Step 1

Company

Start with your business reality. Define your capabilities, constraints, and what makes you unique. This grounds every idea in what you can actually build.

  • Business model
  • Unique capabilities
  • goals
  • Hard constraints

Step 2

Target customer

Build empathy for a real person, not an abstract market segment. Bandos even generates a portrait to help you visualize who you're helping, so your solutions stay grounded in their reality.

  • Demographics & context
  • Pain points & frustrations
  • AI-generated portrait

Step 3

Opportunity

Define the exact problem your customer faces: when do they hit this frustration, what are they trying to do, and what would success look like for them. This step separates products people pay for from products people ignore.

  • Situation trigger
  • Desired action
  • Expected outcome

Step 4

Ideas

Ideas evolve through four levels of progressive concretization. Start broad with high-level directions, then progressively refine into specific, detailed solutions. Bandos generates suggestions at each level, helping you explore a wide range of possibilities before committing.

Your team votes at every level

At each level, the AI generates multiple suggestions. Your team distributes points to vote on the most promising directions, or add their own ideas. The winning suggestions branch into the next level of detail.

Step 5

Pressure-Test the Idea

Before you commit, AI reviewers role-play as stakeholders and critique your idea from perspectives your team may lack. Pick from preset roles or define your own. Bandos generates structured feedback so you can refine or discard weak ideas before the session ends.

  • Each reviewer rates the idea and raises specific concerns
  • Concrete suggestions show how to fix weaknesses on the spot
  • A "would ask" section surfaces the questions stakeholders will inevitably raise
  • An aggregate team rating gives a quick signal on idea strength
