I'm building an app that slows down your work

Why do you need this? For when creativity is required. So you can stop and think for yourself, instead of taking a generic and ready-made answers from ChatGPT/etc.

It helps you learn to think independently instead of handing everything over to AI. Yes, it's harder and takes longer. But the result will be better because the outcome is yours - you come up with the idea yourself. AI hasn't reached the level where it can think for us yet. But it's great at push us - and that's what Ideation does.

The key feature is the role model. Several different roles will help you think through an idea using very short prompts, instead of giving you ready-made answers. Right now, there are 13 roles available, such as the Nitpicker, Marketer, Critic, Perfectionist, Psychologist, and others. And another interesting roles are on the way!

When I use the app myself, 5 minutes of brainstorming is enough to get 20-30 useful tips from the Marketer or Psychologist, and some uncomfortable questions from the Critic. Then, I think for myself. It's a very satisfying feeling - thinking on your own and rewarding your brain for processing the idea. You don't have to stop using ChatGPT. But it's better to spend 5 minutes thinking for yourself first: fast filter out the obvious ideas, pick the ones you like, and then start a new chat with those.

A quick limited demo is available here: https://tryideation.app/start/

Try getting ideas on the site. Click on the generated ideas to generate deeper. Pause for a moment, and think for yourself!

Or get full version AppStore / Google Play (free version is enough to try)

I've recently finished some improvements after receiving initial user feedback, and I want to make the app even better by launch time! Please share your thoughts on this, or tell me how you brainstorm your ideas: what are you missing in the process?
