Experts across domains often fail to solve complex problems not because they lack knowledge, but because deeply embedded paradigms within their field constrain how problems are defined and what solutions are considered legitimate. While these constraints create cognitive barriers—such as implicit assumptions, disciplinary norms, and established ways of thinking—they also create emotional barriers. Challenging foundational beliefs can threaten an expert’s professional identity, evoke fear of failure, and generate discomfort with uncertainty and the unknown. In this project, we are developing a gamified, LLM-based system that guides experts through reflection and ideation, creating a psychologically safer environment for experts to experiment with unexplored directions. Through our tool, we aim to reduce both the cognitive and emotional obstacles that constrain expert innovation, opening up new possibilities for solving real-world problems across scientific research, product development, policymaking, and beyond.
