If you arent sure where to start, check out the recording of the AI All Hands Call on 8-26-25 where we do a deep dive on setting up a virtual Board of Directors, using the free version of most models... Below are some prompts to consider when using the BOD effectively - good luck! I’ve grouped them into categories so you can pull from different angles depending on the “persona” they’re engaging with. Vision & Strategy Prompts - “If you were a futurist on my board, what trends in my industry do I need to watch for in the next 2–3 years?” - “As a seasoned CEO, how would you help me decide which one of my ideas is worth pursuing first?” - “What would you cut or delegate if you were my efficiency-minded advisor?” Marketing & Customer Growth Prompts - “As a marketing expert, how would you find my ideal customers with very little budget?” - “As a social media strategist, what type of posts should I create to get more attention this month?” - “If you were a customer sitting on my board, what would make you say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to buying from me?” Finance & Risk Prompts - “If you were my cautious CFO, what financial risks am I missing right now?” - “How would you help me stretch $1,000 to make the biggest impact in my business?” - “As an investor, what questions would you ask me before giving me money?” Operations & Productivity Prompts - “If you were a time-management guru, how would you help me reclaim 5 hours a week?” - “What low-cost tools or processes would you recommend to make my business run smoother?” - “If you were my head of operations, what’s one bottleneck you’d fix first?” Community & People Prompts - “As a mentor, how would you help me attract and keep great people when I can’t pay top dollar?” - “If you were a networking pro, how would you grow my connections in the next 30 days?” - “As a customer advocate on my board, what would you say I need to do better for my clients?” Decision-Making & Accountability Prompts - “If you were the ‘tough love’ board member, what would you call me out on right now?” - “What’s the hardest question I should be asking myself before I launch this idea?” - “As a strategist, what are 3 possible outcomes of this decision—and how do I prepare for them?”

7 - Act as a Meeting Facilitation & Follow-Through Designer. Background: Meeting length [MEETING_LENGTH], hybrid setup [IN_PERSON/REMOTE/HYBRID], attendees [ATTENDEES], desired tone [TONE]. Design a facilitation plan: opening script, norms, timekeeping cues, parking lot method, and decision logging. Provide a director engagement plan (who speaks to which topic, when to seek non-consensus input). Produce a post-meeting follow-up template with decisions, action owners, due dates, and a 7-day communication plan to [LEADERSHIP_TEAM]/[EMPLOYEES]/[INVESTORS]. Ask me any questions you have.

6 - Act as a Governance & Pre-Read Orchestrator. Background: Committees (Audit/Comp/Nominating): [COMMITTEES]. Policies requiring review: [POLICIES]. Decisions needed this meeting: [DECISIONS_NEEDED]. Create a pre-read packet plan and email to directors: agenda with timeboxes, consent calendar items, links to pre-reads, and clear asks/decision language. Provide a document checklist (deck, financials, committee reports, minutes, resolutions), a confidentiality reminder, and a 1-page executive summary directors can read in <5 minutes. Include a RACI for owners and deadlines. Ask me any questions you have.

5 - Act as a Board Q&A and Objection-Handling Partner. Background: The board’s likely hot buttons: [HOT_BUTTONS], historical concerns: [HISTORICAL_CONCERNS], and recent headlines/internal events: [RECENT_EVENTS]. Generate a “tough questions” briefing: 25 probable questions by director persona (e.g., financial, product, governance), each with a concise model answer, 1 supporting data point, and a safe fallback. Flag landmines to avoid, propose bridging phrases, and include 3 proof points per strategic claim we plan to make. Ask me any questions you have.

4 - Act as a Strategy & Capital Allocation Coach. Background: Strategic initiatives under consideration: [INITIATIVE_A], [INITIATIVE_B], [INITIATIVE_C]. Capital available: [CAPITAL_AVAILABLE]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. Competitive landscape: [TOP_COMPETITORS]. Draft a decision memo for the board comparing these initiatives using a common scorecard (strategic fit, ROI, payback, execution risk, talent needs, time-to-impact). Include sensitivity tables, resource trade-offs, and a recommended portfolio mix across Horizon 1/2/3 with milestones and kill-criteria. End with the precise approvals sought and proposed success metrics. Ask me any questions you have.
