💻️ How to use AI to create an interactive SWOT analysis

SWOT analysis means juggling between spreadsheets and presentation tools, making updates which are time consuming and collaborating with your team. Let’s use AI to do the heavy lifting.

• Go to Claude

• First, Prompt for your SWOT analysis

Act as an expert Market Analyst. Create a comprehensive SWOT analysis for [Company Name], a [brief company description] operating in [industry/sector]. Consider the following in your analysis:

- Company background: [Key products/services, market position]
- Current market trends in [industry]
- Main competitors: [List key competitors]
- Target audience: [Describe ideal customers/users]

• Once you have the result, ask Claude to build it for you visually as an interactive component.

Based on the SWOT analysis for [Company Name], create an interactive React component that:

1. Uses a 2x2 grid layout separating the four SWOT categories
2. Implements color coding ([Green] for Strengths, [Blue] for Weaknesses, [Orange] for Opportunities, [Red] for Threats)
3. Makes each category expandable/collapsible
4. Allows users to add new points in each category
5. Places categories according to standard SWOT matrix positioning
6. Incorporate icons or small illustrations to make each category more visually distinct

Done. You will end up with a dynamic SWOT analysis you can keep modifying further for your use case or adding further prompts to review and improve.
