A more focused way of generating ideas would be to have a multi-step approach, define the scope, collect information, generate ideas, clean up, expand/deduplicate, evaluate and rank, see a figure 4 from a review [1]

I tried to do it based on ICLR conference, and rank via LLM-tournament, see result https://openreview-copilot.eamag.me/projects and process https://eamag.me/2025/Paper-To-Project

Given the title, thought this was going to be another "write it down, get it out of your head" note-taking tool. Boy was I surprised when the first thing I typed in exploded into 10 more things to think about!

Love this! UX nit: I love that I can 'lock' good ideas in and ask for a fresh batch, but I want a way to say 'I reject this idea and don't want to see it again.'

I kept getting the same 'wrong flavor' ideas even after 2-3 rounds.

Whenever I click "Brainstorm", I get an error saying "Failed to fetch ideas." Just wanted to report it in case it's helpful for the developer.

This really exploded in traffic, thanks to everyone who tried it out and gave me feedback!

Evidence that ideas are a dime a dozen.

I'm told: > Enter a topic and get some ideas

And when I enter something I get: "Error: Invalid topic"

It was fun, I’ll try it again when I have more time.
