Product Ideas - The 'Product Trio' Prompt for Breakthrough Ideas.

Instead of just asking for "ideas," this prompt makes the AI simulate a discovery sprint with a Product Trio (PM, Design, Engineering). It forces a multi-faceted analysis, balancing value, usability, and feasibility from the start. Use this when: You're starting discovery or feel stuck in an ideation rut.

It’s designed to be blunt, specific, and execution-oriented. No fluff.
