Your AI, your keyFeature

Bring your own AI — Claude, ChatGPT, or a model you host

Unlock the AI features with Pro, then run them on a back-end you bring: a Claude or ChatGPT key, or your own self-hosted model. Written brand descriptions, premium design manuals, palettes from a brief, and color naming — your account, your data, going straight from your Mac to your provider or your own machine.

Design manualsFeature

A design manual, generated from your kit

Right-click a collection and get a multi-page A4 brand manual — cover, palette specifications, logo plates, type specimens. A Pro tool; with your AI key, it comes written and typeset like the real thing, in the brand's own fonts.

AI palette generatorFeature

An AI color palette generator with real roles
