Push your brainstorm beyond the obvious ideas.
A brainstorm can give you twenty answers that all start from the same assumption. Send several AIs at the question with different perspectives and rules, then collect the ideas that are furthest apart. Use the spread to discover approaches your team might never have put on the table.

How it goes
What the AI will do
- Have several AI agents generate ideas independently, each with a different perspective, a different rule to work within, or both.
- Combine their ideas, remove near-duplicates, and select a set that covers widely different approaches.
- Explain what each selected idea adds and show you the full collection it came from.
What to have ready
- A question, challenge or topic you want ideas about.
- Context about your audience, what you want to achieve, and anything that is off-limits.
Where you come in
- Choose the perspectives or rules you want the AI to explore, or use its suggestions.
- Decide how wide to cast the net and whether you want a visual report.
- Look through the ideas and choose which directions you want to explore further.
What you'll get
Ten distinctly different ideas by default, selected for variety, with a short explanation of the angle each contributes. You also get the full collection of ideas, and an optional visual report showing the selected set alongside each agent's contributions.
