Ralph Ideate

The Business Idea Machine

ralph-ideate is an autonomous AI agent loop that ideates, extends, researches, scrutinizes, and repeats. It is the ralph loop for business ideas.

Installation

uv tool install ralph-ideate

ralph-ideate init

Getting Started

1. Create a brainstorming domain

/ralph-ideate.create B2B services that agentic AI can fully automate end-to-end

2. Explore ideas

/ralph-ideate.explore @ideate/agentic-ai-agencies

3. Refine a domain description

/ralph-ideate.refine @ideate/agentic-ai-agencies

How It Works

Each iteration reads the domain state fresh and decides which phase to execute:

1. Ideate - Generate and capture new candidate ideas
2. Research - Validate pain points with real-world evidence
3. Scrutinize - Critically evaluate viability and differentiation
4. Decide - Verify, revise, or discard each candidate

Features

• Systematic exploration: Covers ground broadly rather than pursuing singular solutions
• Interactive steering: Inject thoughts and feedback during active processing to redirect focus
• Evidence-based validation: Ideas must survive research with real user complaints, not assumptions
• Multi-pass refinement: Each iteration deepens understanding rather than forcing premature convergence
