Abstract

[Problem] To provide an invention assistance system which utilizes generative AI to efficiently create a creative invention. [Solution] An invention assistance system 1 comprises: a problem reception unit 201 that receives problem information D60; a first prompt generation unit 202 that generates, on the basis of the problem information D60, first prompt information D62 for giving an instruction to a generative artificial intelligence model so as to output first answer information D63 comprising one or more invention principles for solving a problem, from among invention principle information D61; a first answer provision unit 203 that provides the first answer information D63 that has been output from the generative artificial intelligence model by inputting the first prompt information D62 into the generative artificial intelligence model; a second prompt generation unit 204 that generates, on the basis of the first answer information D63, second prompt information D64 for giving an instruction to the generative artificial intelligence model so as to output second answer information D65 indicating an invention for solving the problem, while combining the one or more invention principles included in the first answer information D63; and a second answer provision unit 205 that provides the second answer information D65 that has been output from the generative artificial intelligence model by inputting the second prompt information D64 into the generative artificial intelligence model.
