Clarify AI

Clarify AI is a web app for the moment before the slide deck. You bring a half formed question, the kind you would normally talk through with a colleague, and the tool pushes back with clarifying questions until the problem is stated in plain terms. Then it builds an issue tree: a branching map of the sub questions that have to be answered.

The pitch is borrowed from consulting. Strategy teams break a big question into smaller ones that don't overlap and together cover the whole problem, which is where the MECE issue tree idea comes from. Clarify AI automates that first pass, so the structure exists before you spend a day in a workshop. The maker has been open that the product is a thin layer over large language models, and the value sits in the workflow around the model rather than the model itself.

The limits matter as much as the features. There's no published pricing page, no public API and no team workspace to speak of. Output quality depends on how much context you feed it, and a generated tree can look convincing while resting on weak assumptions. Treat it as a first draft of your thinking, not the final answer.

Getting Started

1. Open clarify-ai.com and click Try It Now. The app runs in the browser and needs an account.
2. Type the problem as you would say it out loud. One or two sentences is enough to start.
3. Answer the follow up questions the tool asks. This step is where the vague version becomes a usable brief.
4. Review the generated issue tree, then edit branches, add your own insights or run targeted research on a branch that looks thin.
5. Turn the finished structure into an AI notebook with curated prompts, then copy the material into your doc, deck or another model.
