Introducing Slido Ideas 💡

The wait is over…brainstorming with your teams just got easier, more productive and more efficient.

No more sorting through messy notes and trying to organize a way forward after a meeting. The new Slido Ideas feature does all the heavy lifting for you. It’s a brand new poll type designed to help teams brainstorm, organize and prioritize ideas in real time.
 

What is “Slido Ideas”?

Slido Ideas is a new interactive poll type where participants can:

• Submit their own ideas
• React to ideas from others using emojis 👍 👏 💡 💚 🔥
• Easily identify what resonates most with the group

Hosts can then use AI-powered categorization to automatically group similar ideas into clear categories, making it easier to focus the discussion and move from brainstorming to decision-making...faster than ever.

Why teams will love it

Traditional brainstorming can quickly become overwhelming, especially in larger or hybrid meetings. Slido Ideas helps simplify the process so your team can focus on the conversation, not the manual work.

With Slido Ideas, you can:

• 💡 Give everyone a voice
  Participants can contribute ideas in real time, helping quieter team members share their thoughts too.
   
• 👍 See what resonates instantly
  Emoji reactions help the best ideas rise to the top naturally.
   
• 🤖 Let AI do the organizing
  Automatically group related ideas into categories with just one click.
   
• ⚡ Move from ideas to actions faster
  Spend less time sorting feedback and more time discussing next steps.

Perfect for:

• Team retrospectives
• Workshops and brainstorming sessions
• Strategic planning
• Project kick-offs
• Training and facilitation sessions

Whether you’re collecting feedback, aligning on priorities or generating new ideas, Slido Ideas helps keep the conversation structured, collaborative and easy to follow.
