<aside> 📍 Why this page exists. The programme runs three months; the alumni list runs to hundreds of teams. We do not have the bandwidth or the budget to keep making assets for everyone afterwards, and pretending otherwise would help nobody. So your package is built to be used WITHOUT us.

:hax-diamond: What makes this work

Your kit is not a folder of pictures. It is consolidated assets plus metadata, style conditioning, instructions and protocols — a machine-readable definition of your identity. Given that, a frontier model produces on-brand material at adequate quality with only minor human correction. Without it, the same model guesses, and it shows.

:hax-list: Start with what needs no AI at all

A large part of asset generation in your kit is deterministic. The composer builds variants — logo lockups in every colourway and format, sized exports, social and favicon sets — from the brand definition itself. Same input, same output, every time. No model involved, nothing to check for drift.

<aside> ⚙ Look for the finished asset before you generate one. If the kit already produces what you need, that route is exact and free. AI is for the things the composer cannot know about — new layouts, new copy, one-off pieces.

:hax-info: What to expect, honestly

<aside> ⚖ A $100 subscription does not replace a $15,000 service. This will not give you boutique studio work and you should not expect it to. What it gives you is adequate, on-brand output for most everyday needs — which is usually what you actually need, and which you would otherwise not have at all.

</aside>

Quality tracks the model you pick. A current frontier model is materially better than a cheap one, and the gap is widest exactly where it matters — layout judgement and restraint.

:hax-hardware: What to use

None of this is tied to one vendor. Your kit is plain files and plain text, so any capable coding agent can read it.

• Agentic coding tools — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Cline and others. These read your kit folder directly, which is the point.
• Frontier models — Anthropic, OpenAI and Google are the obvious ones. Chinese frontier models such as Kimi and GLM are capable and considerably cheaper, by subscription or API.
• OpenRouter — one account and one key across most models, useful for comparing before you commit to a subscription.

:hax-action: How to work with it

1. Open your brand kit folder in the tool you chose.
2. Tell it to read the brand definition file before making anything.
3. Ask for what you need in plain language — an investor update page, a set of social cards, an email signature, a landing section.
4. Tell it to take colours, fonts and logo paths FROM the brand file rather than typing values in.
5. Look at the result and correct it. Expect to — that is the workflow, not a failure of it.
