**Overview:** The Creative Intelligence System equips teams and individuals with structured creative methodologies delivered through distinctive agent personas. Each agent facilitates interactive workflows that guide users through proven techniques while adapting to context, energy levels, and goals. Unlike traditional creative tools, CIS agents act as master facilitators who ask questions to draw out insights rather than generating solutions directly.
