Open Concept Transformer

Concept Transformer: a lighthouse on a cliff branching into inversion, metaphor and defamiliarize results

What it does

Concept Transformer turns the classic creative techniques into buttons. Type a simple scene, press one of about forty moves, and get three rewrites. Each result is a full concept again, so a map grows as deep as you want to take it.

Drag one box onto another to collide two ideas. Keep and discard results, and later presses lean toward what you kept. It runs on free AI engines, or on your own key, which is never stored. The code is public so anyone can check what happens to what they type.

  • About forty moves in ten groups, from SCAMPER to chance
  • Collide two ideas by connecting their boxes
  • Keep and discard to steer the next results
  • Results as image concepts or as plain ideas
  • Free engines or your own key, which is never stored
The whole map: four moves deep, from a lighthouse to a tightrope between skyscrapers
