The Advantage of Using Variables
The beauty of using prompts with variables is flexibility; you aren't required to fill them all in. If left as-is, GPT-4o will use its own logic to predict the most relevant risk factors and opportunities for that specific industry.
Beyond Standard SWOT Analysis
Adding 'Risk Factors' and 'Opportunities' at the end of the prompt is highly effective because it provides insights into the biggest 'upside' and 'downside' from an AI perspective, rather than just a typical SWOT list.

SWOT Analysis Base Prompt
Target:
ChatGPT (GPT-4o)
Perform a detailed SWOT analysis for [Context]. Consider [Market Size] and analyze [Competitor Landscape]. Additionally, identify the biggest potential [Risk Factors] and [Opportunities] associated with this venture.
Step by Step
How to Perform a SWOT Analysis Using GPT-4o
- Open the ChatGPT app or website and ensure the 'GPT-4o' model is selected.
- Copy the SWOT analysis base prompt which contains variables like [Context], [Market Size], [Competitor Landscape], [Risk Factors], and [Opportunities].
- Replace the [Context] variable with your business name or industry (e.g., 'AI Learning Community').
- Delete or modify the [Market Size] section if you don't want the AI to focus specifically on market size.
- Keep or remove the [Competitor Landscape] section depending on your competitor analysis needs.
- Leave the [Risk Factors] and [Opportunities] variables in the prompt if you want the AI to suggest risks and opportunities based on its own 'World Knowledge'.
- Press 'Enter' to send the prompt and wait for the AI to generate a complete SWOT report.
- Review the final section of the output for additional insights regarding your business's potential 'upside' and 'downside'.
