AI Brainstorming

Standalone MVP for multi-agent idea review at /idea.

Users enter an email and an idea, choose 5 / 12 / 16 rounds, receive a resume link, and get a rendered Markdown result by email when the review completes.

Features

• Public /idea UI with its own neutral theme
• Token-based session resume, no user accounts
• SQLite persistence under data/
• OpenRouter-compatible model calls for Claude / Gemini / Grok / ChatGPT / DeepSeek seats
• Optional SearXNG evidence bundle
• Optional SMTP email with rendered result and .md attachment
• Markdown export endpoint
• Basic in-memory rate limits for public MVP protection

Setup

cp .env.example .env
npm run install:all
npm run build

Run the server:

npm start

Run the Vite dev server separately:

cd web
npm run dev

For production, build web/ and server/; the server serves web/dist when present. Put it behind a reverse proxy and set PUBLIC_URL to the public origin. If your proxy overwrites X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP, set TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=true so per-IP rate limits use the real client IP.

Environment

No secrets are committed. Runtime data lives in data/, which is ignored by git.

Minimum useful config:

• OPENROUTER_API_KEY
• PUBLIC_URL
• TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=true when deployed behind a trusted reverse proxy
• SMTP variables if you want emails delivered
