Gemini: New Technique to Level Up Your Ideas
(you can easily filter previous issues by application!)
Hey friends - I sincerely believe one of the most underrated use cases for Gemini is brainstorming fresh ideas we can use at work.
But there’s a problem: Without a reliable framework, the ideas Gemini comes up with can be a hit-or-miss. Sometimes we are gifted with a thought-provoking insight, other times the results are downright generic.
The good news? There's a simple technique to consistently elevate the quality of your AI-generated ideas: Answer Leveling.
The Answer Leveling Technique
Here’s how it works:
- You first provide Gemini with a “Level 1” idea that’s boring but safe (e.g. a Level 1 birthday present idea might be jewelry)
- You then provide Gemini with a “Level 2” idea that you can still easily think of, but one that’s “better” than your Level 1 idea (e.g. a weekend getaway instead of jewelry)
- Based on this linear progression, ask Gemini to share five “Level 3” ideas
You’ll usually receive a list of ideas that you probably haven’t thought of, but still realistically doable.
