Know Your Market
Size your real opportunity with TAM, SAM & SOM, and pinpoint exactly who you serve. Fill in the questionnaire below, download your answers, and copy the prompt into Claude to generate your market report as a clean, downloadable PDF.
Market-Sizing Questionnaire
Saves automatically on this deviceAnswer in plain language with rough, honest numbers — estimates are fine. Then export your answers or copy the prompt into Claude to build your TAM · SAM · SOM report.
Your main product or service in a line or two. e.g. "Custom-decorated cakes for weddings and parties."
Describe your typical buyer. e.g. "B2C — brides and parents, mostly women 28–45."
Neighborhood, city, region, nationwide, or online/global. e.g. "Miami-Dade plus ~30-mile delivery."
Rough dollars per sale + frequency. e.g. "~$350 per order; most buy 1–2× a year."
A tighter focus = smaller market but higher win rate. e.g. "Leaning into luxury weddings."
Your current monthly capacity. e.g. "About 12–15 orders a month before I'm maxed out."
Rough current numbers, monthly or annual. e.g. "~8 orders/month, around $34k/year."
Include the "do-it-themselves / do-nothing" option. e.g. "3 local bakers + grocery cakes + DIY."
One concrete target. e.g. "Grow from 8 to 20 orders a month" or "Reach $90k in revenue."
Population, # of target businesses, industry size, average spend. Leave blank to let AI estimate.

Build Your Master Brain
Create one AI-ready document that captures the truth of your business, so every AI tool sounds like you. Answer the focused questionnaire, then run the generator prompt in Claude to produce a polished, downloadable PDF.
Master Brain Questionnaire
Saves automatically on this deviceAnswer in your own natural voice — rough, honest answers are exactly what we need; the AI fills in the polish. Then export your answers or copy the prompt into Claude.
Fill this in first — it gives the AI a baseline before the deeper questions.
e.g. "Maria Lopez, Founder — Sweet Layers Bakery, Miami, FL."
Explain it as if to someone who knows nothing about your industry.
Career pivots, defining moments, what drives you beyond money.
e.g. "Warm, detail-obsessed, joyful, dependable, family-first."
Why your business exists, plus the three values that guide it.
Briefly, the journey from first contact to finished sale.
Who are they? What do they want most?
Platforms, communities, events, associations.
e.g. "Reach $120,000 in revenue" or "Grow to 30 orders a month."
e.g. Style — warm, direct, encouraging. Phrase — "Marketing is an investment, not an expense."
Words, tones, or claims that feel wrong for your brand.
If "only" feels too strong, rephrase it however feels true.

Turn a photo, your voice, and a short script into a branded video of yourself — made with AI in minutes. Fill in the questionnaire below, copy the prompt into Claude for your script and tool directions, then bring it to life with HeyGen and ElevenLabs.
Today's activity
Make your clone: share your story
In one short video, tell the world what you have learned about AI and how it has helped your business grow. Fill in your story, then make your clone two ways.
Tap all that apply.
What you learned through the Branches BE ONE Gen AI program, and what has changed for your business.
A concrete detail makes your clone feel real.
Where your Kie.ai video is set. e.g. my creative studio, my bakery kitchen, my salon. Leave blank and the AI will pick one that fits.
Then make it two ways
Option 1 · HeyGen (free, longer)
A full 45 to 60 second testimonial. Copy the script into Claude, then build your talking avatar using the HeyGen and ElevenLabs steps below.
Option 2 · Kie.ai (Seedance 2.0) (15-second clip)
A punchy 15-second AI video from one photo, set in your workspace and kept true to your likeness. Copy the prompt into Claude, then paste the result into Kie.ai with your photo.
- Open Kie.ai (button above). You will need a Kie.ai account with a little credit.
- Upload your photo as the reference image: plain background, chest up, good light, clear face.
- Paste the Seedance prompt Claude wrote into the prompt box.
- Set aspect ratio to 9:16, duration to 15 seconds, turn Generate Audio on, and resolution to 720p.
- Press Generate, wait a moment, then download your clip.
Cost: a 15-second 720p clip runs about $2 to $3 (Seedance 2.0 bills per second, and audio is included). Kie.ai charges in credits, so the exact total shows on the page before you generate.

Avatar Video Questionnaire
Saves automatically on this deviceAnswer these, then export your answers or copy the prompt into Claude to get your full video script plus the exact HeyGen and ElevenLabs directions. Made a Master Brain in Module 2? Paste it into Claude after for an even more on-brand video.
One line on what you do and who you serve.
The single thing you want them to remember. Keep it to one idea, not five.
Exactly what they should do next. e.g. "Book a free consult" or "Tap the link."
e.g. Instagram Reel, TikTok, LinkedIn, or your website.
e.g. "Warm, confident, upbeat."
30s, 45s, or 60s. Default is 45s.
An offer, a phrase you love, or a claim you can't make.
Make your video — step by step
Create your AI avatar
Made in HeyGen from a single photo.
- Take a photo of yourself — a clear selfie or a full-body shot both work.
- In HeyGen, go to Avatars → Manage Avatars.
- Click New Avatar, then choose Create a virtual character.
- Upload your photo. HeyGen builds your avatar.
Tip: Use a simple, plain background with nothing moving behind you — standing against a blank wall is ideal. Busy or cluttered backgrounds make a weaker avatar.
Clone your voice, then finish your video
Made in ElevenLabs, then brought back into HeyGen.
- In ElevenLabs, open Voices in the left sidebar.
- Click Create New Voice, then choose Instant Voice Clone.
- Record about 2 minutes of your voice as a voice note, upload it, and name it with your name.
- Generate it once to check the clone sounds like you.
- Go to Text to Speech in the left sidebar, paste your script (from the questionnaire above), choose your cloned voice, and generate the speech.
- When it sounds right, download the audio.
- Back in HeyGen, go to Avatars and select your avatar.
- Choose Use in a Video → Add a Script, then upload your audio (or type or record your script there).
- Generate your video.

Campaign Brief
Saves automatically on this deviceYou already built your Master Brain, so AI knows your business. This brief captures only what's specific to this campaign.

One specific result, pick just one. e.g. "Book 10 discovery calls" or "Sell 20 workshop spots."
What you're promoting (product, service, or event), plus the price or terms.
What you can spend in total, and/or per day on ads. Leave blank and the AI will suggest a starter budget you can adjust.

How long it runs. e.g. one week, two weeks, or up to a launch date.
Where it will run. e.g. Instagram, Facebook, your email list, WhatsApp.

The one action you want people to take. e.g. DM you, click a link, book a call, buy, reply.
How people order or pay, plus the link they use. e.g. Square register, Shopify site, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Linktree. Helps the AI build your QR code and show where to read your numbers.
Yes or no, plus how and roughly how many. If not, the AI will show you an easy way to start.
Key dates, must-say details, or things to steer clear of.
