Why your business needs more than generic AI:
- Generic AI can't build accurate, lender-ready, three-statement financial models
- Generic AI hallucinates on market research & financials
- Generic AI cannot assemble the words, numbers, and charts of your plan into a single beautiful document
Plan smarter, not harder - with AI-powered business planning
Import reference files
Start with what you already have, not from scratch
Import your scattered notes, spreadsheets, research, or early drafts into LivePlan.
As you create each section of your plan, LivePlan learns as you go and references your files to provide relevant suggestions and data, helping you turn your existing work into a complete, professional plan.
Help Me Write
Get the right words for every plan section
Stop wasting time staring at a blank page or finessing a prompt with AI that doesn't understand business planning.
LivePlan Assistant generates content for each section of your business plan, understanding how your market analysis should connect to your marketing strategy, and how your financial assumptions should align with the rest of your plan.

Suggested Forecast Categories
Forecast faster than ever
LivePlan Assistant suggests specific revenue streams and expense categories specific to your industry, then helps you build connected forecasts where changes in one area automatically flow through your entire financial model—something impossible with ChatGPT alone.

Know your market. Skip the overwhelm.
Stop spending days on browser tabs or thousands on consultants.
LivePlan generates comprehensive market research specific to your business: market size and opportunity, competitive landscape, customer profiles, and industry benchmarks. Validate your idea and market, impress investors, and plan with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
Generic AI gives you a plan-shaped document — but you can't tell if the numbers add up or if the "facts" are real. LivePlan Assistant is built specifically for business planning: it grounds every suggestion in your actual business and a proven planning framework, so you end up with a plan you can defend, not just one that looks finished.
No. LivePlan Assistant builds on the reference files and details you provide, and its market research pulls from real, citable sources specific to your industry and location. Your forecast is a working three-statement financial model with real accounting logic — change one assumption and it flows through your entire forecast, the way a lender expects.
It works across your whole plan: generate first-draft content for any section with Help Me Write, suggest revenue streams and expense categories for your industry, produce market research customized to your business, polish your writing with Rewrite, and turn your monthly numbers into plain-language insights with Monthly Review. It can also help you build a professional pitch deck with the LivePlan Pitch Deck Creator.
LivePlan Assistant gives you a strong starting point — ideas, structure, and drafts — but you stay in the driver's seat. Reviewing and refining the plan yourself is what makes it genuinely yours, and it's what lets you confidently answer questions from a lender or investor.
Market research draws from dozens of real data sources and professional industry benchmarks, customized to your market and geography — not figures pulled from a single web search. You can review the sources behind the research as you build your plan.
LivePlan Assistant is included with both the Standard and Premium plans, at no extra cost. Some AI features are reserved for specific tiers — for example, Market Research and Monthly Review are available only on the Premium plan.
You'll find it throughout LivePlan: "Help Me Write" and "Rewrite" appear in both the Plan and the Pitch, and "Suggested Forecast Categories" appears in the Forecast. If you don't see it, make sure AI features are turned on in your "Manage Account" settings.
Yes. AI features are on by default, but they're entirely optional — you can opt in or out anytime under "Manage Account" in your account settings. You're always free to build your plan from scratch.
