How I Used ChatGPT to Automate My Business Strategy

#ai #productivity #discuss #automation

Most developers use ChatGPT for code generation, but I discovered something far more powerful:

AI can design, optimise, and even automate entire business strategies, not just technical workflows.

When I started building ReThynk AI, publishing books, and managing dev.to, YouTube and other projects, I realised something:

👉 The problem wasn’t coding speed; it was decision fatigue.
AI helped me fix that.

Here’s how I use ChatGPT to automate strategy thinking, not just execution.

1️⃣ Turning Vision Into a Structured Strategic Plan

Instead of starting from scratch, I let AI convert broad vision into a roadmap with milestones, campaigns, and priorities.

💡 Prompt I Use:

You are a business strategy architect. Convert this goal: "Grow ReThynk AI into a global learning ecosystem" into a 6-month roadmap with audience positioning, product pillars, and measurable milestones.

This takes me from idea → mapped strategy in minutes.

2️⃣ Using AI for Competitive & Market Insight (Without Endless Research)

Instead of spending hours on market analysis, I ask AI to simulate competitor mapping and audience behaviour.

💡 Prompt:

Analyse similar AI education brands and identify gaps in positioning, content tone, and audience targeting that ReThynk AI can use as leverage.

AI becomes an instant strategic analyst, not just a chatbot.

3️⃣ Framework Thinking: Designing Launch Systems Instead of One-Off Outputs

When launching books, prompt libraries, or series like this one, I don’t build content randomly; I ask AI to generate sequences, funnels, and touchpoints.

💡 Prompt:

Design a value ladder for an AI developer brand with free content, mid-tier products, and premium mentorship/automation systems.

This builds business architecture, not just individual content pieces.

4️⃣ Turning Strategy into Execution Pipelines

Once the strategic vision is set, I use AI to generate:

Email sequences
Landing page copy
Dev.to article hooks
Automation flows with Zapier / GitHub / Airtable

💡 Prompt:

Convert this product launch strategy into a 7-email nurturing series with authority-driven tone and call-to-action focus.

That means strategy doesn’t stay in Notion; it becomes a live system.

Final Thought

Developers think automation is only about code.
But true leverage comes when you automate strategic thinking itself.

If code automation saves hours, strategy automation creates entire business engines.

This is how I manage books, dev.to growth, AI labs, courses, and branding, not by working faster…
But by letting AI structure the entire game board.
