The New Engineer in the Room: AI-Powered Workflow for Brainstorming & Problem Solving

Brainstorming can be time consuming and narrow focused. Ignite new ideas and broaden perspectives with artificial intelligence and instant feedback – an AI-powered workflow called IQ Ideas Plus.

For companies large and small, engineers and scientists are the life blood for innovation – from ideating and brainstorming to invention disclosures. How can you increase the speed and quality of output with time constraints and looming deadlines? Use the power of AI to improve the problem-solving process.

Brainstorming can be time consuming and narrow focused. Ignite new ideas and broaden perspectives with artificial intelligence and instant feedback – an AI-powered workflow called IQ Ideas Plus. IQ Ideas Plus is a first-of-its-kind platform that provides AI-powered brainstorming, idea novelty scoring, and invention disclosure drafting in one application. Through a guided workflow that speeds product development, IQ Ideas Plus provides both analysis and suggestions to solve tough technical problems. Think outside the box and validate more ideas.

  • More than just a brainstorm facilitator, IQ Ideas Plus is another engineer in the room, actively participating in the process using a proprietary AI-engine and standard six sigma processing. Review abstracted solutions to generate concrete ideas. Use relevant prior art to see how it has been done before.
  • Problem-solve through cause and effect or overall system improvement. Get instant idea validation with AI analysis and intelligent suggestions to help ideate. Brainstorming modules help with individual problem solving or collaborative team sessions to help discover new ways to think about your problem.
  • Better describe your invention to know its novelty before you hand it over to the IP team. IQ Ideas Plus suggestions can improve your description, score the uniqueness of your invention, and provides relevant patents and competitive intelligence related to your novel idea.
