Overview

Ideamap is a visual brainstorming platform where teams work on an open canvas and call on AI copilots to generate, expand, and organize ideas. Jakob Storjohann, also CEO of idea-management company Ideanote, launched Ideamap in 2023 out of Holte, Denmark, building it as a sibling product to Ideanote's enterprise idea-management platform.

Teams drop a challenge or prompt onto an infinite canvas, and the AI generates related themes, sub-ideas, and connections in under a minute, using GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 for text generation and Stability AI models for illustrative visuals. Rooms support real-time collaboration, so participants add sticky notes, vote, and cluster ideas together rather than merging separate documents after a session.

Ideamap fits product, marketing, and innovation teams running structured brainstorms more than solo note-taking. A free plan covers 5 rooms and 5 attendees per room with limited AI functionality; paid plans start around $7 a month for individuals and roughly $15 a month for fuller AI access and team tools, with custom Enterprise pricing for larger organizations.

Key features

  • Infinite canvas for real-time, multi-participant brainstorming sessions
  • AI-generated related themes and sub-ideas from a single prompt
  • Sticky-note clustering and voting for narrowing a large idea set
  • AI-generated illustrative visuals alongside text ideas
  • Room-based workspaces with attendee limits by plan tier
  • Integration with parent platform Ideanote for idea management handoff
