product_idea will be passed in by the checker. You don't need to prompt for it yourself. Delete that line and you are good.

Do only what it asked you for - don't add your own ideas because it would raise an error.

for an example, you could only add this line:

if len(product_idea) < 3: raise ValueError()

and it would pass. any other data and it would raise an error.
