# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    plan = generate_business_plan(
        idea="A mobile app that helps restaurant owners manage inventory and reduce food waste using AI predictions",

Notes for Agents

• Temperature must be 1 — GPT-5 rejects lower temperature values, causing errors
• max_tokens must be 16000 — GPT-5's reasoning uses many tokens; lower limits result in empty responses
• Response time is typically 30–90 seconds for a full business plan
• Output is markdown-formatted; convert to HTML or PDF as needed downstream
• For iterative refinement, pass the generated plan back in context and ask for section rewrites
