🗿 Brainstorming Super Powers

In partnership with

GM. Happy Tuesday. Slow news day if you’re avoiding US election nonsense. If you’re into that sort of thing, Trump worked a short shift at a McDonalds. 

We’re going to take a break from news and bring you a game changing chat gpt prompt you can replicate to jump start brainstorms and make hard decisions not so hard.

Without Further Ado. ☕ *knuckle cracks* ☕ Let’s get into it.

Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes

RAG in just a few lines of code? We’ve launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.

Integrated into Writer’s full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.

Chat GPT Power Move: The Matchup Simulator 

We know ai is overwhelming and you don’t have time to constantly scour the web for productivity tips and ai use cases. That’s why we’re here. 

Most of you know that you can use chat gpt to brainstorm lists and ideas. But if you’ve used it for this you also know that most of the outputs are pretty weak. Below is a prompt you can replicate and customize to get real outputs you can use. 

The Matchup Simulator

We’re calling it the matchup simulator. We’ve also seen people call it the ai bracket challenge, or the playoff prompt. Whatever you call it, you’re getting chat gpt to brainstorm ideas, and then have those ideas compete against each other to find what it thinks would be the best outcome. We’re also going 7th grade math on the little robot – chat gpt plz show your work and explain your answers. 

The prompt

For the sake of the exercise, let’s say we’re starting a podcast on everyone’s new favorite sport, Padel. We need a name, so here’s the prompt:

You are tasked with naming a new podcast.

This podcast will focus on talking about the growth of the sport of Padel in the united states, new clubs that are opening, and new equipment.

You will use a “playoff” method to find the best name for this podcast.

Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Generate Names Create a list of 32 distinct names for the podcast. Each name should reflect the topic padel and its growth. Be creative, but make sure the names are clear, catchy, and relevant to the theme.

Step 2: The Playoff Rounds Round of 32: Pair the 32 names into 16 matchups (pairs). Compare each pair and choose a winner based on: How memorable and catchy the name is. How well the name reflects the podcast’s theme. Other relevant qualities, such as creativity and uniqueness.

Round of 16: Take the 16 winners from the first round and pair them into 8 matchups. Compare each pair, select a winner, and explain your reasoning.

Quarterfinals: Take the 8 remaining names and form 4 matchups. Again, compare each pair, choose winners, and provide reasoning.

Semifinals: Compare the 4 remaining names in 2 matchups. Select the best name from each pair with reasoning.

Final Round: Compare the final 2 names. Choose the overall best name based on how well it represents the podcast’s goals, its catchiness, and other factors. Provide a detailed explanation for why this name stands out as the best.

Step 3: The Final Output At the end of this playoff process, present: The complete list of the original 32 names, ranked from best to worst, in order. The final chosen name (the top-ranked name). A detailed explanation for why the final name was selected as the best out of all 32.

The results

For the sake of brevity, we won’t paste everything it came back with, but just give you some highlights. 

First, it spit out Step 1 - 32 possible podcast names. 

Second, it lined up the options in matchups, picked a winner, and told us why. Here is an example:

Padel Power Play vs. The Padel Revolution

Winner: The Padel Revolution (Reflects major growth, dynamic)

Next up was the round of sixteen. Same idea, more pressure for our candidate names. Here’s another example:

The Padel Boom vs. The New Padel Frontier

Winner: The Padel Boom (More dynamic and engaging)

Quarter-finals are up, then semis. You get the picture now.

This was the final round matchup, the winner, and chat gpt’s explanation

Final Round - The Showdown

Padel Nation vs. The Padel Boom

Winner: Padel Nation

“Explanation: "Padel Nation" stands out as the most fitting name for the podcast. It is broad and inclusive, signifying that the podcast covers everything related to the growing padel community in the U.S. The term "Nation" evokes a sense of community and collective identity, making listeners feel like they are part of something bigger. It’s also easy to remember, direct, and positions the podcast as a definitive source of information for padel fans. While "The Padel Boom" is exciting, "Padel Nation" better reflects the overarching mission of chronicling the sport’s rise and fostering a strong community around it.”

The breakdown

If you love brackets and competition as much as we do, this is just a fun exercise to watch play out on your screen. Padel nation was a clear 1 seed, but we love an underdog, I was actually rooting for “the court is ours” who got knocked out in the semis. 

More importantly, this whole process would have taken hours, possibly days before chat gpt. Whether you agree with its reasoning or not, this process accelerates the process and allows you to have opinions on something you weren’t even aware of 90 seconds ago. 

Maybe you actually like one of the names knocked out in the quarter finals, and you can ask it to replay the matchups with that and/or new information in mind – “Why not “padel surge”, my uncle’s name is Surge and he’s a professional padel player”

The point is, the bracket and results are not definitive, but rather the start of your human brainstorming process. You’ll just be starting from weeks ahead of a 2022 version of yourself.
