Get ideas with actual range
Most AI averages toward the obvious. Brainstorm pushes the other way: distinct, varied options, including the weird ones worth keeping.
Try this promptAsk a typical assistant for ideas and you get five variations on the same safe idea. That is the model converging on the median, which is the opposite of what brainstorming is for.
The Brainstorm pipeline pushes for spread instead: distinct angles, more variety, a few rough edges. Useful exactly when the obvious answer is the wrong one.
Same task, less slop
Here are some great name ideas: 1. NoteFlow 2. NoteWise 3. NotePro 4. SmartNotes 5. NoteHub. These names are clean, professional, and clearly convey the note-taking functionality!
Range, plain to playful: Margin. Quiet. Inkling. Loose Leaf. Cmd+N. Scratch. The Drawer. Marginalia. Two safe, two odd, two that only make sense to your crowd. Want more in any direction?
Brainstorm ideas with Berges AI
Frame the problem, not the answer
Say what you are deciding and who it is for. The more specific the context, the less generic the ideas.
Pick Brainstorm and ask for many
Select the Brainstorm pipeline and ask for more options than you need: eight, not three. Volume is where the good ones hide.
Push in a direction
Reply with "weirder", "more serious", or "more like X" to steer the next batch. Treat it as a back-and-forth, not a one-shot.
Pair it with the Berges Brainstorm pipeline
Brainstorm raises the randomness and layers a divergence-first prompt on top of the model, so it reaches for distinct angles instead of polishing a single safe answer.
Put this in your prompt
- → Who the idea is for, in one phrase.
- → A constraint or two (length, format, must-avoid).
- → Ask for more than you need, then cut.
- → A reference point: "in the spirit of X, but not a copy".
Things people ask
Why not just ask normally for ideas?
A normal answer converges on the most likely option, which makes every idea feel the same. Brainstorm deliberately raises variety so you get real range to choose from.
Will some ideas be bad?
Yes, on purpose. Brainstorm trades a higher hit of duds for a few genuinely original ones. Cutting is easy. Getting range is the hard part.
Can I keep going?
Yes. Each reply steers the next batch. Say what you liked and what to push further, and it builds on it.
