AI Ideation Lab

2026 will be the year of Innovation Autonomy, and we've got you covered 💪

Your next breakthrough

Since mid-2023, you've been able to tinker with our TrendBaby Ideation applications, hosted on our platform.

Recognizing the need for fully independent, private ideation, we're now switching to a setup that lets you ideate 100% within your own AI setup, with TrendWatching upfront providing you with trend intelligence and prompts.

So join us on an trends x AI x ideation journey, using our trend intelligence & prompts and your own AI assistant to create new trend-driven products, services, campaigns and strategies.

The step by step process

And all you need to do is answer some questions 🎉

1. Input

Your own AI assistant will ask you a number of simple questions about the trend you want to ideate with, your audience, the organization you're ideating for and so on.

2. Ideations

Based on your and TrendWatching's input, your AI assistant will then ideate three new winning consumer products / services / experiences.

3. User testing

To fine-tune the ideations, the assistant will ask you some follow-up questions and will then conduct some synthetic-user testing.

4. Final visualization + recap

Once the ideations are fully to your liking, your assistant will visualise them, and also produce a nice deck recapping all input, reasoning and the actual ideations.
That's it!
(And yes, you can ask your assistant to do another run and create even more ideations... indefinitely, even 😉)
