How to use AI for ideation

Why use AI for ideation?

Using AI for ideation is like having your personal think-tank that never sleeps. The power of artificial intelligence lies in its ability to process massive amounts of data and generate insights that would be impossible to achieve manually. Using AI for ideation can give you a strategic advantage, as it can spot patterns, trends, and associations that might be invisible to the human eye.

How Sanity Create can help with ideation

Sanity Create is the ideal tool for ideation. It marries human creativity with AI assistance, making it the perfect companion for generating fresh and innovative ideas. Its core design is based on the principle of context, meaning your ideas are always grounded in the specifics of your project. This, coupled with its in-built AI assistant, makes it a powerful platform for ideation.

Here's how it works.

• You start by creating a new document in Sanity Create, providing a name that's relevant to your idea.

Sanity Create's AI assistant, affectionately known as 'the Blip', is on hand to help you expand on ideas and polish your writing. The Blip can generate new content based on your notes and existing text, helping you flesh out your ideas. It also adapts to the style and tone specified in your notes, ensuring your ideas remain consistent in their presentation.

The real strength of Sanity Create in ideation lies in its use of notes. These notes can provide context, facts, style guidelines, and inspiration to inform your writing and enable the AI co-writer to make relevant and informed suggestions.
