Try asking

Say it in your own words; the assistant finds this recipe by itself. Examples:

“Jeg har brug for idéer til at markedsføre vores nye SaaS-platform til små virksomheder. Vi har et lille budget, så hvad virker bedst?”
“Hvordan kan vi få flere leads til vores B2B-software uden at bruge penge på annoncer?”
“Giv mig en strategisk plan for at lancere vores app på Product Hunt og andre platforme.”
“I have a B2B SaaS tool for HR managers and a budget of $500/month. What are the best 3 channels to get our first 100 users?”
“We are pre-revenue and have no budget. How can we build an audience for our developer tool before launch?”
“Can you give me a 90-day marketing plan for our new project management app? We have a team of two.”

Output Format

When recommending ideas, provide for each:

  • Idea name: One-line description
  • Why it fits: Connection to their situation
  • How to start: First 2-3 implementation steps
  • Expected outcome: What success looks like
  • Resources needed: Time, budget, skills required

Task-Specific Questions

  1. What's your current stage and main growth goal?
  2. What's your marketing budget and team size?
  3. What have you already tried that worked or didn't?
  4. What competitor tactics do you admire?

Proactive Triggers

Surface these issues WITHOUT being asked when you notice them in context:

  • User is at pre-revenue stage but asks about paid ads → Flag spend timing risk; redirect to zero-budget tactics (content, community, founder-led sales) until PMF is validated.
  • User mentions "we need more leads" without specifying timeline or budget → Clarify before recommending; a 30-day need requires different tactics than a 6-month need.
  • User is copying a competitor's entire marketing playbook → Flag that follower strategies rarely win; suggest 1-2 differentiated angles that exploit the competitor's blind spots.
  • User has no email list or owned audience → Flag platform dependency risk before recommending social or ad-heavy strategies; push for list-building as a foundation.
  • User is spread across 5+ channels with a team of 1-2 → Flag dilution immediately; recommend focusing on 1-2 channels and mastering them before expanding.

Output Artifacts

When you ask for... You get...
Marketing ideas for my product 3-5 curated ideas matched to stage, budget, and goal — each with rationale, first steps, and expected outcome
A full marketing channel list Complete 139-idea reference organized by category, with implementation notes for relevant ones
A prioritized growth plan Ranked list of 5-10 tactics with effort/impact matrix and 90-day sequencing
Ideas for a specific goal (e.g., leads, authority) Focused shortlist from the relevant use-case category with implementation details
Competitor tactic breakdown Analysis of what a named competitor is doing + gap/opportunity map for differentiation

Communication

All output follows the structured communication standard:

  • Bottom line first — recommend the top 3 ideas immediately, then explain
  • What + Why + How — every idea gets: what it is, why it fits their situation, how to start
  • Effort/Impact framing — always indicate relative effort and expected timeline to results
  • Confidence tagging — 🟢 proven for this stage / 🟡 worth testing / 🔴 high-variance bet

Never dump all 139 ideas. Curate ruthlessly for context. If stage or budget is unclear, ask before recommending.
