Pushing the limits of artificial creativity.

§ 01 — OPEN COLLIDER

Open Collider

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. Best outputs from the noise.

§ 02 — LAUNCH STUDY

Escaping the Hivemind, measured.

Given the same brief, language models converge to a narrow region of idea space. Researchers call it the Artificial Hivemind (Jiang et al., 2025). 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
Every project escapes the default cloud. 4–13× further than asking the model to "be original".
n = 12 p = 0.0002 embed = BGE · e5
Blind LLM-judge
10/12
Three blind judges. A wins on originality, ties or beats on quality.
judges = 3 μ = 62% p = .019

§ 03 — WORKING WITH US

For companies that refuse to converge.

We deploy our methods inside companies whose work depends on outputs the default LLM can't reach. Calibrated to your problem, your voice, your brand.

Refuse

the average voice.

For branding

When you want to escape AI slop and say what no one else would think of.

Refuse

the safe answer.

For strategy

When the upside is in being right alone, not right with everyone.

Refuse

the convergence.

For R&D

When you need to scale exploration into non-trivial, unexplored directions.
