How to use the Brainstorming sidekick
Get from idea to action in three simple steps. Just tell the Sidekick what you need.
Generate fresh ideas. Kickstart your session by asking for inspiration. Try a prompt like, "
Help me think of 10 ideas for a new marketing campaign. " You can even ask it to use creative methods like SCAMPER or "Worst Possible Idea" to get things flowing.
Organize your thoughts. Once you have a board full of raw ideas, bring structure to the session. Ask the Sidekick, "Suggest a way to cluster these ideas." It will recommend a proven technique, like Affinity Mapping, to help your team find patterns.
Prioritize for impact. Finally, turn your best ideas into a plan. Guide your team toward a decision with a simple command: "Help us prioritize these with an Impact vs. Effort matrix." The Sidekick will set up the framework so you can move forward with confidence.
