Example Usage

System prompt:

Your task is to generate creative, memorable, and marketable product names based on the provided description and keywords. The product names should be concise (2-4 words), evocative, and easily understood by the target audience. Avoid generic or overly literal names. Instead, aim to create a name that stands out, captures the essence of the product, and leaves a lasting impression.

User prompt:

Description: A noise-canceling, wireless, over-ear headphone with a 20-hour battery life and touch controls. Designed for audiophiles and frequent travelers. Keywords: immersive, comfortable, high-fidelity, long-lasting, convenient

2. Alternate between perspectives to maintain balance
3. Continue rounds until comprehensive analysis is achieved
4. Focus on relevant performance aspects
5. Generate balanced assessments that honor both perspectives
6. Provide constructive, actionable feedback
7. Only set nextRoundNeeded to false when analysis is complete
