Ideas Expanded Automatically - New Angles and Variations
Your first idea is on the table. Get 5 more before you decide.
Trigger

Action
Chat with Ollama model
Tool to send a chat message with conversation history to Ollama. Use when you need to have a multi-turn conversation with an LLM model.
Why this helps
You have one idea and get stuck on it. Generating alternatives yourself feels impossible - you need external help to expand thinking. Executive dysfunction makes divergent thinking harder.
- Break tunnel vision on first idea
- Discover new angles you would have missed
- Expand creative thinking
- Collaborative ideation with AI
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Docugenerate and Ollama to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create automation: 'When a brainstorm or initial idea document is created, expand it with variations and new angles.'
- 3Set trigger to 'Webhook - Docugenerate document generation'.
- 4Instruct: 'You have an initial brainstorm here. Generate 5 alternative angles, variations, or related ideas that expand on this concept. For each idea: description, why it is different from the original, potential benefits. Help the creator think bigger and wider.'
- 5Review the expanded brainstorm in your notification channel - use these ideas to improve your original concept.
Questions about this workflow
What if some suggestions are not relevant?
That is fine - use what is valuable, ignore the rest. The automation helps you think wider, not prescribe answers.
Can I provide constraints to narrow the expansion?
Yes - add context: 'These ideas must be implementable in 2 weeks' or 'Must cost under 500 dollars.' Ollama will respect constraints.
How many expansion ideas do I want?
5-7 is usually the sweet spot. You can ask for more or fewer in your instruction.
