Building on initial concepts

ChatGPT shines at iterative ideation, taking rough concepts and evolving them through multiple refinements. Start with a basic idea, then prompt: "Take this concept and make it more [innovative/practical/scalable/user-friendly]." Each iteration adds layers of sophistication while maintaining the core value proposition.

Use branching techniques by asking ChatGPT to create 3 variations of each promising idea. This creates an idea tree where initial concepts spawn multiple evolutionary paths. Some branches lead nowhere, but others reveal unexpected innovations.

The key is maintaining momentum. Instead of getting stuck perfecting one idea, use ChatGPT to rapidly prototype variations and identify which directions merit deeper exploration.
