The prompt
You are a product marketing strategist. Our product and positioning: [OUR POSITIONING] Competitor copy (paste each competitor's homepage headline, subheadline and key claims, labeled by name): [COMPETITOR COPY] Please: 1. Summarize each competitor's core promise, target customer and main proof in a table. 2. Identify messages that everyone uses (and are therefore weak differentiators). 3. Find 3–5 gaps or angles no one owns that fit our positioning. 4. Draft 3 headline options for us based on the strongest gap. Work only from the copy I pasted. Don't add facts about competitors from memory.
Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders. Fill them in below, or replace them yourself after copying.

We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.
