Using AI to Add Clarity and Make Your Ideas Famous | Muse by Clios
"You know you've got a great idea when it could double as an unforgettable headline. My team has long applied this "headline test" to make sure concepts stand strong on their own. The question is simple: Can you distill your creative notions into a compelling five-to-seven-word headline? If yes, you've got something that not only resonates but sticks. Traditionally, this was an internal exercise."
"Headlines are where clarity meets creativity. They force you to answer the toughest question: What's at the heart of this idea? If you can't crystallize it in one line, your audience won't either. Headlines also preview how the world might perceive your work. They bridge concept and coverage, internal brainstorming and external buzz. In many ways, they're the ultimate compression test. You squeeze the idea down and see if it holds its shape."
"Now, with AI, we've scaled this into a tool anyone can use. We built our Famous Idea Test, a custom GPT that pressure-tests whether your concept can land as a headline-not just in one style, but across multiple editorial voices. You're in a position to pressure test your ideas the same way. Start by finding your motivation. Here's how we turned the headline exercise into a repeatable AI tool: Set it up in ChatGPT. Go to Explore GPTs → Create a GPT. Give it a clear name and description so your team knows what it's for."
Distill concepts into compelling five-to-seven-word headlines to test whether ideas stand alone and resonate. Use the headline test as a litmus: if the core cannot be captured concisely, the idea is not ready. Headlines force clarity, reveal likely audience perception, and compress ideas into their essential form. Headlines bridge internal brainstorming and external coverage, showing how the world might perceive a concept. Scale the headline exercise with AI by building a custom GPT that pressure-tests concepts across editorial voices and provides repeatable, team-accessible headline evaluations.
