Just like human meetings: one person thinking until exhausted is inferior to multiple people thinking independently then consolidating. Brainstorm mode is throwing the same question to multiple Agents, letting each answer independently, then having a moderator integrate consensus and divergence.

User View
Agent A · Product View
Optimize the onboarding flow to reduce Day 1 churn. Add personalized recommendations to help users find value faster.
Agent B · Data View
Analyze churn point data — Day 3 and Day 7 are critical. Recommend designing re-engagement strategies targeting these two points.
Agent C · User View
The most common user feedback is "I don't know what to do with it." The features are there, the core problem is that value isn't being communicated effectively.
Moderator Summary
After three Agents independently thought, the moderator synthesized:
Consensus: The core issue is value communication — users haven't felt what the product can do for them
Consensus: Onboarding is the top-priority improvement area
⚡ Divergence: Data-driven (B) or user-interview-driven (C) to determine the improvement direction
⚡ Divergence: Personalized recommendations first (A) or simplify the core flow first (C)

Why Is This Better Than One Agent Thinking Alone?
Avoid Tunnel Thinking
One Agent follows a single line of thought. Multiple Agents starting from different roles naturally produce different perspectives.
Discover Blind Spots
What Agent A can't think of, Agent B may be exactly good at. Multi-angle coverage means fewer blind spots.
⚖️ Divergence Is Valuable
If all three Agents agree, the direction is clear. If there's divergence, that means the problem warrants deeper discussion.
⚡ Parallel Efficiency
Three Agents thinking simultaneously: total time = the slowest one's time, not tripled. Thinking tasks are naturally parallelizable.
Practical tip: Each Agent must think independently — it cannot see other Agents' answers. Just like the rule for human brainstorming: "write individually first, then discuss together." If Agent B can see A's answer, it gets biased, and the brainstorm loses its value.
Just like human meetings: multiple independent thinkers who then consolidate is better than one person thinking until exhausted. The key to brainstorm mode is independence and aggregation: each Agent answers independently, and the moderator is responsible for extracting consensus and marking divergence.
