The AI Brainstorming Tool You'll Use for Everything: 108 Techniques Inside Claude Code

There's an amazing new brainstorming tool you can launch right inside Claude Code — and once you try it, you'll find yourself using it for everything.

After installing BMAD with one command:

You just run:

That single command gives you access to 108 different brainstorming techniques across 13 categories. Tell the AI what you want to brainstorm — whether it's your mother and father's 60th anniversary party, a new product idea, a book launch like Unhustle, or anything else on your mind — and it gets to work generating ideas for you.

The tool has also been integrated directly into this website — try it at preibisch.biz/brainstorm — so you can run a session right now without installing anything.

The most magical mode is called Ideate for me. You step back completely. The AI runs the entire session — generating ideas, switching between techniques, and pushing past 60, 80, even 100 ideas — all on your topic. You just watch the ideas roll in.

You're not just getting a list of bullet points. You're getting a curated artifact — organized by technique, with the best ideas highlighted — that you can share, revisit, and actually use.

Here's an actual brainstorm keepsake generated by BMAD for planning a 60th wedding anniversary. 60+ ideas across five techniques: What If Scenarios, Cross-Pollination, Assumption Reversal, Role Playing, and Time Shifting. The standout ideas are starred. There's a full synthesis section at the end pulling everything together.

This is a real artifact — self-contained HTML, no server needed, works offline, shareable by dragging the file anywhere. Notice it's not a generic template: the colors, tone, and layout all match the subject matter. A children's birthday party brainstorm would look completely different.

88 ideas across 8 techniques for Milena Miteva-Regos's Fall 2026 book launch — including an invented technique the AI created on the fly for this session. Read the full case study →

The full library covers techniques most brainstormers have never heard of — organized into 13 categories that produce structurally different kinds of sessions:

Picking Biomimetic means the AI draws from how organisms solve problems. Picking Theatrical means it uses roleplay and persona-switching. Picking Absurdist means it will push ideas to genuinely ridiculous extremes — and sometimes the best idea hides inside an absurd one. The category you choose shapes the entire session.

BMAD also ships 50 advanced elicitation techniques for getting the most out of AI responses. Read the full reference →

When you launch /bmad-brainstorming, BMAD opens a beautiful offline HTML page called the brainstorming composer. No server, no login — it opens in your browser immediately.

The genius of the composer is this: you browse 108 techniques visually, click the ones you want, choose your mode (Ideate for me, Facilitate, or Creative Partner), then hit Copy prompt. That copies a fully configured brainstorming prompt to your clipboard. Paste it into Claude Code and the session begins exactly how you designed it.

You pick the mode in the composer. Each puts you in a different relationship with the AI:

Install BMAD with one command in your project terminal, then launch from the Claude Code chat:

The composer page opens in your browser. Pick your techniques, copy the prompt, paste it back into the chat — and you're brainstorming with 108 techniques behind you.
