Note that these are precomputed. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;prompts.productideas.co&#x2F;prompts.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;prompts.productideas.co&#x2F;prompts.js</a><p>You should probably say how you are generating these prompts because none of these have the hallmarks of AI-based generation or Markov chains (the corresponding Product Hunt post just says &quot;the prompts are generated through an algorithm&quot;). From the detailed link citations in the precomputed output, these seem manually-written and not a &quot;generator&quot;, unless it&#x27;s ad-libs of manually written citations&#x2F;prompts.

This is pretty well done! I had to stop myself as I started to take some of these seriously :-)<p>Feature idea for this website: when generating a prompt, don&#x27;t leave it on the root page but change the address to something that can be used to rebuild the PRNG seed. This lets users bookmark pages or send links to generated prompts.<p>There are many ways to do this; encoding the value in base 62 is a common way to represent a value as a ~short string (e.g. for the 64-bit seed 1949167919549607868, generate the URL &lt;domain&gt;&#x2F;2JzD0HT2T8u).

I guessed this would be a &quot;make <i>Uber</i> but for <i>plumbers</i>&quot; kind of thing, but I&#x27;m pleasantly surprised most of these are decent paths. They aren&#x27;t ideas per se, but are specific places for finding them.<p>Well done.

Reminds me of a parody startup generator I made years ago :) [0].<p>The ideas that reference a specific other company or niche are good but for more abstract prompts (e.g. &quot;Consider the human desire for power. How could you use technology to take out steps?&quot;) I&#x27;ve found it&#x27;s harder to get a meaningful brainstorm started.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ryanmadden.net&#x2F;startupgenerator&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ryanmadden.net&#x2F;startupgenerator&#x2F;</a>

Just to say out of the 10 or so that I read, at least 7 were really clever, great food for thought. Bookmarked! Thanks for sharing this.

This is also a good source for PM interview questions

Does it use tech similar to GPT-3 to generate these ideas?
