Before spending money promoting your AI startup, figure out where your potential customers already spend their time. Try this prompt: “Act as a go-to-market strategist for an early-stage AI startup. My product: [describe the product]. Target customers: [describe your ideal customers]. Problem it solves: [describe the problem]. Current stage: [idea/MVP/launched]. Develop a practical distribution strategy. Analyse: 1. Five places or communities where my target customers already gather. 2. Potential businesses or creators I could partner with. 3. Existing software platforms my product could integrate with. 4. Referral opportunities that could encourage customer recommendations. 5. Three ways to reach my first 20 potential customers without relying on paid advertising. For each channel, explain why it could work, how to approach it and what I should measure. Prioritise realistic opportunities for a small startup with limited resources. Avoid generic marketing advice.” Don’t ask AI for a list of random marketing channels. Give it enough information to identify where your actual customers are..
