What You’ll Learn
This guide will walk you through building your “core context”—the key information about your company that powers a high-quality, investor-ready pitch deck. You’ll learn how to use three flexible input methods: uploading a document, answering a chat-based questionnaire, or writing in free form.
Before You Start
- Sign into your Pitches.ai account.
- Have your company information or business plan ready in advance for the best results.
- Prepare a concise and detailed description of your business (the more context, the better your pitch will be!).
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Access the Core Context Setup
- After logging in, click Create a Brand and input your company’s basic details (name, sector, and a short description).
- Then proceed to create your core context.
Step 2: Choose How You Want to Share Your Core ContextYou’ll see three ways to provide company details. You can use just one or combine them for maximum impact.
Option 1: Chat-based Questionnaire
- Click on Questionnaire.
- Answer a series of guided, chat-style questions about your business.
- Tip: The more thorough your answers, the stronger your pitch deck content will be.
- Think about your company’s mission, your target customer, your key metrics, traction, and vision.
- Take your time! This is your chance to teach Pitches.ai about your business.
Option 2: Upload a File
- Choose “Upload a Document.”
- Select a PDF file with up to 20 pages (ideal for a business plan, executive summary, or previous deck).
- Note: Only PDF uploads are supported, and the file limit ensures we can process your material quickly and accurately.
Option 3: Freeform Entry
- Choose “Write in Freeform.”
- Type (or paste) your ideas, bullet points, or a rough overview of your business. This is great if you don’t have a finished plan or want to brainstorm.
- Be as detailed as possible for the best output.
Step 3: Process Your Context
- Once you’ve entered information via one or more methods, click Process Context.
- Pitches.ai will analyze your input to build out your personalized pitch deck foundation.
Step 4: Return to Main Menu
- After processing, you can click to go back to the previous menu and continue setting up your brand visuals or move forward to pitch generation.
Pro Tips
- Be comprehensive: The quality and clarity of your pitch deck depend on how extensive and detailed your context is.
- Combine methods: For even richer context, consider using both the questionnaire and uploading a supporting file.
- Update as you grow: You can update your core context anytime as your venture evolves.
