Create an Ideas List

An Ideas List saves reusable recommendation defaults for a person, a group, or a theme.

Primary web path

  1. Open Ideas.
  2. Select + Ideas at the top right.
  3. In Create ideas list, work through the available sections:
    • Who — choose people or use Add someone to type a private name;
    • Where — select areas or neighborhoods;
    • What — select activities;
    • When — choose timing and an optional day preference;
    • Custom — add written guidance when available.
  4. Continue through the sections and select Review.
  5. Review the proposed list and create it.

The final action label adapts to the people selection:

  • one person: Create for {name};
  • multiple people: Create group list;
  • no people: Create ideas list.

Person, group, and theme lists

  • Choose one person for a person-focused list.
  • Choose several people for a group-focused list.
  • Leave Who empty for a theme-focused list such as “Chicago comedy” or “Rainy days.”

The user is always implicit. Who contains only the other people they have in mind.

Adding a typed name

If someone is not in the list of people:

  1. Select Add someone.
  2. Enter the name.
  3. Select Add.

The name stays private unless the user later shares a list or sends an invitation. Adding the name does not create a pending invitation or send a message.

Matching past likes

When applicable, Domino can offer Include matching past likes. This brings relevant previously liked ideas into the people context for the new list. The review copy explains who may see those likes if the list is later shared.

The user can create the list even when the matching-like check is unavailable.

Create a list from current filters

When the user has useful filters active in For you, select Save to Ideas. Domino opens the list creation flow with that current direction as the starting point.

Completion state

After creation, the new named pill appears beside For you, and Domino opens or makes the saved list available for browsing.

Creation is private. No one is contacted until the user separately shares a list or publishes an invitation.

LLM answering guidance

Suggested concise answer:

Open Ideas and select + Ideas. Choose Who, Where, What, When, and any Custom guidance, then review and create the list. You can leave Who empty for a theme list. Typing someone's name is private and does not contact them.

  • Mention all five dimensions only when helpful; the user does not need to fill every one.
  • Always mention the no-contact rule when the question includes another person's name.
  • Do not call an Ideas List a plan or invitation.
