Why ideating with AI
Too linear for messy ideas
Every idea waits its turn: one question, one answer, while the rest of your thinking stalls.
Single-player by design
Just you and a terminal, while everyone else who shapes the product is left out.
Context is everywhere
Your codebase, docs, and Slack threads are scattered. Every answer starts from scratch.
Dump your half-formed ideas on the board. Agents read the mess and post every open question at once, as nodes you answer in any order, on your own time.
Spin up as many background agents as you want, each with its own job: review the PRD, propose next steps, check the architecture. They work as you plan, not when you stop to ask.
Teammates and agents share one canvas. People drop in answers whenever they have a minute; agents keep working in between. Presence is live; contributions are async.
Run npx ideawave and the board connects to your local agent and the live repo. Plans reference real files, real architecture, real constraints, not a guess from a doc.
Two ideas headed to the board that push planning past anything a chat can do.
The voice of the board
Talk to the board and it does the rest: configure agents, spawn new ones, draw cards, and flag what needs you. An orchestrator that runs the room by voice.

Custom UI, generated on the fly
Agents build interactive widgets straight into the board, in theme and first-party. Need a bespoke control for this plan? It appears right when you need it.
Up and running in three steps
The board works the instant you open it. Your agent joins with one command, then you plan together.
