A real engine, not a single prompt

Why our runs finish in minutes, not hours.

IdeaTwister is not a chat window calling one model. It is a Python-orchestrated engine that fires 30+ specialized agents the moment you hit start, all running side by side. Strategy agents scout adjacent markets, an Idea Expander writes each pivot, a Devil's Advocate stress-tests every claim, a Deep Research pass builds a 13-section dossier on every top pick, and an Action Plan writer prescribes the next 30 days. They run as a swarm, not a queue. What would take a human consultant weeks, or a sequential chat session four hours, our engine finishes in minutes.

Frequently Asked

What is a Pivot?

A Pivot is a fully written, ranked variation of your original idea. Each one names a specific business, a specific customer, and a specific go-to-market mechanic. It comes with a one-liner, target customer, what makes it different, an honest list of weaknesses, a score across 5 commercial dimensions, and a short note on how it beats your original idea. A single run produces 6 to 50+ of them depending on the tier you pick.

What is an Angle?

An Angle is one of 16 distinct ways to rethink your business. Examples include a different customer segment, a flipped pricing model, a transplant into another industry, or a different distribution channel. Each angle is independent and produces its own batch of pivots, so you see your idea reframed through 16 separate angles rather than 50+ versions of the same frame.

What is a deep dive?

The deep dive is the full validation layer applied to an idea: a Devil's Advocate critique, a 90-day action plan, a deep research dossier (real competitors, pricing, regulatory, a customer interview script, top 3 risks), and a personal closing memo written directly to you. Quick Twist applies the deep dive to your Original Idea. Full Twist applies it to your Original Idea plus the strongest pivot (2 deep dives total). Deep Twist applies it to your Original Idea plus the 3 strongest pivots (4 deep dives total).

What is the Launch Kit, and which tier includes it?

The Launch Kit is your first 90 days, done for you: the actual posts, emails, 90-day roadmap, and pricing plan written for your exact idea, plus a 15-prompt AI Prompt Pack. It fills the Growth and Execution tabs of your dashboard. Quick Twist and Full Twist leave those tabs locked. Deep Twist unlocks the full Launch Kit. See everything inside.

How do I know which tier matches my stage?

Quick Twist ($19) is for when you have a specific idea and want a deep validation of it, plus 6 ranked pivots to compare against. Full Twist ($29) widens the exploration to 15+ ranked pivots across 8 angles, with the deep dive applied to the strongest pivot. Deep Twist ($79) is the widest search: 50+ ranked pivots across all 15+ angles, with the deep dive applied to the 3 strongest. Same engine, same dashboard, only the scope and the deep-dive count change.

Is there a free trial?

No free trial. Quick Twist is $19, which is the cheapest way to try the engine on your own idea. If a run fails before delivering a dashboard, the order is refunded automatically.

What is your refund policy?

Failed runs are refunded automatically through LemonSqueezy. Refunds usually land within a few business days, depending on your bank. Completed runs that delivered a dashboard are not eligible for a refund. Full details on the refund policy page.

Is the purchase a subscription?

No. You pay per run ($19, $29, or $79 depending on tier). No recurring charges. Run when you want a new shortlist, stop whenever.

Are there any ongoing costs beyond the run price?

No. Each run is a flat price. We cover the AI provider infrastructure out of the run price. No API key. No tokens to budget. No surprises.

Can I use the pivots commercially?

Yes. The angles, pivots, and dashboards belong to you. Use them in your own products, pitches, fundraising decks, or businesses.

What happens if you update the engine?

Improvements to the hosted engine are automatic. You always get the latest pivot the next time you run.

Can I run the same idea twice?

Yes. Each run is priced independently. The engine is non-deterministic, so two runs on the same prompt will surface different pivots. Some founders use this as a second opinion on a borderline idea.
