Day 51 / 100 · Thinking with AI · Brainstorming

Go past the obvious.

AI never runs out of ideas. Your job is to steer it past the first, safest list, then choose well.

01

Go wide

Ask for thirty ideas, not five. Volume first.

02

Push past

“Drop the ten most obvious. Give me ten more.”

03

Borrow

“How would an airline, a clinic or a bank solve this?”

04

Converge

Score against your criteria. Pick three to test.

The good ideas are past the obvious ones.
