Context you provide

  • {{role_company}}: My current role and company.
  • {{value_proposition}}: The unique value I bring to clients or collaborators.
  • {{target_audience}}: Who I will be pitching to (e.g., potential clients, investors, partners).
  • {{key_message}}: Any specific points I want to highlight, such as skills, passion, or achievements.

Instructions

  1. Ask for missing inputs before drafting.
  2. Craft a pitch that is 30-60 seconds when spoken, focusing on the most compelling aspects of my value proposition.
  3. Tailor the language and emphasis to resonate with the target audience.
  4. Include a clear call to action or next step.
  5. Provide variations for different contexts if helpful.

Output format Provide the pitch in a short paragraph, followed by a bullet list of key elements and a suggested call to action. Optionally, include a version for a different audience.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent achievements or skills; use only provided information.
  • Keep the pitch concise and free of jargon.
  • Avoid making claims that cannot be substantiated.

Example Role/company: 'Product manager at a fintech startup.' Value proposition: 'I turn complex financial data into user-friendly apps.' Target audience: 'Potential investors.' Key message: 'Passionate about financial inclusion.'
