A semantic collision engine for non-trivial idea generation, grounded in Koestler's bisociation theory of human creativity (1964).

How a session works
01
Brief.
Problem + reference material.
02
Domains.
Distant knowledge, active principles.
03
Collide.
Mass generation across pairs.
04
Curate.
Extract non-trivial gems.
Built for Researchers, ideation teams, R&D departments. Any domain where one non-trivial idea outweighs the cost of compute.
Evidence Benchmarked across 12 projects with a blind LLM-judge protocol. See the launch study ↓

Escaping the Hivemind, measured.

Language models converge to a narrow region of idea space when given the same brief, a phenomenon researchers call the Artificial Hivemind. We tested whether distant-domain collisions actually escape it.

Projects
12 real-world ideation problems
Baselines
3 controls (flat, "be original", deep brief)
Verdicts
4,320 blind LLM-judge pairs
Geometric distance
12/12
projects passed (p = 0.0002, BGE & e5)
Outputs land further from the default-prompt cloud on every project. Effect 4–13× larger than typical "be original" instructions.
Blind LLM-judge
10/12
originality wins (mean 62%, p = .019)
Three independent judges. A wins on originality, ties or beats baselines on overall quality.

For companies that refuse to converge.

We deploy our generation methods inside companies whose work depends on outputs the default LLM cloud can't reach. The engine is calibrated to your problem, your use cases, your brand.

Refuse

the average voice.

For brand work

When the words have to read like the brand wrote them. We tune the engine on what you say, what you'd never say, and what only you can mean.

Refuse

the safe answer.

For strategy work

When a brief has more upside in being right alone than right with everybody else. We bring distance from structurally remote domains, not louder prompting.

Refuse

the convergence.

For R&D briefs

When in-house generation has stopped surfacing fresh angles and every iteration lands in the same neighborhood. We rebuild the search, not the prompt.

We rebuild the search, not the prompt.
