You've probably been there: staring at ChatGPT's blank input box, typing "help me brainstorm ideas for..." only to get generic, surface-level suggestions that feel like they came from a corporate handbook. The conversation fizzles out after 12 rounds, leaving you with the same predictable ideas you could have thought of yourself. Sound familiar?
This collection of 12 facilitator-ready prompts transforms your AI brainstorming sessions from scattered conversations into structured, high-output ideation powerhouses. You'll discover specific techniques like 6-3-5 matrices, persona-driven parallel thinking, and reverse problem inversion that generate 30+ distinct ideas per session instead of the usual 5-6 rehashed concepts. Instead of struggling with vague AI responses, you'll have a toolkit that produces organized idea matrices, builds on concepts systematically, and even synthesizes final recommendations with clear next steps.
1
6-3-5 Brainwriting Facilitator
Act as a brainwriting facilitator running a 6-3-5 session. Topic: {INSERT TOPIC}. For each of 5 rounds, generate 6 participants' slips (label P1–P6) with 3 short, distinct ideas each (no duplicates across rounds). After the 5 rounds, aggregate and deduplicate all ideas, group similar concepts, and produce the top 8 refined ideas with one-sentence rationale and a suggested next step for each. Use concise numbered lists and keep each idea ≤ 12 words.
Run a classic 6-3-5 brainwriting session: 6 participants, each writes 3 ideas per round, for 5 rounds. Produce a matrix of slips per round and synthesize final ideas.
2
Silent Rapid Brainwriting (30 ideas)
Produce 30 distinct, concise ideas for: {INSERT TOPIC}. Each idea should be one sentence (≤ 12 words), numbered 1–30, with no duplicates. After the list, provide 3 categories that capture the idea themes and assign ideas to each category by number.
Generate a high volume of short, distinct ideas silently—ideal for kickstarting ideation before discussion.
3
Round-Robin Build-On Slips
I will give you 8 seed ideas for {INSERT TOPIC}. For each seed, produce 3 distinct 'build-on' improvements that explicitly reference the original seed in one sentence each. Number as Seed 1 → 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. After expansions, propose one combined concept per seed merging the best two builds.
Start from seed ideas and generate constructive expansions that build on each slip, emulating team additions.
4
Persona-Driven Parallel Brainwriting
Create 4 user personas for {INSERT TOPIC} (one sentence each). For each persona, write 6 tailored ideas (short bullets) addressing that persona's top pain point. Then list 4 cross-persona opportunities that serve multiple personas.
Generate ideas in parallel from multiple user-persona perspectives to increase diversity of solutions.
5
Constraint-Driven Brainwriting
Topic: {INSERT TOPIC}. Constraints: budget ≤ ${INSERT AMOUNT}, launch in ≤ {INSERT WEEKS} weeks, must comply with {INSERT REGULATION OR RULE}. Generate 20 ideas that each explicitly note how they meet all constraints (one-line justification). Then select top 5 feasible ideas with a 1-paragraph implementation sketch each.
Force creativity by requiring ideas to meet specific resource, regulatory, or timeline constraints.
6
Reverse Brainwriting (Problem Inversion)
Invert this problem: {INSERT PROBLEM STATEMENT}. First, list 12 ideas that intentionally make the inverted problem worse (short bullets). Then for each inverted idea, flip it into a constructive solution (one sentence) and mark the top 4 flips with feasibility notes.
Invert the problem to produce counterintuitive ideas, then flip inverted solutions back to positive actions.
7
SCAMPER Brainwriting for Product Features
Provide a brief description of the product/service: {INSERT DESCRIPTION}. For each SCAMPER letter, generate 6 concrete ideas (total 42). Label each idea with the SCAMPER letter and keep each idea to one sentence. At the end, pick the 7 most promising concepts and give a one-line enhancement for each.
Apply SCAMPER (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse) to generate structured variations of a product or service.
