Unlock Your Best Ideas with AI

Research clearly shows that AI chatbots often surpass most people in developing those “Why didn’t we think of that before?” ideas. Christian Byrge’s own research has been groundbreaking in shaping the modern understanding of AI’s potential to support and enrich human creativity.

We are in an era where those who learn to harness AI to support their creative thinking and innovation processes gain access to limitless ideas and extraordinary competitive advantages. Now, anyone can contribute to developing great ideas—even if you don’t see yourself as one of the creative types.

AI-supported innovation is a game changer, setting new standards for how, how well, and how quickly we can solve challenges in daily life and innovative projects.

But how do we extract good ideas and fresh perspectives from the machine?
