Decisions Into Alternatives - Automatic Option Generation

You see one path forward. Automatically generate 2-3 alternatives you might have missed.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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

Executive dysfunction and anxiety can lock you into the first solution you see. You need help thinking of alternatives but generating them yourself feels impossible. External brainstorming removes this barrier.

  • Break tunnel vision on decisions
  • Discover options you would have missed
  • Reduce decision anxiety
  • Gain confidence in your choice

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Docugenerate and Ollama integrations to Notis.
  • 2Create automation: 'When a decision or proposal document is generated, suggest alternative approaches.'
  • 3Set trigger to 'Webhook - Docugenerate document generation'.
  • 4Instruct: 'Analyze the proposed decision or approach in this document. Generate 2-3 clearly different alternative approaches. For each alternative, include: description, pros, cons, and when you might choose this over the proposed approach. Make alternatives genuinely different, not just minor variations.'
  • 5Review alternatives in your notification channel and use this to inform your final decision.

Questions about this workflow

Won't too many options make decisions harder?

3 options is the sweet spot - enough to overcome tunnel vision, not so many you are paralyzed. You can adjust the number in your instruction.

What if the proposed approach is already the best one?

The alternatives help you understand why your original choice is best - this increases confidence in the decision.

Can I ask for more radical alternatives?

Yes - add to your instruction: 'Include at least one unconventional or outside-the-box alternative.' Ollama will expand your thinking further.
