Every successful business starts with an idea – but coming up with that idea can be a challenge. If you find yourself staring at a blank page, unsure what to pursue, why not invite an AI into your brainstorming session? AI tools like ChatGPT can generate a ton of ideas quickly. Here’s how to use AI to spark your next business idea:
Feed It Your Interests and Goals – The more info you give the AI, the better the ideas. Start by telling it about your skills, passions, and the kind of income or schedule you’re aiming for. For example: “I love baking and have marketing experience. I can spend 20 hours a week and I’d like to make around $1,000 a month. What online business ideas might fit?” The AI will likely list several possibilities (like selling custom cookies online, starting a baking blog with ad revenue, offering marketing services to local bakeries, etc.). Don’t worry if some ideas seem off – it’s a starting point.
Drill Down and Refine – Treat it like a conversation. If the AI suggests “sell custom cookies,” you can ask follow-ups: “What would I need to start an online custom cookie business?” or “Who would my customers be?” This can help flesh out the idea. Maybe another suggestion was “offer marketing services.” You might ask, “What niche could I focus on for marketing services?” and the AI could suggest targeting small food businesses given your baking interest. By iterating like this, you go from broad ideas to more tailored ones that fit your situation.
Evaluate and Add Your Own Twist – AI is great for generating ideas, but you’ll add the magic. Once you have a few promising concepts, step back and evaluate them. Which one excites you the most? Which seems most feasible given your life? You can even ask the AI, “What are the first steps to test if this idea would work?” to get a simple action plan. Finally, add your personal twist. The best ideas often come when you combine the AI’s suggestions with your unique perspective or a gap you’ve noticed in the market. AI might give a generic idea, but you’ll shape it into something uniquely yours.
Takeaway: Brainstorming with AI is like having an always-available idea buddy. It won’t hand you a perfect business plan (and you’ll still need to do real-world research), but it can kickstart your creativity and get the ideas flowing. When you’re stuck, don’t go it alone – open up an AI chat and start dreaming up possibilities. Your next big idea might be just a prompt away.
