How it works
AI generates ideas
MyMap produces a range of ideas across different angles — practical, creative, and unconventional — and lays them out visually on the canvas.
Explore and develop
Ask AI to expand on any idea, combine two ideas, or generate variations. Move and group ideas, add your own, and refine toward your favorite directions.
About the framework
What is an Idea Generator?
An idea generator is a structured brainstorming tool that helps individuals and teams rapidly produce a wide range of possibilities around a topic, problem, or goal. Rather than starting from a blank page, you provide context and a prompt — and the tool produces a diverse spread of ideas across different angles and approaches.
Effective idea generation is grounded in research on divergent thinking: producing quantity before quality, exploring unconventional directions, and separating the generation phase from the evaluation phase to avoid premature filtering.
Why structured idea generation works
- Diverse angles push beyond the first obvious ideas to surface less expected approaches
- Visual spread lets you see the full space of possibilities before committing to any direction
- Low friction lowers the barrier to getting started — especially useful for creative blocks
- Quantity over quality (at first) means more raw material to work with when evaluating options
Idea generators are used for product feature brainstorming, startup concepts, marketing campaigns, creative writing, event planning, gift ideas, and research exploration.
MyMap's AI generates a visually organized spread of ideas from a single prompt — grouped by theme and ready to expand, combine, or evaluate in follow-up conversations.
