The Idea Generator - A tool to help structure your business idea brainstorming

The Idea Generator by AreYouInterested is a completely free tool to structure your idea generation. It guides you through the Niche-Action-Problem brainstorming system, and allows you to see the ideas that other members of the community came up with, too.

Hey Product Hunters! There is one main problem that our company addresses. The problem of coming up with and validating, an idea for a business. We believe that the idea is the foundation of a strong business, and can be the deciding factor in your success or failure as an enterprise. So, we have spent months developing ways to help our customers brainstorm ideas, validate them, and then successfully execute them. During our research, we noticed that there weren't any concrete systems to help entrepreneurs come up with business ideas. Most articles that we found on the subject said something along the lines of "Ask people you know what problems they have." or "Think about what problems you have faced in your life." While these pieces of advice aren't wrong, the questions that they pose are so broad as to not really be helpful in actually coming up with an idea. Most people have a hard time thinking of actionable problems with no prompt. That's why we developed the Niche-Action-Problem (NAP) system. We also created this tool to help guide you through the steps of it. We found that we had a much higher success rate when we were being forced through the steps, and had to make our brainstorming follow a rigid structure. If you'd like, feel free to check it out! On the site you can go through the NAP system, read more about it, and (if you want) share your ideas with the rest of the community. Also, I'd love to hear what you think! We've been working very hard on this and are pleased with how it came out.
