Core Process

核心流程

Step 1: Idea Extraction

步骤1:创意提取

From user input, identify:
  • Core Concept: What is the product/feature?
  • Problem: What problem does it solve?
  • Target Users: Who experiences this problem?
  • Value Proposition: Why is this solution better?
If information is missing, ask targeted questions:
  • "What specific problem are you trying to solve?"
  • "Who experiences this problem most acutely?"
  • "What alternatives exist today?"
  • "Why is now the right time for this solution?"
从用户输入中识别以下信息:
  • 核心概念:该产品/功能是什么?
  • 解决的问题:它能解决什么问题?
  • 目标用户:谁正面临这个问题?
  • 价值主张:该解决方案的优势是什么?
若信息缺失,可提出针对性问题:
  • "你试图解决的具体问题是什么?"
  • "谁受这个问题的影响最大?"
  • "目前有哪些替代方案?"
  • "为什么现在推出这个解决方案恰逢其时?"
