  • {{market}} — the target market or geographic region.
  • {{industry}} — the industry or sector.
  • {{competitor_name}} — a key competitor to compare against, if any.
  • {{brand_name}} — your brand name, if analyzing sentiment.
  • {{data_sources}} — any specific data sources you want considered (e.g., social media, reviews).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Provide insights on current consumer preferences for the product/service in the given market, including factors influencing purchasing decisions.
  3. Identify emerging trends in the industry and how competitors are adapting.

  5. Evaluate competitor pricing strategies and suggest opportunities for differentiation.

Output format Organize the response with clear headings: "Consumer Preferences", "Industry Trends", "Competitor Analysis", and "Opportunities". Use bullet points for readability. Keep the tone analytical and objective.

Guardrails

  • Do not fabricate data; use general knowledge and clearly state assumptions.
  • Do not provide specific financial advice.
