Brainstorm

Generate varied ideas suited to constraints and goals.

When to use it

Use this to generate varied options for a problem and then shortlist feasible ones.

Useful inputs

Problem or goal
Audience
Time, budget, and scope limits

Instruction

Generate distinct ideas, then shortlist by novelty and feasibility with a one-sentence explanation each.

Example input

Goal: Help new members get started with the product. Audience: Small teams. Limit: Ideas testable in two weeks without developer work.

Example result

1. Offer a sample workspace on first visit — low effort and fast feedback.
2. Send a three-step onboarding email — easy to test, requires email permission.
3. Add a progress indicator — measurable benefit, needs design work.

Common pitfall

Do not pad the list with renamed versions of the same idea; make each option meaningfully distinct.
