What people use Wondermaxx for

8 situations, worked through end to end — the mode that fits, the steps to run, and the shape of what comes out. Find the one closest to your week.

Independent consultant

The proposal you keep rewriting

The situation

You have just come off a discovery call. You know exactly what the client needs and why — and now you owe them a written point of view that makes the case.

Why it stalls

The thinking is done, but it lives in your head and in fragments. Writing it up takes three hours you do not have, and the version you eventually produce sounds like every other consultant’s deck.

Expert Interview

You have a diagnosis and a framework. Expert Interview treats you as the guest and asks what a good interviewer would, so the argument assembles itself out loud before you write a word.

How to run it

  1. 1Start an Expert Interview and name the client’s situation as the topic.
  2. 2Talk through the diagnosis as if explaining it to a colleague, not to the client.
  3. 3When it asks where you part ways with the obvious answer, say it plainly — that becomes your opening.
  4. 4Compile, then lift the finished piece straight into the point-of-view section of the proposal.

What comes out

A written point of view that sounds like you and is specific to this client: a title, a hook built from your disagreement with the conventional answer, your framework laid out in order, and a closing takeaway. Edit for the client’s name and send.

One sitting, instead of an afternoon you did not have.

Founder building an audience

A month of posts from one conversation

The situation

You have opinions about your market and no time to write. Posting has stalled at once a fortnight, and the posts that do go out are safe, generic and get no traction.

Why it stalls

You are trying to write in a voice that is not the one you use when you talk. The result reads like marketing because you wrote it as marketing.

Guided Interview

Guided Interview is the most forgiving way in. You answer questions about things you already believe, and it finds the through-line you would have struggled to name.

How to run it

  1. 1Start a Guided Interview on the single opinion you would defend in an argument.
  2. 2Answer out loud and long — say the unpopular version, not the LinkedIn version.
  3. 3Compile once you have a strong through-line.
  4. 4Publish the LinkedIn format as-is and hold the thread and newsletter versions for later in the month.

What comes out

One interview produces a long-form post, a LinkedIn version, a thread, a newsletter draft and short captions — five pieces of content from one twenty-minute conversation, all in the same voice.

A month of posting from a single sitting.

Trainer or expert with a method

The course you have been meaning to build

The situation

You have explained the same thing to dozens of people over the years. Several have told you it should be a course. You have a notes app full of fragments and no outline.

Why it stalls

A course needs sequence — what comes before what, what each module covers, how you would know someone learned it. That structure is exactly the part that does not exist in your head yet.

Course Builder

Course Builder is a standalone process rather than a conversation. It sets up the audience and the outcome first, then walks you module by module until the whole thing is on paper.

How to run it

  1. 1Set the topic, who it is for, and what they should be able to do at the end.
  2. 2Let it propose an outline, then correct it — you know the dependencies better than it does.
  3. 3Answer the questions one module at a time, in order.
  4. 4Take the compiled prompt and paste it into whichever tool you build the course with.

What comes out

A complete outline — modules in sequence, what each one covers, the exercises, and how you would assess learning — plus a finished prompt assembled from your own answers, ready to generate the full material.

A course structure you can actually teach, built from what you already know.

Agency or operator

The case study only you can write

The situation

A project just landed well. The client is happy, the numbers are good, and a case study would win you the next three deals — but the details are already going hazy.

Why it stalls

Case studies go generic because the specifics evaporate. A month later you remember that it worked, not what you did on the Tuesday it nearly did not.

Story Vault

Story Vault is built for saving events before memory tidies them up. It asks for the scene, the sequence and what it meant at the time — which is exactly the raw material a case study needs.

How to run it

  1. 1Start a Story Vault conversation the week the project lands.
  2. 2Set the scene: who was involved, what the stakes were, what nearly went wrong.
  3. 3Give it the boring specifics — dates, numbers, the thing someone actually said.
  4. 4Compile, then add the client’s results and a testimonial to the finished draft.

What comes out

A narrative case study with a real scene at the top, the sequence of decisions in the middle, and the outcome at the end — anchored by the one specific detail that makes it believable.

A case study with a story in it, written while the details are still true.

Podcaster or interviewer

Show notes, newsletter and clips from one episode

The situation

You have recorded an episode. Now you need show notes, a newsletter to promote it, social clips, and a title that is better than the working one.

Why it stalls

Post-production is where a podcast quietly dies. The episode is done but the surrounding content is another two hours of work, so it gets skipped.

Expert Interview

Expert Interview produces an episode-shaped draft — title, cold open, narrative middle, closing takeaway — which is close to what show notes and a promotional newsletter actually need.

How to run it

  1. 1Run an Expert Interview on the episode’s theme, in your own words as the host.
  2. 2Say the framing you did not manage to get to on the recording.
  3. 3Compile and use the narrative draft as the newsletter, trimmed.
  4. 4Pull the strongest lines from the Voice Extracts panel in the inspector rail for the social clips.

What comes out

A titled narrative draft that doubles as show notes or a newsletter, plus a set of extracted quotes from the conversation ready to be turned into clips and posts.

The whole episode package from one extra conversation.

Writer with a deadline

The blank page, solved with your own archive

The situation

You have committed to publishing weekly and it is Thursday. You have written plenty before, you just cannot think of anything worth saying now.

Why it stalls

The material already exists — it is scattered across everything you have said and written. What is missing is the pattern, and finding patterns in your own work is nearly impossible from inside it.

Idea Miner

Idea Miner reads everything you have already said and surfaces what you have not noticed: opinions you mentioned once, two threads that are secretly one idea, a question you keep answering.

How to run it

  1. 1Run Idea Miner and read the ideas against your own memory of saying them.
  2. 2Pick the one that makes you slightly uncomfortable.
  3. 3Send it straight into an interview — the angle carries over.
  4. 4Compile and publish.

What comes out

Five to seven concrete ideas, each with an angle and a link back to the moment you said it — plus a one-click route into a full interview on whichever you choose.

Thursday stops being a problem.

Long-term journaler

Five years of entries that turn into a memoir

The situation

You want to record your life without turning it into a project. You are not writing a book, you just do not want the details to disappear.

Why it stalls

Journals fail in two ways: the entries are too thin to be useful later, and nothing ever comes of them. You end up with a folder of fragments and no thread.

Daily Check-in

Daily Check-in is five minutes at the end of the day — short enough to actually do. It files each entry into your Story Vault and feeds the knowledge graph, so themes accumulate whether or not you are looking for them.

How to run it

  1. 1Do a Check-in at the same time each day. Five minutes, no more.
  2. 2When something worth telling happens, save it as a Story Vault entry the next day.
  3. 3Leave it alone for a few weeks.
  4. 4Open Idea Miner once a month and read the themes back.

What comes out

A dated archive of honest entries, a knowledge graph showing what you actually care about, and — when you want it — compiled pieces written from years of your own material rather than from a blank page.

A record of your life that writes itself in five minutes a day.

Anyone walking into a hard room

Pressure-testing an argument before you make it

The situation

You have a position to defend — a budget, a hire, a strategy, a decision the team disagrees with. You get one shot at the room.

Why it stalls

You have rehearsed the case for your side and never once rehearsed the strongest case against it. That is the argument you will actually meet.

Debate Partner

Debate Partner argues the other side properly rather than strawmanning it. It only pushes on what you actually claim, so it finds the weak joint rather than a convenient one.

How to run it

  1. 1State your position as strongly and specifically as you can.
  2. 2Answer its counterarguments honestly, including the ones you have not resolved.
  3. 3Say what would actually change your mind.
  4. 4Compile into a one-page brief and read it twice before the meeting.

What comes out

A persuasive brief that argues your case and addresses the best counterargument head-on, plus a clear statement of what evidence would move you — which is usually the thing that wins the room.

You walk in having already had the argument once.

None of these quite yours?

The pattern is always the same: pick a mode, talk longer than feels comfortable, and compile. Start anywhere.
