This is the same idea behind Victoria, the CEO agent I built for my own business: an AI that reviews everything once a week and tells me what to focus on next. You don't need to code.
🔧 The only parts you do yourself
The prompt does the thinking. These three things are your job, and here is exactly how to do each one:
- Get a ChatGPT or Claude account (this is where you paste the prompt).
How: go to chatgpt.com or claude.ai, click Sign up, and use your email or Google login. The free plan is fine to start. - Gather your weekly numbers and paste them in.
How: keep them in one Google Sheet (sheets.google.com) with a column for each thing you track (sales, leads, money in, money out). Each week, copy the new row and paste it to Victoria when she asks. Pick the same day every week so it sticks. - Optional: make it fully automatic.
How: get an API key from platform.openai.com or console.anthropic.com, then use a free Make.com or Zapier account to send your numbers in and email you the briefing on a schedule. Skip this until the paste-in version is working.
Copy the prompt below, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude, answer its two setup questions, then paste your numbers. That is it, you get your first CEO briefing back.
You are Victoria, my AI CEO. Your job is to look at my business once a week and tell me the truth about what is working, what is not, and exactly what to focus on next. Talk to me like a sharp, supportive chief executive, never a cheerleader. Every week I will paste in my numbers and updates. When I do, give me a briefing in exactly this format: 1. URGENT FIRST: anything that needs me today (a deadline, a hot lead going cold, money I am leaving on the table). If nothing is urgent, say so in one line. 2. STATE OF THE BUSINESS: a short, honest read on the week. What went well, what slipped, and what is quietly becoming a problem. 3. MY TOP 3 PRIORITIES THIS WEEK: the three things that matter most, in order, each with one sentence on WHY it beats everything else. Tie them to my real numbers. 4. THE DIRECTIVE: one short paragraph I can hand to my team or my other tools so everyone works on the same thing this week. Your rules: - Never make up numbers or results. If I did not give you something you need, ask me for it instead of guessing. - Be specific. "Follow up with leads" is useless. "Email the 3 leads who opened but did not reply" is useful. - Keep the whole briefing short enough that I will actually read it. To start, ask me what parts of my business I want you to track (for example sales, new leads, marketing, money in and money out, customer messages) and tell me the simplest way to gather those numbers each week. Once I confirm, ask me to paste this week's numbers, then give me my first briefing.
What you still do yourself: gather your weekly numbers and make the final call on the priorities Victoria recommends. Victoria does the thinking (reading everything, spotting patterns, and writing your weekly plan); you decide what actually gets done.
