Abstract: INSIGHTS is an innovative digital tool for discovering creative opportunities from large volumes of project-related information. It goes beyond generative AI chatbots by combining technologies that operationalise different characteristics of an integrated model of creative processes and outcomes. The model codifies creative processes and the characteristics of creative outcomes. The tool’s potential has been demonstrated during projects to explore next-generation product features for a line of domestic appliances and alternative uses of bi-products from power generation. This seminar will introduce the INSIGHTS tool and its design, demonstrate it on a current project example, and explore opportunities for businesses to support their innovation processes using it.
