Ideas 4/8/25 - 5/18/25
4/8/2025 — Telehug
The Spark: Long-distance relationships lack physical comfort.
The Pitch: A paired device that lets you send and receive a “hug” — with pressure, warmth, or even pulsing feedback. Think of it as emotional haptics.
Why It Matters: Creates real intimacy across distances for partners, families, or isolated individuals.
4/23/2025 — Door to Other Houses
The Spark: Facetime calls feel flat and impersonal for older generations.
The Pitch: A vertical screen styled like a door. When both people open theirs, they “see” into each other’s space — like opening a portal. Designed for elders to feel presence, not just video.
Why It Matters: Reinvents connection through spatial cues and familiar metaphors.
5/9/2025 — Dog Saddle with Magnet Cowboy
The Spark: Dogs are fast. Cowboys are fun.
The Pitch: A novelty dog saddle with a small cowboy figure held in place by magnets. When your dog runs, it’s a miniature rodeo.
Why It Matters: Pure entertainment — for owners, dogs, and passersby.
5/10/2025 — Grilling Spatula Scabbard
The Spark: Grilling is a performance. Why not make it feel epic?
The Pitch: A wearable grilling spatula holster — over the back, samurai style, or belt-mounted like a sword sheath.
Why It Matters: Adds flair and function to your backyard barbecue ritual.
5/12/2025 — Creatine Ice Cream
The Spark: Supplements are boring, dessert is fun.
The Pitch: A high-protein ice cream that includes creatine — ideal for post-workout or just leveling up snack time.
Why It Matters: Merges fitness and indulgence into one cold scoop.
5/15/2025 — AI Rap Battle
The Spark: What if the rap battle never had to end?
The Pitch: Two AI models continually freestyling against each other, pulling from new vocabulary, trends, and cultural cues.
Why It Matters: Infinite entertainment and training data for lyricists and fans alike.
5/15/2025 — AI Personal Evaluation
The Spark: Self-assessment is hard. Feedback is rare.
The Pitch: An AI assistant observes your day, conversations, choices, and mood — and gives you a report: strengths, blind spots, and behavioral insights.
Why It Matters: A mirror for personal growth, tuned by observation, not opinion.
5/18/2025 — Pen Bandolier for My Bullet Journal
The Spark: Bullet journalers are always hunting for pens.
The Pitch: A soft, wearable bandolier (or strap) that fits around a journal or across the body, holding your pen lineup in place.
Why It Matters: Combines organization, style, and immediate access to your tools.
5/18/2025 — Sunscreen Paintball Gun
The Spark: Getting kids to wear sunscreen is a battle.
The Pitch: A paintball-style gun loaded with safe, colored sunscreen. Fire once, see it stick — and know they’re covered.
Why It Matters: Makes sun safety fast, visible, and (somewhat) fun.
5/18/2025 — AI Lost Friend
The Spark: What if you could talk to someone who’s no longer around?
The Pitch: An AI model trained on a person’s voice and personality (with consent) so you can hold conversations that feel like the real thing — whether for grief processing, nostalgia, or storytelling.
Why It Matters: A profound tool for memory, connection, and even legacy.
