ThinkStorm is your intelligent voice-powered thinking buddy designed to help you organize thoughts, take notes, and get answers through natural conversation. Simply speak to ThinkStorm, like you would speak to a friend on the phone, and tell ThinkStorm if you want to prepare notes.
ThinkStorm will get to know you the more you use it!
Working on a story? Narrate incoherent story ideas, ask for inputs and feedback, and get a structured outline.
Thinking of you next scientific breakthrough? Throw your ideas at ThinkStorm, ask questions to improve them, and create a final summary.
Recounting a memorable experience? Tell ThinkStorm about it and have it create a journal entry for you.
Have too many things to do? Brainstorm your plans for the day, and ThinkStorm will create a structured list for you.
Visiting a new city? Talk to ThinkStorm about your travel interests and constraints and have it create an itinerary.
ThinkStorm is designed for you to organize your ideas and access all functions in a hands-free and eyes-free way. Just start the app, hit the call button, and start talking. Both the web and iOS (coming soon) versions can be used anytime, whether on a walk, on a drive, or just sitting at home. The web version can be used on iOS on Safari or Chrome.
ThinkStorm will store everything locally (your notes and the memory of you and your conversations) unless you hit "Sync Account" in Settings. Syncing allows you to access your data from other devices. At any given time, you can log in from up to two devices. See our Privacy Policy for details.
1. Account Setup
Sign up with your email address or log in if you already have an account
Grant microphone permissions when prompted
2. Basic Operation
1. Open the app and hit the call button to start talking.
2. Speak naturally - like you would on the phone.
3. ThinkStorm will respond to you after a preset time (2 seconds)
4. While there is no need to mute, you can tap the microphone button. Generally, ThinkStorm is smart enough to know what part of your speech was directed at it.
5. Hit the End Call button when done.
ThinkStorm will get to know you through conversations and will be able to recall previous conversations. You must hit the End Call button for it to evolve based on the conversation. If you don't want it to remember a conversation, start the call in "Incognito Mode".
ThinkStorm responds in a regular conversation, but it can also perform other operations beyond talking back. It can:
Have a conversation: Just say "Hello" or ask anything - "Which places can I visit in Athens in two days?"
Take on a persona/ speaking style: Say something like "I would like you to play a Greek tourist guide ... I am a traveler ..."
Recall prior conversations: Say something like, "Remember I told you about my trip to Europe ..."
Take Notes: Say something like "Create a note about my travel plans. I am going to Europe ..."
Modify Notes: Say something like "Update my plans to include your suggested places in Athens"
Search Notes: If you moved on to a different topic or restarted the App and want to work on a previously created note, say "Find my note about..." or "Do I have a note about...?" ThinkStorm will respond with what it found, you can then ask questions ("Did I include my Athens plans?") or modify it.
Question about ThinkStorm: You can directly ask about the functionalities of issues about the app. Say something like, "how can I upgrade my subscription on this app?"
Get to know you: It will tailor the conversation to you the more you use it. If you don't want it to remember a particular call, turn on the "Incognito Mode".

Your usage is measured in "Braincells" - each word you speak or ThinkStorm includes in the response counts as one Braincell. Each word ThinkStorm has to remember to respond to you also counts as one Braincell (longer the conversations faster the Braincell consumption)
Free: 6,000 Braincells per month
Pro: 200,000 Braincells per month ($3.99/month)
Unlimited: Unlimited Braincells per month ($6.99/month on web, $7.99 on iOS)
Unlimited Tier provides access to additional capabilities
Web Search: Up to 30 responses per month that require knowledge of the internet beyond basic intelligence
Expressive Voice: ThinkStorm will adopt a speaking style based on the personality you assign to it. Alternatively, you can describe the speaking style (including accent). Up to 20,000 spoken characters per month.
To update your subscription, go to Settings page and click Edit Subscription.
Access settings via the ⚙️ icon to customize:
Language: The language of the conversation. The default is English, but you can switch to Spanish, Italian or Hindi.
Continuous Listening
On: ThinkStorm listens to you throughout the call
Off: ThinkStorm only listens to you once you say a start phrase (default: "Hey Storm")
Respond After: Duration of silence for which ThinkStorm will wait before responding
If set to the highest value, ThinkStorm will wait for you to say the end keyphrase (default:"over and out"). Use this setup if you don't want ThinkStorm to interrupt at all.
Quick Response (Experimental feature): ThinkStorm will respond as it is thinking, resulting in a quicker response time. (There are known issues when using this with Hindi)
Long Conversation Memory
On (more Braincells): ThinkStorm will try to contextualize the response based on the complete conversation so far. Each response consumes Braincells corresponding to the whole
Off (saves Braincells): ThinkStorm will only remember a summary of the conversation if it goes too long.
Higher Intelligence
On (3x Braincells): ThinkStorm will be better at following conversations and providing assistance
Off (1x Braincells): ThinkStorm will use its basic intelligence to follow conversations and respond. This is sufficient for most cases.
