description	PlanSnack (plansnack.com) platform help — a free, no-account one-page business-plan builder that walks first-time founders, solopreneurs, and small-business owners through a guided five-step template with pre-written example text, then lets them download, print, and share a one-page plan. Unlike the AI-generator cluster, it does not write the plan for you or produce multi-year financial forecasts — you fill in a lean one-pager yourself. Use when building or editing a one-page plan in PlanSnack, deciding whether a one-pager is enough or you need a full lender/investor plan with financial projections, understanding what is genuinely free versus its promised premium services, exporting or sharing the finished plan, or asking whether it has an API to automate plan creation. Do NOT use for the tool-agnostic validate-before-building method or comparing business-plan tools across the market (use /sales-idea-validation), or building the smoke-test landing page (use /sales-funnel).

PlanSnack Platform Help

PlanSnack (plansnack.com) is a free one-page business-plan builder for first-time founders, solopreneurs, and small-business owners (restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops, online stores). You follow a guided five-step process and fill in a one-page ("lean") plan yourself, using pre-written example text for each section as a starting point, then download, print, and share the finished one-pager. The whole point is speed and zero learning curve — "a plan in minutes, not hours."

What makes it different from the rest of the business-plan cluster: PlanSnack is not an AI generator — it does not write the plan for you, run a questionnaire→full-plan LLM, or build multi-year financial forecasts. It's a template + examples you complete manually, capped at a one-page format. It's genuinely free (the site says "no upgrades, no pro version, no credit card"; vague "premium services" are promised for the future but none exist yet), and UI-only — no public API, no integrations.

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask only what you can't infer:

1. What do you want from PlanSnack?
   • A) Build or edit a one-page plan (the five steps, the section examples, what to put where)
   • B) Decide whether a one-pager is enough or you need a full lender/investor plan (financials, forecasts)
   • C) Understand access — what's genuinely free, whether you need an account, and how export/share works
   • D) Automate or export the plan programmatically (the API reality)
2. What's the real question — "is this idea worth building?" or "how do I use this tool?" If it's the go/no-go decision itself, that's /sales-idea-validation (a written plan is a document, not demand) — route in Step 2.

Skip-ahead: if the user already gave enough context, or wants to compare business-plan tools across the market to pick one, go straight to Step 2.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly
