In this study, the authors developed an agent system to support idea creation in SF prototyping. Among the workshop methods for creating the future, SF prototyping is useful for exploring potential possibilities by removing constraints on participants. However, appropriate facilitation is necessary for this purpose. The authors developed a virtual agent system that supports idea creation and analyzed the results. In the process of creating a future, the virtual agent system that supports idea generation that has a face like a person and operates on the screen, and the authors analyzed the results of the idea generation support. The virtual agent was developed to facilitate workshop with understanding the context. From experiments using this, it was found that the number of ideas of participants can be expected to be balanced in the new word creation phase, which is required to generate many ideas to diverge discussions. In addition, in the new character creation phase, which may affect the final product, it was shown that the number of character creations may increase compared to the case of human facilitation.
