Variants and blind compare

Ask for variants and each option is planned as its own direction, built independently, and shown unnamed — you pick with your eyes, not your biases.

Why it matters

AI tools love to offer 'variations' that are the same idea recolored. Real variants disagree: different layout, different mood, different structure — then blind compare strips the identity of which agent or prompt made which, so the winner won on merit. The reason you give for the pick feeds the next turn.

How it works

  1. 1Ask for 2–4 variantsThe variant set card on a run plans each option as its own direction — genuinely different takes, floor-checked before they reach you.
  2. 2Judge them blindVariants render unnamed. ←/→ picks a side, T ties, S skips — keyboard-fast judgement on the picture itself.
  3. 3Say whyA pick asks for a reason — one line is enough — which becomes context for the next turn.
  4. 4Fork from any variantThe runner-up isn't lost: fork a losing variant into its own version line and keep both.

Capabilities

  • 2–4 independently-planned directions per brief — different structure, not recolors
  • Blind judgement: variants render unnamed, ←/→/T/S keyboard verdicts
  • Pick reasons feed the next turn's context
  • Losing variants fork into their own version lines
  • Compare mode re-renders edits across devices and themes and verifies both

FAQ

How are variants different from re-rolling?

A re-roll retries the same direction. A variant set plans 2–4 different directions deliberately — the diversity is designed in, then floor-checked before you see it.

What does 'blind' mean here?

You don't see which variant came from which plan or agent until you've picked. The judgement is visual, not a bet on a name.

Can different variants use different agents?

Yes — the driving agent is a per-turn choice, so variant runs can be driven by different CLIs answering the same brief.
