# Using AI for Idea Validation

How many unfinished ideas are sitting in your notebook (or in my case, many, many notebooks), waiting for *“someday”*?

Before you pour time or money into one, let AI stress-test it.

[AI Quick Tip #120](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/ai-quick-tips-120-prompt-framework-t.a.g) introduced the T.A.G. framework (Task, Action, Goal). It’s perfect for this:

- Task: Assess whether the idea is viable.
- Action: Explain risks and cheap tests.
- Goal: Help decide if it’s worth pursuing this week.

## Try these sample prompts:

### Market Validation

- **Task**: Evaluate whether this business idea solves a meaningful problem.
- **Action**: Identify the target audience, the problem being solved, three strengths, three weaknesses, and the biggest assumption that needs to be tested. Suggest one low-cost experiment to validate demand.
- **Goal**: Help me decide whether this idea is worth pursuing.

### Devil’s Advocate

- **Task**: Critique this idea as if you're an experienced investor who has seen hundreds of similar businesses.
- **Action**: Explain why this idea might fail, what warning signs concern you, what evidence would increase your confidence, and how the concept could be improved.
- **Goal**: Expose blind spots before I invest significant time or money.

### Customer Perspective

- **Task**: Evaluate this idea from the perspective of my ideal customer.
- **Action**: Explain what would immediately grab their attention, what objections they might have, what questions they'd ask before buying, and what would convince them to move forward.
- **Goal**: Determine whether the idea creates enough value to solve a real problem.

### Business Reality Check

- **Task**: Assess the business viability of this idea.
- **Action**: Analyze the competitive landscape, barriers to entry, potential revenue opportunities, likely risks, and the easiest way to launch a minimum viable version.
- **Goal**: Decide whether this idea deserves additional planning.

 

This doesn’t guarantee success. But it can help to prevent you from chasing ideas that should stay on the Post-It wall.
