AI isn’t just here to obey, it can also be your sparring partner. Try this:
👉 Prompt: “I want you to act like a friendly but ruthless critic. Here’s my idea: {{insert your idea}}. Please roast it. Tell me why it might fail, the assumptions I’m making, and what I might be blind to. Be playful but sharp.”
Didn’t get enough sting? Edit and re-run:
- “Act as an investor deciding whether to fund me.”
- “Pretend you’re a competitor trying to destroy my idea.”
Then flip it:
“Take the top 3 critiques and turn them into creative opportunities. Suggest one new feature for each.”
👉 Now you’ve roasted your idea, uncovered blind spots, and strengthened it, all without getting embarrassed in front of a client or investor.
