Using the idea generator

Generating ideas

Pick a niche and let the generator propose ideas. It is best used as a starting point - a way to break a blank page - rather than a final answer. The real validation comes from tying an idea back to documented demand.

Evaluating an idea

1. 1

   Describe the idea

   Enter the idea you want to test - either one the generator produced or one of your own.

2. 2

   Run the evaluation

   The Idea Evaluator scores market potential, competition, and viability in under 30 seconds.

3. 3

   Read the recommendations

   Review the actionable recommendations for sharpening the idea before you invest more time.

4. 4

   Verify against real demand

   Take the survivors into complaint and pain point research to confirm the demand is documented.

Generator vs evaluator

The two tools do opposite jobs. The Idea Generator creates ideas from nothing - you give it a niche and it proposes directions. The Idea Evaluator scores an idea you already have. If you arrived with a concept in mind, skip the generator and go straight to the evaluator. If you are staring at a blank page, start with the generator.

Getting more from generated ideas

Generated ideas are strongest when you feed the generator context rather than a bare niche. The more specific the niche and the audience you describe, the more targeted the output. Then treat the results as a menu of hypotheses: pick the two or three that overlap with a real problem you have seen, and put those through evaluation and evidence checks. Ideas that cannot be tied to a documented, recurring complaint are the ones to drop first.
