What does Ideately do?

Ideately is a collaborative platform designed to help teams generate, organize, and decide on ideas together. It provides a digital space where participants can contribute ideas in various formats—text, voice notes, sketches, or uploaded files like images and Figma designs. The core function is to move a group from initial ideation through to a clear decision, using structured templates for popular workshop formats like Crazy 8s, SWOT analysis, and retrospectives.

What makes Ideately stand out is its integration of AI as a collaborative partner. The platform features 'AI superheroes'—six distinct AI personas, like the thoughtful 'Laura', who join sessions to offer unique insights and challenge assumptions. It also automates the facilitation process, guiding teams through each phase of a workshop, and uses AI to analyze contributions and surface common themes. Teams can collaborate in real-time with turn-based sessions or asynchronously, with built-in voting tools to evaluate ideas one at a time for clarity.

This tool is a strong fit for product teams, innovation managers, and anyone responsible for running workshops. It's particularly useful for remote or hybrid teams that need a structured yet flexible way to brainstorm product features, conduct post-mortem retrospectives, or run strategic planning sessions like a Blue Ocean Canvas. By handling the logistics and injecting AI-powered perspectives, Ideately lets teams focus purely on the creative and critical thinking work.
