The AI Creativity Multiplier

A practice for using AI without losing the original thinking.

AI is the most powerful creative tool ever built. It is also the fastest way to make your thinking sound like everyone else's. Both are true.

This 12-page whitepaper is the practice for using the right half. Five steps. Eight prompts you can copy. The thinking stays yours.

What's inside

• Why AI output sounds the same, and what to do about it
• The convergent vs. divergent distinction (and why order matters)
• A five-step practice: Prime, Frame, Diverge, Converge, Be the broken ant
• Eight ready-to-use prompts across remote work, urban transportation, financial education, healthcare, energy, and professional development
• An implementation checklist that fits on one page

This is the practice Phil uses with executive teams to keep AI from collapsing original thinking into the average of its training data. Read once. Use on your next real project. Come back when you need to remember why the order matters.

Free, and stays free.
