For students
Find a topic you actually care about
Being told to "pick a topic" is the hardest part of an assignment. Type the subject, the course or just something you find interesting, and Ideaful branches it into angles that stay close to the assignment and angles you wouldn't have thought of.
Try it free. Your first spark needs no account and no card.
What it can look like
Type “sleep and memory” and the ideas around it can look something like this. (An example, written to show the idea, not a recording.)

How you'd use it
Merge two things you like into one project. Critics point out the weak spots in an argument, the way a skeptic or an expert would, and Research shows what's already been written, so you pick a topic that still has something left to say.
Spark what you're curious about
A subject, a course, a question you couldn't shake. You get topics at different sizes, from a tidy essay to a bigger project, plus a few from unexpected fields.
Merge two interests
Into football and also into data? Merge them and see the project that needs both. It's the quickest way to something that feels like yours.
Check it before you commit
Review points out the weak spots in an argument. Research shows what's already been written, so you can tell an open question from a done one. Brief outlines your plan on a page.
Questions
Is using Ideaful cheating?
It doesn't write your essay. It helps you choose and sharpen a topic, which is the part you're supposed to do yourself. Check your school's rules on AI tools all the same.
Will it just hand me the obvious topics?
It gives you the close ones and the far ones. The far ones, borrowed from other fields, are usually what makes a topic yours.
Can I try it before signing up?
Yes. Type a thought in the box at the top of this page and you get a free spark, with no account and no card. Make an account when you want to keep going, and you get free starter credits to begin with.
