How to Use

  1. Open your workspace and click Idea Lab in the sidebar

Tips

  • Be specific when expanding: "A meal planning app for busy parents" gives better results than "a food app"
  • Try multiple categories: The same problem can be solved as a SaaS, mobile app, or e-commerce product
  • Use starter prompts directly: Each idea includes a ready-to-use prompt — paste it into a new project to start building
