UNBAN CODE IDEAS

Idea Bank

Winter Solstice 2025

The Idea Bank

We believe that ideas are humanity's most important capital and that artificial intelligence is a catalyst for their potential. It is urgent and necessary to start exploring this marriage, so we propose a space to experiment with the possibilities. This space is called unban code Ideas.com

Idea Bank Description

The Idea Bank is a space designed to facilitate the generation and development of individual and collective ideas. It uses advanced artificial intelligence technologies to assist users in the creation, co-creation, refinement, expansion, and collectivization of Ideas.

Justification

This tool comes to solve a specific problem: where to save ideas? Generally, people save their ideas in a notebook, a planner, a mobile note app, a .doc, or a WhatsApp group with themselves; unbancodeideas.com aims to be the tool for saving ideas.

We want ideas to have direct action, so we also apply it as a meta-idea, which is why the idea bank has features that were once ideas; the idea bank evolves and has functionality.

Key Features

Save Ideas

The system implements an optimized input flow to reduce cognitive load. It allows for agile registration of concepts through text interfaces or voice commands processed by neural transcription models (OpenAI Whisper), ensuring immediate data capture.

Analyze Ideas

The platform integrates a natural language processing engine (LLM) that acts as an analytical layer. This engine evaluates the feasibility of proposals, generates constructive criticism, and suggests technical iterations, transforming the repository into an active advisory system.

Generate Ideas

Based on principles of bisociation, the system automates the generation of synthetic ideas that complement the user's database. This works as an inspiration engine that expands the search domain and encourages the creation of new logical connections.

Search Ideas

Information retrieval moves away from the traditional keyword matching model. An embedding vector search architecture is used:

  • Vectorization: Each idea is converted into a high-dimensional dense vector using OpenAI embedding models.
  • Cosine Similarity: The search engine calculates the mathematical proximity between vectors to find ideas with similar conceptual structures, regardless of the lexicon used.
  • Match Quantification: A semantic similarity percentage is provided, allowing for the identification of conceptual duplicates or deep relationships between ideas dispersed over time.

Technical Architecture and Stack

🧠 AI Engine, Multimodality, and Vectorization

Logical Processing: Use of GPT-4o-mini for inference, feasibility analysis, and generation of bisociative ideas.

Voice Interaction (STT/TTS):

  • Speech-to-Text (STT): Integration of OpenAI Whisper API for precise idea transcription via audio input.
  • Text-to-Speech (TTS): Use of voice synthesis models (OpenAI TTS-1) for reading responses.

Embeddings API: Implementation of vectorization models to transform each idea into a numerical vector, allowing the calculation of similarity based on structural essence.

☁️ Data Persistence and Vector Search

Database: Use of MongoDB Atlas as a distributed persistence layer.

Atlas Vector Search: Configuration of vector indexes for high-speed semantic queries directly in the database.

Modern and Scalable Stack

Framework: Next.js 16 with SSR and Server Components.

Language: TypeScript for a type-safe architecture.

Infrastructure: Modular design with production-ready logging and error handling.

Idea Bank Objectives

🎯

Optimize Innovation

Improve efficiency in the idea generation process, avoiding duplication and promoting more effective use of available creative resources.

🌍

Foster Global Collaboration

Eliminate barriers to collaboration, allowing ideas from various parts of the world to be shared and developed together.

Impact Potential

🚀

For Entrepreneurs

Transforms vague concepts into structured business proposals. The AI acts as a co-founder that never sleeps.

🔬

For Researchers

Captures emerging hypotheses and explores interdisciplinary connections.

🎨

For Creativos

Breaks creative blocks with unexpected bisociations that your conscious mind would never consider.

🌍

For Changemakers

Develops solutions to complex social problems. Each idea is a seed for systemic impact.

Project Philosophy

"The best ideas are not born fully formed. They emerge from the collision of concepts, constant iteration, and the willingness to explore the unknown."

Every line of code is written with the intention that this tool be open source, scalable, and accessible—because the best ideas to change the world can come from anyone, anywhere.

Ready to Amplify your Ideas?

Join the experiment. Save your first idea. Let AI surprise you with connections you never imagined.
