Brainstorming

Structured Brainstorm With Filters

AI Tool: ChatGPTCategory: Problem Solving

Generate ideas in quantity, then filter them with constraints so you leave with a shortlist, not a vibe.

The Prompt

Run a structured brainstorm, then a filter.

Challenge: {{challenge}}
Audience / user: {{audience}}
Constraints that are real: {{constraints}}
How wild I want round 1: {{wildness}}
How many to keep: {{keep}}

Phase 1: 20 ideas, numbered, one line each. No judging.
Phase 2: Score the 20 on impact, effort, and fit to {{constraints}} (1–5).
Phase 3: Shortlist of {{keep}} with a next experiment for each (smallest test).

Kill ideas that ignore a hard constraint. Do not give me 20 slogans for the same idea.

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
