Ainna

What it is

Ainna is AI for brainstorming and evaluating product ideas. It helps product teams and founders decide what to build and why before building anything. Users bring an idea, feature request or problem, and Ainna frames it, brainstorms alternatives, profiles users, sizes the market, maps competition, and grades every concept on ten dimensions with reasoning shown. It brings in trusted experts for feedback and generates documents including PRDs, pitch decks and one-pagers. For organisations, Ainna Enterprise provides the Opportunity Discovery System for innovation at scale. The product is built by Innovation Mode Limited in Dublin on The Innovation Mode methodology published by Springer Nature.

Questions from the bench

What is Ainna, and who is it for?

Ainna is AI for brainstorming and evaluating product ideas that helps product teams and founders decide what to build and why before anything is built. It frames ideas, brainstorms alternatives, profiles users, sizes markets, maps competition, grades concepts on ten dimensions with reasoning shown, and brings in trusted experts. It works for product managers deciding what to build next, product teams and heads of innovation for a steady flow of well-framed opportunities, and founders grading concepts before committing six months. It is made by Innovation Mode Limited in Dublin on The Innovation Mode methodology.

How is Ainna different from Jira Product Discovery or Productboard?

Jira Product Discovery and Productboard organize discovery by collecting ideas, feedback, prioritizing and planning roadmaps. Ainna does the discovery work itself: it frames ideas, brainstorms alternatives, sizes markets, maps competition, grades concepts on ten dimensions with reasoning shown, and brings in experts to challenge results. Many teams use both: Ainna to decide what is worth building, and their roadmap tool to plan and track it.

Can AI judge startup ideas honestly?

Yes. An idea is good when it solves a real problem for people you can reach, in a way you can deliver, with enough demand to matter. The Judge checks each of those across ten dimensions, gives a letter grade, shows reasoning behind every score and names the dimension holding the grade back. A general AI startup validator that scores a prompt grades only what was typed, while The Judge can give a D and tell you what would raise it. A grade is an assessment showing where ideas are weak, not proof; only real customers can confirm demand.

What happens to my work when my trial ends or I cancel?

Your work stays and opens read-only. Nothing new can be started, but you can still download the one-pager, pitch deck or brainstorm deck you made. Subscribe again any time to carry on. To delete your account and everything in it permanently, go to Account settings. Accounts without a paid plan are deleted after 12 months without a sign-in.

How can a product team brainstorm product ideas with AI?

Start from a framed opportunity, not a blank page. Brainstorming Mode opens the solution space around it: it develops the alternatives you hadn't considered, keeps the rest as options, and works with you to turn the promising ones into concepts. Then the Judge grades each concept on the same ten dimensions, so the brainstorm ends in a ranked shortlist with the reasoning shown, not a wall of sticky notes. Your first idea is rarely the best one; this is how you find the one that is.
