Earlier notes
- Your brand goes on the picture, not in itAsk an AI for a branded image and the logo lands on a coffee mug. The fix isn't a sharper prompt — it's a layer on top, not a prop in the scene.
- What should I even post? When the feed needs feedingYou're not posting because you have something to say, but because it's been a while — hoping it isn't dumb. A whole feature grew from that dread.

- Why your AI content sounds like everyone else'sMost AI tools write on top of your brand. The fix isn't a better prompt — it's a tool that learns your voice first, then writes from inside it.
- The small things that make your brand sound like youA brand voice isn't a tone setting. It's dozens of small, specific choices working together. Here's what they are — and why a dropdown can never capture them.
