I need creative ideas for: Topic Or Challenge Context: Background Context — Who Is This For, Any Constraints, What Has Already Been Tried Goal: What A Successful Outcome Looks Like Quantity: Number Of Ideas, Default 10 Generate ideas using these approaches: 1. **Direct solutions** — Straightforward ideas that address the challenge head-on 2. **Lateral thinking** — Unexpected angles, analogies from other fields, or "what if" inversions 3. **Combination ideas** — Merge two unrelated concepts to create something novel 4. **Constraint-breaking** — Ideas that challenge assumptions about what is possible or allowed 5. **Scaled versions** — A minimal version and an ambitious "moonshot" version For each idea, provide: - A short, memorable name - One-sentence description - Why it could work (the insight behind it) - First step to test or prototype it After listing all ideas, identify the top 3 most promising and explain why they stand out.
Tips
- Provide specific constraints — paradoxically, more constraints lead to more creative ideas, not fewer
- Include context about what has already been tried so the AI does not suggest obvious approaches you have already rejected
- Ask for a second round that builds on the best ideas from the first round to deepen and refine them
- Use the 'combination ideas' category to force unexpected connections between your field and a completely unrelated domain
- Do not dismiss wild ideas immediately — they often contain a kernel of insight that can be adapted into something practical
