Best AI for brainstorming ideas
Most models default to the same five "best practices." Good brainstorming requires divergence — weird angles, contrarian takes, the idea that's wrong but interesting. The right model produces variance; the wrong one produces consensus.
Our pick
Claude Opus 4.7
Most willing to suggest weird, contrarian, or risky ideas instead of safe consensus picks. Best for genuine divergence.

Llama 3.3 70B
Llama is less RLHF'd toward safe answers — sometimes produces the unexpected angle no major-lab model will.

Compare head-to-head Sample prompt to try
Brainstorm 20 names for a SaaS that helps freelancers write better invoices. Include 3 intentionally bad/silly ideas. Mix one-word, two-word, and made-up names.
What to look for in any model
- 1Ask for 20 ideas, not 5 — the first 5 are always obvious; the gold is in 11-20
- 2Tell the model to include 3 "intentionally bad" ideas — forces real divergence
- 3Specify the constraint that makes the problem interesting (budget, timeline, audience)
- 4Run the same prompt on 2 models — overlap = obvious, divergence = where the value is
