Brainstorm with Wren on the Ideas page

When you're staring at a blank Ideas page, Wren can help you think out loud and turn loose thoughts into saved ideas. This lives in the Brainstorm with Wren drawer, separate from the chat you use to draft a post.

Open the drawer

On the Ideas page, look for the slim vertical rail labeled Brainstorm with Wren along the left edge, just past the navigation sidebar. It shows the Wren bird and a small number tracking how many past conversations you have.

To open the chat drawer, either:

1. Click anywhere on the rail, or
2. Press Cmd + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows).

The drawer slides in from the left. Close it anytime with the X in the top corner, by pressing Esc, or by clicking outside it.

Chat to generate ideas

The drawer is a focused chat with Wren. Type in the composer at the bottom ("Ask Wren, or paste a half-baked idea…") and press Enter to send. Use Shift + Enter for a line break.

If you're not sure where to start, the empty state offers two starter buttons:

• Give me 3 ideas anchored in today's signals.
• Give me 3 timeless ideas I could write about.

Click one and Wren responds right away. When you ask for ideas anchored in signals, Wren draws on your Signals (you'll briefly see a "Searching signals…" note while it looks). Some ideas come with a View source link back to the signal that inspired them.

Save ideas with one click

When Wren proposes ideas, each one appears as its own card inside the chat. On a card you can:

• Click Save to ideas to add it straight to your idea bank. The button switches to Saved, the drawer closes, and the new idea opens in your Ideas list so you can keep working on it.
• Click Show details to expand starting angles, why it fits you, and why your audience would care.

If a suggestion looks a lot like something you already have, Wren flags it as similar — you can still save it if it's meaningfully different.

Keep or start conversations

Two controls sit at the top of the drawer:

• The clock icon opens your past conversations so you can pick up an earlier brainstorm.
• The plus icon starts a fresh conversation.

A daily limit applies

Brainstorming has a daily message limit. As you approach it, a strip appears showing how many messages you have left that day. If you reach the limit, Wren lets you know it resets at midnight.

How this differs from writing chat

The Brainstorm drawer is for generating and triaging ideas — exploring directions and stocking your idea bank. It does not draft a finished post. When you're ready to write, open an idea and start a writing session, where Wren helps you outline, draft, and refine the actual post.
