Unlock your infinite creativity with DesignSparks! Developed by The National Centre for Creativity enabled by AI (CebAI), this innovative web-app combines AI technology with proven creative problem-solving techniques to generate unique design ideas. Whether you’re a service, product, UX/UI designer, or stakeholder, DesignSparks is the collaborator you can count on.
Using DesignSparks is easy. Simply open the app and input your design problem or idea. You can type it in, paste a relevant URL, or even upload a PDF. Then, hit the ‘generate sparks’ button to discover a diverse range of perspectives and new ideas related to your problem. And if you’re in the mood for something different, just refresh the sparks for a new selection.
But DesignSparks doesn’t stop there. It allows you to further customize your sparks by clicking on extracted topics, selecting a creativity method from the tabs, and adjusting the topic settings to analyze rare, common, or random themes. This way, you can focus your idea generation and explore the possibilities that resonate with you the most.
What sets DesignSparks apart from other AI tools is its interactive prompts, curated knowledge, and insights components. Unlike chatbots that simply scrape existing information from the internet, DesignSparks challenges its human users to co-create new solutions. It is a powerful tool that can contribute to improved productivity, competitiveness, and critical thinking.
DesignSparks was funded by Research England, with contributions from City, University of London, and over 20 industrial partners, totaling £7.6m. This prestigious project is set to run from 2020 to 2024 and aims to become self-funding through licensing and consultancy services. It is a high-profile investment by Research England and one of the largest grants won by the University.
So, whether you’re looking for inspiration, seeking new design ideas, or wanting to stimulate your creative thinking, DesignSparks is here to supercharge your creativity. Get started today and discover the infinite possibilities that await!
