Brainstorming
Get the ideas out. Then find a direction.
Capture the rough ideas, make connections, and choose a direction worth exploring.
Room for every idea.
In a list, whatever was written first gets the most attention. On a canvas, ideas spread out where you can see them all at once, whether they start as a note, a quick sketch, an image, or a link.
Start with a single prompt in the middle of the board and the constraints beside it. Then add as much as you can before judging any of it.
Brainstorm together, even remotely.
Remote brainstorms often mean one person types while everyone else watches. In Grein, everyone adds to the same board at the same time, and you can see what each person is working on.
When the session ends, the board is the record: every idea, how it was grouped, and what was chosen. Nobody has to transcribe a photo of a whiteboard.
Push past the obvious ideas.
On Pro, ask the AI creative partner for more ideas based on what’s already on the board. It adds its suggestions as notes, so you can keep the useful ones and delete the rest.
Once you’ve chosen, move each direction worth developing into its own nested board, with the original thinking still a click away.
Questions, answered.
Visual brainstorming puts notes, images, sketches, and references on a canvas so you can arrange ideas and see connections as you develop them.
Yes. Start with a blank canvas or a template, and add and move notes freely as ideas develop, without following a fixed outline.
Both. Use a board for private thinking, or invite editors to add and arrange ideas with you in real time.
