Creativity is suffering because of AI assistants. Take back your ability to think creatively β without chats. Most AI assistants handle everything for you from start to finish. Itβs convenient, but over time you lose the habit of using your own creative mind. Ideation takes a different approach. Our app doesnβt solve your problems β it nudges your thinking. Short hints and questions help you look at topics from new angles and unlock your creativity. Itβs like inspiration from books, magazines, or music: they donβt give ready-made answers, but they spark ideas. Thatβs real creative brainstorming. Ideation helps you get that creative mind back. Write a topic, choose roles β and get small nudges and unexpected perspectives. The rest is up to you. In just a few days, youβll see how many ideas your own mind can generate. Youβll need AI less β because your mind should generate ideas on its own. Ideation helps you organize and find ideas as evolving creative notes β so you can return to them anytime or export them to your favorite note-taking tool. To explore ideas from different perspectives, choose multiple characters like marketer, motivator, critic, and more. Watch your thoughts develop in new directions, structured as a creative vision. This app is for you if you: - Want fresh ideas - Want to break free from AI dependence and restore creative thinking - Struggle with "blank-page syndrome" - Are tired of generic AI chat answers - Want to look at the problem from a new perspective Free plan: 250 ideas/week, 3 creative roles, 3 boards. PRO plan: Unlimited ideas, all roles, cloud sync, no ads. FAQ: Q: What is Ideation? A: Ideation is a brainstorming tool that helps generate ideas with unique characters. Instead of providing ready-made answers, it gives short concepts that guide your thinking in the right direction. Q: How does it work? A: You enter your topic or goal, choose roles (marketer, psychologist, critic, etc.), and get short idea sketches. Your brain starts working in interesting directions, and you feel like you're thinking for yourself. Q: How is it different from typical AI? A: Typical AI gives complete answers immediately, which makes your brain relax. Ideation simply sketches or asks the right questions, forcing your brain to work actively and find its own solutions. Q: What roles are available? A: More than 15 unique roles are available: marketer, psychologist, perfectionist, engineer, and many others. Each role represents a special way of thinking. Some characters (like critic or toxic) will challenge you and make your ideas grow better. Other roles (like motivator or optimist) will give you positive feedback that will help you see the spark. Q: Can I export ideas? A: Yes, you can export your idea-boards to simple text format similar to a mindmap and continue using it in any note-taking app. Q: Is it free? A: Ideation has a free plan with a limited number of boards and generations. Paid subscriptions are available for unlimited use. Terms of Use: https://tryideation.app/terms/
