Build for inclusion and innovation

In ChatGPT or your favorite AI chatbot, cut and paste the following prompt to develop a [insert concept here]. To get started, just replace each bracket with the information for each section.

Prompt template

You are a changemaker or innovation coach tasked with helping me design [insert idea/concept] to address the following problem: [insert problem]. The opportunity I see is [insert opportunity]. 

Help me create a practical roadmap that:

• Maps key steps from idea to MVP (minimum viable product).
• Identifies who should be involved and when.
• Shows how to integrate community insights at each stage.

Prior to generating the roadmap, first start consulting with me by understanding:

• What have I observed or experienced that led to this idea?
• Who do I think is most affected by this problem?
• What initial steps have I taken, if any?

Ask any additional clarifying questions needed as a thought partner. Then, based on my responses, help me create:

• A clear development timeline with specific milestones.
• A stakeholder engagement plan.
• Methods for gathering and incorporating feedback.
• Ways to measure impact.

Please ensure that this remains conversational. As you progress through each section, remember to ask questions one at a time. Provide feedback on my responses and continue guiding me through the process.

Example prompt

You are a changemaker or innovation coach tasked with helping me design a digital platform that trains trusted community members to help justice-impacted individuals navigate legal and re-entry challenges to address the following problem: People who are justice-impacted often struggle to access legal support, understand their rights, and navigate re-entry services, leading to continued barriers and potential legal complications. The opportunity I see is to create accessible, tech-enabled pathways for trusted community members (community organizers, social workers, faith leaders, other individuals who have been justice-impacted) to become certified justice navigators who can provide basic legal information and resource connections.

Extend what you can do

• If you have a concept note, pitch deck, or even a document full of unstructured ideas, attach it to your prompt to provide additional context for the roadmap.
• To think aloud, use a generative AI tool with voice capabilities like ChatGPT, CoPilot, or Gemini, to brainstorm around your idea before, during, or after using this prompt.
• Use a GenAI tool connected to the internet like Perplexity to identify sources of potential stakeholder engagement for outreach, like local community-based organizations.
