Show HN: Mimosa - Collaborative brainstorming with AI suggestions
Hello friends! We've been working hard on building Mimosa, and
would love for you to try it! No signups required. Facilitating
brainstorming sessions can be a challenging and time-consuming
task. It's difficult to keep everyone on agenda, engaged, and
contributing. So we've built Mimosa to be the easiest way to
facilitate a brainstorming session. Imagine if a "digital
whiteboard" and a "trello board" had a baby, but built with all the
best practices of professional facilitation. With Mimosa, you can
minimize bias by allowing team members to contribute anonymously
before revealing their ideas. This ensures that everyone has a fair
chance to share their thoughts and ideas without fear of judgment.
Once the brainstorming session is complete, you can easily view and
export the final results. This allows you to keep track of a
meeting's effectiveness and share it with stakeholders. But the
real game-changer is our AI Brainstorming features and it's ability
to turn your 1x team into a 10x team. It help generates and
collaborates with you in your brainstorming session to help you
come up with more and better ideas. We're both scared and excited
to hear all your thoughts, HN! :) Please do let us know any
features or improvements you think we should make to help you in
your meetings.

| Having a good "take" is something people like

| If the idea turned out to be good they'd want some credit

|
| I'm curious what ideas/method this is inspired by, It seems kind

|
| I did not get good ideas from the AI yet, but may not have used

| this.
