Free Prompt Pack

AI grows the tree. You prune it.

Five prompts to generate more ideas than you can use, then the one move AI shouldn't do for you. Built on Leslie Grandy's Creative Velocity techniques.

The equation changed

Coming up with ideas used to be the hard part.

For most of history, the bottleneck was generating options. You'd land on a few obvious answers and stall. The good ideas hid deeper in the tree.

AI flipped that. You can get forty options in a minute now, basically for free. So the hard part moved. It's not thinking up ideas anymore, it's deciding which ones are worth it.

AI is great at growing the tree wide.
Pruning to what your customers actually need is the part that's still yours.

What's inside

Five copy-paste prompts

01
Grow the tree wide
Twenty different angles on your problem, before you fall in love with idea #1.
02
Strip the labels
The MacGyver move: break the thing into its generic parts and new combinations show up.
03
Borrow from another world
Analogical thinking. The best ideas often come from a completely unrelated field.
04
Flip it
Inversion: ask how to make it terrible, then flip every answer into a design principle.
05
Name what's missing
A quick check for the branch you didn't think of, before you prune.
