Prompt & Circumstance Play the game

Startup Idea Generator

Roll a product, an audience, a platform, a business model and three features. Every idea gets a market fit score, worked out the same way as in the game.

Your startup idea

Todo App for Dentists, as a Browser Extension, on a Subscription.

A list that will fix your personality. Very clean inboxes. Very specific.

Features

Buddy: You’re absolutely right. Ship it.

How it works

Each idea is one of 12 product types, for one of 16 audiences, on one of 6 platforms, with one of 6 business models. That makes 6,912 combinations before any features. Three of 40 features are added to each one.

Every part carries tags such as money, trust, social or chaos. Market fit compares what you built with what the audience wants. The product type counts three times as much as anything else, so good features can help a weak idea but not save it. A score of 1.0 is average and 1.8 is perfect.

Are these real startup ideas?

Some of them. “CRM for Tradies, on Mobile, on a Subscription” is a real business. “Crypto Thing for Cats, on a Smart Fridge, paid in Tokens” is not, though someone has probably tried. Use the fit score as a joke and the combinations as a prompt for thinking.

Where the ideas come from

Prompt & Circumstance is a free idle tycoon game about a 12-year-old who ships software they have never read. You found products from these same ideas, ship releases, triage bugs and sell the company. This generator uses the game’s data and its fit formula, without the trends that shift fit while you play.
