💡 How to Build an AI-Powered Idea Bank That Never Runs Dry

Let me guess...

You open a doc to write a post.
Your fingers hover.
Your brain? Empty.

So you scroll.
And 40 minutes later you’re on some guy’s tweet thread about “how he built a 7-figure ice bath brand.”

Jason — you don’t need more scrolling.
You need a system.
A system that stores your sparks and helps you refine them later.
That system is called...

👉 The AI-Powered Idea Bank

And I’m going to show you exactly how to build it — with free tools, 15 minutes a week, and no need to be “creative on command.”

☕️ The Story: From “Post-Panic” to Peace of Mind

I used to stress about what to post every day.
I’d sit down, open X or ConvertKit, and just... stare.

But then I realized: my problem wasn’t idea creation.
It was idea capture.

I was having ideas in the shower.
On walks.
During client calls.

But I wasn’t saving them.

Even worse?
The few I did save were scattered across 6 apps and a dozen sticky notes.

So I built a better system — powered by AI.
One that lives in Google Docs. Feeds itself. Grows over time.

Now? I sit down.
Open it.
Pick one.
Post. Done.

Here’s how to do it 👇

🛠️ The 5-Step Idea Bank System (That Thinks for You)

1. Set Up a Google Doc with These 4 Sections

Use a simple doc with these headers:

• 💡 Raw Idea

• 🧠 Category or Topic

• ✍️ AI Expansions / Drafts

• ✅ Posted? Yes/No

This becomes your living archive.

2. Dump All Your Existing Notes Into It

Pull from:

• Old posts

• DMs

• Podcast thoughts

• Customer questions

• Sticky notes or voice memos

Even messy thoughts go in. This isn’t about polish — it’s about capture.

3. Use AI to Expand & Repurpose

Prompt ChatGPT with:

Let AI help you see the angles you didn’t even know were in there.

4. Schedule a Weekly “Idea Harvest” Session

Every Friday (or whatever works), revisit your doc.

Ask AI:

Pick one. Build. Post. Done.

5. Reuse & Filter

Use headings like:

• ✅ “Used”

• 🧪 “Needs Work”

• ⭐️ “High-Engagement”

This turns your doc into a searchable goldmine — not just a scratchpad.

💡 The Big Lesson

Your best content doesn’t come from waiting on perfect inspiration.

It comes from collecting, not forcing ideas.

AI helps you shape them.
But your system helps you show up.

So stop trying to “be creative” every day.

Build a doc that thinks for you 💼

🧘‍♂️ Repeatable Proverb:

💬 What To Do Next:

✅ Open a fresh Google Doc
✅ Add those 4 headers
✅ Paste in 3 rough ideas right now (yes, now)
✅ Then ask ChatGPT to expand one for you

Do that? You’ve already built your first version.
Refine it later — but start today.

📌 Save this for your next blank page panic:

• 💭 Comment with your favorite way to capture ideas

• ⭐️ Star this for Friday planning

• 📤 Forward to a creator friend who says “I never know what to post”
