  • Builder mode: design thinking brainstorming for side projects, learning, hackathons, and open source.
  • Saves a design doc and can be invoked when asked to brainstorm this, a new product idea, or to assess whether something is worth building.

Quick Start

Ask me to brainstorm a new product idea using the two modes and generate a ready-to-share design document.
