Best for
Owners, executives, managers, and employees beginning to use AI seriously

AI gives generic answers when it does not understand the business it is working with. You do not need to give AI your internal strategy or sensitive company information to improve that. Start with what the outside world can already learn about the company.

Before you start

  • Use an AI tool that can search the web, if available.
  • Have your company name and primary website ready.
  • Use only information you are comfortable treating as public.

The exercise

  1. Let AI build the outside view

    Have AI review your website and credible public sources. The goal is not exhaustive research. It is a concise, factual description that stops AI from guessing basic facts about the company.

  2. Separate fact from inference

    Require AI to distinguish what it verified from what it inferred. This is important because public information can be incomplete, old, or misleading.

  3. Correct the profile

    Review the result as the operator. Fix what is wrong, outdated, or poorly stated. Add only information you are comfortable treating as broadly shareable.

  4. Save the approved version

    Save the corrected profile with a date. Reuse it when a new AI conversation needs basic company background.

  5. Stop at the public boundary

    Do not turn this exercise into an internal business blueprint. The free resource explains the business from the outside. Deeper internal context is a different level of work.

Copy this prompt

Paste this into your AI tool
Review my company website and other credible public sources and build a concise company profile that I can reuse as background when working with AI.

Company: [COMPANY NAME]
Website: [WEBSITE]

Include:
- what the company does
- primary customer types
- main products and services
- markets or industries served
- geographic markets and locations
- how the company describes the value it provides
- important industry terminology
- other public facts that would help an AI assistant avoid generic or incorrect assumptions

Separate VERIFIED FACTS from REASONABLE INFERENCES. Flag anything uncertain, contradictory, or potentially outdated.

Do not infer confidential financial information, margins, pricing strategy, personnel matters, strategic priorities, decision rights, proprietary processes, customer-specific secrets, legal matters, or other non-public information.

Keep the final profile concise enough to reuse in future AI work.

Review your result

  • What did AI get wrong?
  • What is outdated?
  • What important public fact did it miss?
  • What wording would better describe the company to someone who does not already understand it?
  • Did anything cross from public description into sensitive internal information?

Operator example

LBM example

A dealer asks AI to prepare a customer meeting. Without context, AI may treat the company like a retail home center. A short public profile can tell AI that the company serves professional contractors, operates multiple yards, provides delivery, and competes on service and availability, without disclosing margins, pricing rules, key-account economics, or internal strategy.

What not to do

Do not include confidential financial data, pricing logic, personnel issues, internal vulnerabilities, proprietary processes, legal matters, or decision-rights detail.

Save the result

Suggested file name: Company Public Profile — Approved [Month Year]. Review it when the website, markets, locations, ownership, or major offerings change.

Ready for the next step?

Most companies are using AI too small.

Employees writing faster emails is not transformation. Real AI leverage happens when capable leaders apply it to pricing, operations, planning, forecasting, execution, and decision-making. That shift produced $650,000 in measurable business value for one executive in eight months. That is the standard we build toward.
