Brainstormer

For product teams

Product ideation that ends in a prioritized shortlist

Product ideation has two failure modes: the empty backlog and the bloated one. Brainstormer fixes both: it diverges feature directions from a real problem statement, clusters them into themes, and scores a shortlist your roadmap can absorb.

  • Feature directions from a problem statement, not a vacuum
  • Themes named and counted before ideas compete
  • Impact-versus-effort scores with written reasoning
  • Async voting: the roadmap meeting starts decided

No credit card needed.

Why

Sample brainstorm shown. Your challenges stay private.

Ideate from problems, not from "any ideas?"

Good product ideation starts from a problem statement ("activation drops at step three", "power users hit a ceiling") and diverges mechanisms against it. That is exactly the input Brainstormer wants: state the problem, and the wall fills with directions tagged by mechanism, from remove-the-step to borrow-from-another-category. The ideation process guide maps this to the full discovery cycle.

Seed the wall with the ideas already in your backlog and yes-and mode mutates and strengthens them; the engine treats your team's thinking as material, not competition. PMs run SCAMPER over an existing feature when the ask is "make v2 interesting".

Converge like a discovery team, not a suggestion box

Clustering names the themes and counts the energy: eleven notes on habit mechanics and two on onboarding is a finding before anyone votes. Then prioritization scores impact versus effort with the reasoning written out, and the team dot-votes async on the shared wall. The roadmap meeting opens with a scored, voted shortlist and spends its hour on trade-offs, which is what meetings are for.

The honest boundary matters here: scores are positions to argue with, not verdicts. Your discovery data, your call. The tool's job is making every reason explicit.

Fits the cadence you already run

Sprint-start ideation, quarterly roadmap prep, a design-sprint Monday, or the Slack thread that deserved better: each is one wall, ten async minutes per teammate, one converge. Exports land in Markdown and CSV, ready for your backlog tool.

Team is $99 per month for 5 seats with shared libraries, voting and facilitator mode. Enterprise adds SSO, roles and an SLA; compare plans, or try the product scenario in the studio above.

Questions

How does this fit next to our roadmap tool?

Upstream of it. Brainstormer is where the messy option-space gets generated, clustered and scored; the surviving shortlist exports to CSV or Markdown and enters your backlog as candidates with reasoning attached.

Can the whole squad contribute?

Yes, async: everyone adds and votes on their own time on a shared wall, the AI keeps directions diverse, and facilitator mode covers the sessions you run live.
