Brainstorm the idea

A step of the Cloud application tree on Gradus, in the Product area: Idea, users, decisions, feedback.

Brainstorm with your assistant until one idea is worth a few weekends: who it is for, what it does in one sentence, what it deliberately does not do and why now, written to docs/product/idea.md.

Usually comes after: First commit.

Leads to: Users & their jobs, Project knowledge base.

Prompt for your AI assistant

Help me brainstorm a small software product I can build and run in the cloud over a few weeks. Ask me about my interests, my experience and the problems I see around me, propose five ideas sized for one person, push back on the ones that are too big, then help me pick one. Write docs/product/idea.md with: the problem, who has it, what the product does in one sentence, what it deliberately does not do, why now and a short note on my experience and the time I can give it. Write no code.
