How do I use the "Talk to Your Canvas" feature?
The "Talk to Your Canvas" feature transforms business planning from a solitary task into an interactive dialogue with an AI mentor that understands both your industry and your specific business model. Unlike generic AI tools, our assistant has full context of your Lean Canvas and can provide targeted, actionable advice.
Your AI Mentor's Capabilities
Think of our AI as your personal business strategist, available 24/7 to help refine your business model. It actively monitors your canvas updates and can proactively suggest improvements or point out potential issues. The AI understands the relationships between different canvas blocks and can help ensure your business model remains coherent and compelling.
Starting Meaningful Conversations
Your AI mentor is ready to engage in various types of discussions:
Strategic Questions
Our AI can help you explore deeper strategic considerations, such as "How does my pricing strategy align with my customer segments?" or "What metrics should I track for my specific business model?"
Validation Support
Ask about the assumptions in your canvas: "What are the riskiest parts of my plan?" or "How can I test my value proposition?" The AI will help identify what needs validation and suggest practical testing methods.
Market Insights
Get industry-specific guidance with questions like "What channels work best in my industry?" or "How are similar businesses monetizing their solutions?"
Real-Time Assistance ⚡
One of the most powerful aspects of our AI mentor is its ability to provide immediate feedback as you work. When you update any part of your canvas, the AI:
- • Analyzes the changes in context of your entire business model
- • Suggests refinements to related canvas blocks
- • Identifies potential opportunities or challenges
- • Offers specific examples and case studies relevant to your updates
Pro Tip: After making significant changes to your canvas, ask the AI "What implications does this change have for the rest of my business model?" to get a comprehensive analysis.
Maximizing Your AI Interactions
To get the most value from your AI mentor:
-
1Be SpecificInstead of asking "How can I improve my canvas?", try "How can I better differentiate my value proposition for the enterprise customer segment I've identified?"
-
2Follow UpThe AI remembers your conversation context, so dig deeper with follow-up questions to explore topics thoroughly.
-
3Challenge AssumptionsAsk the AI to play devil's advocate: "What could make this assumption wrong?" or "What am I missing here?"
Beyond Basic Q&A
Your AI mentor can also:
- • Generate new ideas for any block of your canvas
- • Compare different approaches and help you choose the best fit
- • Provide industry-specific benchmarks and best practices
- • Help prepare pitch presentations based on your canvas
- • Suggest ways to test and validate your assumptions
Remember: While the AI provides valuable guidance, it's designed to enhance your decision-making, not replace it. Use its suggestions as informed input for your own strategic thinking.
