Take a class project, a research question or a first invention idea beyond the first sketch.
Try IP Guru free: brainstorm your idea with AI into an invention
IPGuru is an AI workspace for developing ideas. Brainstorm with Nova, your lead AI guide, to explore what your idea could become and what you need to find out next.
Free account. No credit card. Up to four ideas.
Works best from your laptop or tablet.
Bring an idea you want to explore
People with years of experience
Turn a problem you have seen at work or in daily life into an idea you can examine.
Anyone with a real idea
Describe a problem and your possible solution. You do not need a finished design to begin.
What brainstorming with Nova does
Start with your own words. Use the conversation to expand, question and sharpen your idea.
Explain the idea
Tell Nova what you want to make, who it could help and the problem it should solve. Nova helps you ask clearer questions.
Look at it from different angles
Thinking frames such as SCAMPER and design thinking help you explore alternatives, spot assumptions and consider trade-offs.
Make the concept easier to discuss
Create concept images and refine the explanation. Use them to consider possibilities; they do not prove that a design will work.
Decide what is worth pursuing
You keep the judgment. Question the AI suggestions, choose a direction and identify what still needs research or testing.
A free account can keep up to four active ideas. See account limits and paid options.
Start with brainstorming
IPGuru is not a lawyer. A brainstorm is not a patent filing, a promise of patent protection or proof that an invention is ready to build.
The free account is for exploring ideas. Projects and the FORGE workflow are separate paid steps. You can decide about those later.
One idea: Solar Shelter
Could a backpack combine carrying space, portable shelter and solar device charging for disaster recovery?
Concept from an IPGuru brainstorm, not a finished product. These AI-generated images explore an idea; they do not show a tested device or a real deployment.
Carrying space, shelter and power all compete for room and weight. The brainstorm helps make those trade-offs visible. Fit, weather protection and charging performance still need validation.
