An early prototype of cards for divergent and convergent thinking

Kia ora, Namaskaram 🙏🏾

Last post, we explored the mental model of ‘divergent thinking’ and tested how AI can generate 15 to 20 unique ideas in seconds.

⚠️ If you skipped that step, first try divergent thinking prompts: 1a. Quantity Ideas > Quality Ideas, 1b. Perspective Play, or 1c. Analogical Thinking.

The following convergent thinking prompt cards work only after you've got a collection of raw ideas to filter.

AI has the creative horsepower but it struggles with prioritisation. With three frameworks from design thinking, you'll move from 20 unfiltered possibilities to ideas seriously worth considering.

Ready to dive in? Here’s what you’ll get:

✅ Notion Starter Kit (#2 of 9) – Explore the prompt cards with example input/output
✅ Mental Models – Review the three prompts based on convergent thinking
✅ Video-lesson – Bite-sized lesson on the mindsets of divergent and convergent thinking with AI
