SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts vague or underspecified goals into structured, multi-phase brainstorming outputs that can adapt between multi-role exploration and focused single-role analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic mode routing: Chooses an auto multi-role path versus a single-role path based on phase 1 mode selection, aligning output depth with user intent and constraints.
  • Dual-mode brainstorming lifecycle: Runs a 4-phase flow—mode routing, artifact generation, role analysis, and synthesis—so ideas progress from raw concepts to consolidated results.
  • Direct entry options: Supports direct execution of auto multi-role or direct single-role paths for faster turnarounds when the desired mode is already known.

Use case example: You need a product or research brainstorm for a complex topic and want both multiple perspectives (auto mode) and a concise focused analysis (single-role mode), then a synthesized final answer.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run brainstorm in auto multi-role mode for the goal: "Design a scalable unified gateway approach for AI and API traffic, including key architectural tradeoffs and an MVP plan."

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate multi-perspective ideas for complex decision-making?

To generate multi-perspective ideas, you can use an automated multi-role analysis workflow that routes between broad exploration and focused single-role paths, synthesizing structured outputs for complex decision-making.

What is the best way to structure a brainstorming flow for artifact generation?

The best way to structure brainstorming for artifact generation is using a 4-phase process: mode routing, artifact generation, role analysis, and final synthesis, which converts vague goals into structured outputs.

How does multi-role analysis work in ideation and synthesis?

Multi-role analysis works in ideation by automatically routing the workflow to explore a goal from multiple perspectives, then consolidating the generated artifacts into a single synthesized final answer.

Can I run a focused single-role analysis instead of auto multi-role mode?

Yes, you can bypass auto multi-role mode by using direct entry options to execute a focused single-role analysis path, enabling faster turnarounds when you already know the desired mode.

When do I need a 4-phase process for brainstorming complex topics?

You need a 4-phase brainstorming process when converting vague or underspecified goals into structured outputs, ensuring ideas progress from raw concepts through role analysis to a consolidated synthesis.
