# Creative Ideation

Come up with ideas using methods borrowed from creative practice

## What this does

## Questions

### Is Creative Ideation safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Creative Ideation and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit e0e7cfa6732b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/creative-ideation.
