How is Generative AI used as a brainstorming partner beyond text or images?

[JackP]

Generative AI is amazing for creating content, but sometimes the most practical use is as a brainstorming partner or a tool to overcome creative blocks by generating initial ideas or outlines. How are you using it in your creative or problem-solving process beyond just generating finished text or images?

I start with a simple problem statement and ask AI to generate several outline options. I pick one and turn it into a plan with milestones. Keeps the project focused.

[Tyler.P]

I use AI as a sanity check for logic and assumptions. I propose a few hypotheses and ask for counterpoints or evidence. If it flags a gap I dig in before coding.

[Jerry70]

I treat AI as a brainstorming partner for stories, products, or features, not a final producer. It helps surface angles I might miss.

[Ava_J]

I turn rough ideas into a backlog by asking for sections and a suggested order. The AI proposes tasks and a simple plan so you can ship small increments quickly.
