Using the AI Chat

The Distancer AI chat is where your business ideas take shape. This guide covers how to use it effectively.

Starting a Session

From your dashboard, open the AI Chat. You’ll start with a blank conversation where you can describe anything — your skills, interests, goals, or a specific business idea.

What to Say

Be as specific or as vague as you like. The AI will ask clarifying questions to fill in the gaps. Some effective starting points:

  • Describe a skill: “I’m a professional photographer with 10 years of experience”
  • Share an interest: “I love baking and want to turn it into a business”
  • State a goal: “I want to create passive income from my expertise in project management”
  • Be direct: “I want to sell handmade jewelry online and also offer jewelry-making classes”

What the AI Does

Distancer AI analyzes your input and:

  1. Asks follow-up questions about your target audience, available time, and business goals
  2. Proposes specific business ideas that can be built on the platform
  3. Explains what each idea would look like in practice (pricing models, operations, customer flow)
  4. Suggests combinations of ideas (multiple Business Branches) for diversified revenue

Guiding the Conversation

This is a collaborative dialog, not a one-way generation. You can:

  • Accept suggestions — “Yes, I like the online classes idea. Let’s include that.”
  • Reject suggestions — “I don’t want to do in-person services, just online.”
  • Refine details — “Focus more on beginner-level content, not advanced.”
  • Pivot entirely — “Actually, let’s forget classes and focus on a product store.”
  • Ask for more options — “What else could I do with my photography skills?”

The AI adjusts its recommendations in real time based on your responses.

From Chat to Business Project

As you approve ideas, the AI assembles them into a Business Project. Each approved idea becomes a Business Branch — a self-contained unit within your project.

When the brainstorming session concludes, your Business Project is generated and placed in the Sandbox for review.

Tips for Better Results

  • Provide context about your audience. “My Instagram followers are mostly women aged 25–40 interested in fitness” helps the AI make more targeted suggestions.
  • Mention constraints. “I can only work evenings and weekends” or “I don’t want to ship physical products” narrows the options appropriately.
  • Don’t filter yourself. The AI works best when you share openly. It doesn’t judge — it finds practical applications for whatever you bring.
  • Run multiple sessions. You can brainstorm as many times as you want. Each session can build on the previous one or start fresh.
