AI Brainstorming to Get Unstuck

Now, add your video to your document, and open your AI tool, like Rovo. Then tell AI, “Organize my thoughts from the video on this page.” Watch as AI reads the transcript and returns a more coherent, lightly edited version of what you said. Treat this as a rough working draft, not a finished product.

From here, you can ask AI to go further. For example:

• Clarify the problem and goals: “Based on this transcript, write a clear problem statement, the key goals, and 3–5 non‑goals.”
• Surface risks and unknowns: “List the major risks, unknowns, and open questions you heard, grouped by theme.”
• Compare options you mentioned: “Summarize the different options or approaches I talked about, with pros and cons for each.”
• Tighten your reasoning: “Point out places where my reasoning is fuzzy or contradictory, and suggest questions I should answer to strengthen it.”

• Draft in the format you need: “Turn this into a first draft project brief for stakeholders, with sections for the problem statement, background, proposed solution, risks, and next steps. Use the Project Poster Play as a framework to follow.

The goal here is structure before polish. Let AI add structure to your raw thinking so you can see what you believe and understand.

Skim the AI‑generated content with a critical eye, and ask yourself:

• What feels right?
• What’s missing or off, given the context provided?

• Where is AI hedging, overly confident, or too generic?

Make edits to add your own voice, examples, data points, or stakeholder details that only you know. Remove anything that doesn’t feel true to your team, product, or situation.

If you’re unsure about a section, you can give AI another prompt like, “This section feels too generic. Rewrite it using these specific constraints…” or “Help me tighten this into two sharp paragraphs aimed at [audience].”

You’ll know you’re done with this step when you’d feel comfortable walking a stakeholder through the page without needing support from AI.

Once the page feels solid enough, decide how you’ll use it. For example, you could:

• Create a more polished project brief or strategy page
• Share highlights or a decision summary in Slack, Teams, or an email
• Create work items (stories, tasks, or experiments) to track follow-up in your project management tool, like Jira or Trello
• Compare options in a simple table for stakeholder review

• Add a reminder in your project board with a link to your brainstorming page

Make sure you feel ready to share your page with others and that next steps are clear.

After your first Loom solo brainstorm, reflect on where talking first helped you see the problem more clearly and where AI helped structure or improve your thinking.

Then, make it a ritual by deciding when you’ll do it again, like the next time you’re facing a fuzzy strategy or ambiguous decision, or at the start of your next big project to get your ideas straight before sharing them.
