selector covers nine engagement types: diagnosis, work plan, interview synthesis, recommendation, committee deck, market analysis, prioritization, workshop and client proposal. Each one follows a framework a strategy consulting team would recognize (MECE issue tree, pyramid principle, Porter’s five forces, impact and feasibility matrix), which helps you accelerate the first draft.

“Decision to support” tells the assistant what the deliverable is for (define the problem, agree priorities, choose between options, allocate resources, align owners or get approval), so the work is organized around that decision.

Example: a client diagnosis in ChatGPT or Claude

With the generator’s “Diagnosis” example (a fashion retail chain with 40 stores that has lost 3 points of margin in a year), the prompt starts like this. It’s an excerpt: the button copies the full prompt.

ROLE
Act as a senior strategy and management consultant with experience in diagnoses, work plans and recommendations for leadership committees. You work hypothesis-first and from evidence: you structure problems in a MECE way (no overlaps and no gaps), you keep facts, hypotheses and recommendations apart and you never fill gaps with invented data. You run hypothesis-driven diagnoses: MECE issue trees, triangulation of sources and root cause analysis.

GOAL
Produce a diagnosis that explains the causes of the client's problem with the evidence available and says what is missing to confirm them.

CONTEXT
Context provided by the user (treat it as your main source):
"""
A fashion retail chain with 40 stores has lost 3 points of margin in a year. I have 12 interviews with store managers and aggregated sales by region. Store managers blame head office promotions; leadership thinks the problem is the product mix. The leadership committee wants a diagnosis in three weeks.
"""

...

OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver: 1) diagnostic question; 2) cause tree as an indented list; 3) hypothesis table with the columns Hypothesis, Evidence for, Evidence against, Status, Pending analysis; 4) main causes and their impact; 5) implications for the client.

...

The full prompt adds how to cite the interviews, the constraints (no invented figures or sources), six working steps (symptom against problem, cause tree, testing each hypothesis, main causes and validation) and a final check before answering.

The result: the assistant treats what store managers say as hypotheses to cross-check against regional sales, not as the proven cause of the margin drop.

Use cases: where AI fits in each consulting framework

• Proposal or scoping A client proposal or a work plan with scope, first hypotheses and the data to request, built around client needs and pain points.
• Diagnosis Summarize interviews, draft interview guides and turn notes into a structured analysis of hypotheses and missing data.
• Research and analysis Market research or a competitive analysis with Porter’s five forces, comparable entry options, sources and dates.
• Recommendation An impact and feasibility prioritization or a business strategy recommendation with weighted criteria, risks, dependencies and who should decide.
• Leadership An executive summary or a presentation with evidence for the C-suite, the sponsor or the committee, plus a roadmap of next steps.
• Implementation A workshop and facilitation guide, or a low-risk pilot before you scale.

What makes a good template for a business consultant: LLMs need context

Good instructions give the assistant what an engagement partner would give a new analyst: a role, a specific task, the client context, the input it can use, the constraints (what it must not invent) and the format. Leave any of the six out and AI models fill the gap with assumptions, so you get a generic recommendation. Using AI to create a first draft is fast; highly structured, specialized AI instructions give you higher-quality work, and writing them is now part of the job.

The generator asks for each piece in order and adds quality controls, so you end up with reusable, high-impact, actionable prompts for client work instead of one-off chats. Many consultants keep the versions that work as their own library.

Why I built these generators

Frequently asked questions

Is the generator 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 client data you should use the version your firm has approved.

Does it work with ChatGPT and Claude and other top AI tools?

Yes, and with any text assistant, including Gemini and Copilot. The “Where will you use it?” field adapts the output to PowerPoint or Google Slides, Excel or Google Sheets, Perplexity or web search, NotebookLM with your sources, Miro or Mural and Notion or Confluence.

Can I get the result 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 my client details?

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 result, and usage statistics record configuration choices, never your brief or the generated text.

Can it replace the consultant’s judgment?

No. It helps you structure interviews, data and hypotheses within a clear framework, and it tells the assistant to separate facts from recommendations and say who should decide. Validating the diagnosis with the client and signing off the recommendation stays with you.
