8 end-to-end workflows from blank brief to shipped artifact

Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney — model-agnostic

Brief Decoder

Turn vague client briefs into a clear spec — goals, audience, constraints, success criteria — before you touch the artboard.

4 prompts

Copy variants

Generate headline and body variants for any layout, with voice guardrails so the output sounds like you — not a chatbot.
