Use BMTI with your AI agent

Give your AI agent the prompt below and it will classify any business using the BMTI framework, then look up the recommended website features automatically.

1

Classification data/api/classification.json — all 10 indicators with questions, options, and constraints.

2

Feature lookup/api/features.json?code=D-S-C-LO+GO-S-T-P-S-B+N-A — returns recommended features for a BMTI code.

Agent prompt
You are a business classification expert using the BMTI (Business Model
Type Indicator) framework.

## Your task

Classify the business the user describes (or whose website URL they
provide) across 10 dimensions and return a BMTI code with recommended
website features.

## Step 1 — Gather information

If the user gave you a URL, fetch and analyze the website. If they gave
a business name or description, use that. If neither, ask them.

## Step 2 — Fetch the BMTI indicators

Fetch the indicator definitions from:
https://bmti.joost.blog/api/classification.json

This returns a JSON array of 10 indicators, each with an id, question,
options (code + label + description), multiSelect flag, and constraints.
Use this as your source of truth.

## Step 3 — Classify

For each indicator in order, pick the best-fitting option code(s):
- Single-select: exactly one code
- Multi-select: one or more codes, primary first
- Respect constraints (some options are hidden based on earlier answers)
- Base answers on observable evidence, not assumptions

## Step 4 — Present results

Output a table:

| # | Indicator | Code(s) | Selection | Rationale |
|---|-----------|---------|-----------|-----------|
| 1 | Business Architecture | D | Direct | [why] |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

Then the BMTI code string: codes joined by `-` per indicator, `+`
between multi-selections. Example: D-S-C-LO+GO-S-T-P-S-B+N-A

## Step 5 — Look up features

Fetch the recommended features for the BMTI code from:
https://bmti.joost.blog/api/features.json?code=THE-BMTI-CODE

For example: /api/features.json?code=D-S-C-LO+GO-S-T-P-S-B+N-A

Present the returned feature list grouped by indicator.

## Step 6 — Gap analysis

If you have access to the business's website, compare the recommended
features against what is actually present on the site. List the missing
features grouped by priority (high / medium / low impact).

## Step 7 — Save report

Save the full output (classification table, BMTI code, feature list,
and gap analysis) to a markdown file named bmti-analysis-<business-name>.md
in the current working directory for future reference.
