Overview

dotBRAND is a purpose-built SaaS platform designed to eliminate the back-and-forth chaos that often derails creative projects. At its core is the Survey Genie, a smart intake tool that lets designers send clients a single, tailored questionnaire to capture preferences, files, and project details in one go. Instead of chasing down scattered emails and unclear requests, designers get a structured snapshot of exactly what their client wants from day one. Once the data is collected, dotBRAND's AI engine takes over, analyzing the responses to generate project briefs, creative strategies, and design ideas automatically. This dramatically shortens the gap between initial client contact and a polished proposal, freeing designers to focus on the creative work itself rather than administrative legwork. The platform is tailored specifically for the graphic design workflow, making it a natural fit for freelancers and agencies alike who want to filter serious clients from casual inquiries and present a more professional, systematic intake process.
