Create Ideas - The Meta Mind
Intelligence patterns, documented as a deck - and put to work
Overview
An experiment in making creative intelligence reusable. Instead of prompting an AI blindly, Create Ideas documents how strong thinkers actually reason - as a deck of "thinking cards", each one a templated reasoning lens (Enantiodromia, Steelman the Repugnant Side, the Carlin cut, the Jeselnik reversal). A brief is passed through a hand of selected lenses, and each lens forces the AI down a different reasoning path - producing ideas across formats like ad campaigns, stand-up comedy, and philosophy that a single generic prompt would never reach. Shortlisted ideas render into AI-generated storyboards, and every run is saved with all of its prompts, ideas, and boards.
What I did
- Designed the core abstraction: intelligence patterns codified as reusable, composable "thinking card" templates with their own AI reasoning prompts
- Built the four-step pipeline - Brief → Cards → Ideas → Storyboards - where each run applies 8 lenses to generate 24 distinct ideas grouped by the lens that produced them
- Card builder with AI self-extension: the system can invent new reasoning lenses on a theme, growing its own documentation of how thinking works
- Integrated AI image generation to render shortlisted ideas into multi-frame storyboards for video concepts
- Full product build - auth, projects archive, admin tooling - developed with Claude Code
