Overview
Brainstorm is designed for ideation tasks. The agent generates ideas, explores multiple angles, and organizes its thinking into structured outputs — idea lists, pros/cons tables, option matrices, or prioritized recommendations.When to Use
- Exploring new feature ideas or product directions
- Generating content topics, campaign concepts, or naming options
- Thinking through trade-offs before making a decision
- Quick idea generation sessions that don’t need deep research
How It Works
1
Frame the problem
Describe what you’re brainstorming about. Include constraints, goals, and any context the agent should consider.
2
Agent generates ideas
The agent produces a structured set of ideas, often organized by category, feasibility, or priority.
3
Iterate
Ask the agent to expand on specific ideas, combine options, or filter based on new criteria.

Tips
Set constraints to get better ideas
Set constraints to get better ideas
“Brainstorm ideas for a launch campaign — budget under $5K, timeline 2 weeks, target: enterprise CTOs” produces more actionable results than an open-ended ask.

After the initial brainstorm, say “expand on ideas 3 and 7” or “combine the best parts of options A and C.”
