Three ready-made templates for the guideline site
- The usual toolGoogle Forms or TypeformWhat actually happensAnswers arrive in a spreadsheet, and you retype them into something else
- The usual toolMilanote or PinterestWhat actually happensThe references live in one place and the decisions they led to live in another
- The usual toolWord, Notion or a deckWhat actually happensPresented in a meeting, then saved to a folder
- The usual toolGoogle Drive or DropboxWhat actually happens“logo_final_2_new.png”, and five versions of the logo
- The usual toolA PDF or Guidelines.siteWhat actually happensBuilt from scratch, away from the discovery and the strategy
- The usual toolA zip over WeTransferWhat actually happensThe link expires in days, and so does the relationship
- The usual toolChatGPT or GrammarlyWhat actually happensClever tools writing confidently, in a voice that isn't your brand's
Every part of the brand sits in a different tool, with a different person. The logo drifts in the sales deck, the Arabic says something the English never meant, and every question lands on one desk.
- FormGoogle Forms
- BoardMilanote
- DocumentWord
- FolderDrive
- GuidelinePDF
- ChatChatGPT
Right here. Right everywhere.
Forms, strategy, files, guidelines and voice, in one place. Change a colour once, and it's right on every page that uses it.
- Create
Discover the brand. Build its guide.
Studios and freelancers, or the company's own team
- Deliver
It moves, whole, to its owner.
The studio and the client
- Run
It lives in everything the company writes.
Companies
And two things in the middle never change: one source of truth, so every logo, colour and rule has a single version that shows up wherever it's needed, and Brand Brain reading from it.
Three ways in. One brand.
Studios
From the first question to the final handoff.
You start with: Modules 1 to 7
Freelancers
Work alone. Show up as a team.
You start with: The AI analysis, the guideline site and the handoff
Companies
On brand. On time. In both languages.
You start with: The hub, the tone checker and the viewers
The studio builds it, the company runs it. When a studio hands a brand over, it moves across whole, from the discovery answers to the voice, into the client's own space.
Fewer files. A clearer brand.
An honest comparison, stop by stop. What matters isn't how many tools you drop. It's that everything left is connected.
| The job | You use today | In Markyos | What actually changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| The discovery form | Google Forms · Typeform · Tally | Bilingual brand forms, with questions a strategist wrote | Answers become an analysis and strategy drafts, with no copy-paste |
| Reading the answers | Two hours of your time, or ChatGPT with no context | AI brief analysis: contradictions, missing questions, directions | The first one is free on every project |
| Strategy | Word · Google Docs · Notion · a deck | A strategy hub built for brands, in both languages | It carries through to the guideline and the voice, instead of sitting in a folder |
| Moodboards | Milanote · Pinterest · Miro | A moodboard that pulls the palette out of your real images | The board turns into decisions: colours and drafts. And a live board with your clientComing soon |
| Files | Google Drive · Dropbox | An asset library that sorts your files for you | One correct version of every logo, font and colour |
| The guideline | A PDF out of InDesign · Guidelines.site | A guideline site built from the project's own files, in both languages | Minutes instead of days, and connected to everything before it |
| Handoff | A zip over WeTransfer and an email | Ownership of a live brand hub, transferred | Your client owns their brand, and you earn when they upgrade |
| Brand voice | Grammarly · Writer · ChatGPT | A tone checker that knows your voice and your terms | It understands Arabic and its registers, and it's priced per company, not per person |
| Tracking projects | A spreadsheet · Trello | A studio board by the stage each project is in | You know where every client stands at a glance |
| Employee questions | An endless thread to the marketing manager | “Ask the brand”Coming soon | The employee answers it themselves, from the hub |
| Your AI tools | ChatGPT and Claude, with no idea what your brand is | The AI connectorComing soon | They read your actual brand before they write |

What Markyos does not replace
Your design tool
Design in Figma or Illustrator exactly as you do today. Markyos takes the final files and surrounds them with everything they need.
Sales and invoicing
Proposals and invoices stay in your own tools.
The whiteboard for everything
If you use Miro for meetings that have nothing to do with the brand, it keeps its place. Our boards are built for brands.
Brand Brain
It reads before it writes.
Brand Brain is the AI inside Markyos. It reads your brand, not the internet, so it sees what everyone else misses. It suggests. You decide.
A client who contradicts themselves. Leaders who don't agree. A post that drifted from your voice.
ChatGPT knows everything about the world. Brand Brain knows your brand.

It guards consistency at the seams where brands come apart
Between what the client says and what they mean
The AI brief analysis, and the first one in every project is free.
Between your leaders
The alignment report, and the first one for every brand is free.
Between your voice and everything written in it
The tone checker, with rewriting in your brand voice beside it.
Between the Arabic and the English
The term base, and translation in your brand voice.

Between the strategy and the visual direction
AI art direction, from your moodboards.
- Coming soon
Between your guideline and what people ask
“Ask the brand”, and a list of what the guideline is missing.
Clear limits
It suggests, it does not decide. Everything it writes reaches you as a draft that shows where it came from, and nothing in your brand changes until you accept it. And it never draws a logo.
Coming soonAnd your own AI tools, like ChatGPT and Claude, will read your brand before they write, through the AI Connector. They read only, and change nothing.

Questions, answered
Is Markyos a design tool?
No. Design in Figma or Illustrator. Markyos holds everything around the design.
Do I need a studio to use it?
No. A company can start on its own, and so can a studio.
Does the AI design logos?
Never. It reads and drafts words. The design is yours.
Built. Shared. Alive.
