A live system that turns your business experience and everything you read into content and strategy ideas.

What this is

The Ideas Engine has three moving parts:

1. An inbox in Google Drive — a folder you keep dropping material into. It never stops filling up.
2. A prompt that processes it — you paste one prompt (below) and it reads the new material, pulls out the useful lessons, files them, and strips out anything confidential.
3. A library in Notion — a database where every lesson lands as its own entry, filed by category, source, and tag. This grows over time and is what your AI reads when you want ideas.

Two sources feed the inbox:

• Your business — past campaigns, what converted, what flopped, customer insights.
• What you read — articles, competitor moves, research, anything that sparks a thought.

Each tool does what it's actually good at: Drive reads the raw material, Notion stores and organises the finished lessons. Nothing gets copy-pasted by hand.

Why it's worth building

It uses the stuff you already collect. Your team already screenshots competitor ads, clips articles, and forwards "we should try this" links. Almost none of it gets used. This is where those inputs become a real idea instead of dying in a tab.

The ideas actually survive. Generic AI hands you the same twelve tactics everyone gets. This runs on your real results and your recent reading, so ideas come out already filtered through what works in your category.

It compounds. A normal AI chat starts cold every time. This gets better every week you feed it. Six months in, you're pulling from a private library no competitor has.

It gets out of one person's head. The senior operator's instinct for "that won't work here" and the junior's fresh external examples both feed the same database. A new hire can produce on-brand ideas on day one.

It kills the blank page. When you plan content or a campaign, you filter the database and hand your AI a view built from your own track record.
