Brand guidelines were built for humans. AI doesn't read PDFs.

Your brand needs a new kind of structure.

One that AI tools actually understand. We call it a Brand Codec. Maive builds it with you in 8 weeks.

the problem

Your brand guidelines can’t govern AI

Your team uses ChatGPT, Midjourney, and a dozen other AI tools every day. But your brand guidelines were written for humans, not machines. The result? Every AI output is a guess.

No consistency

Every person on your team prompts AI differently. Same brand, twelve interpretations. The drift is invisible until it isn't.

No language AI understands

Your brand has rules. Detailed ones.
AI tools just can't read a PDF. So they improvise, and improvisation doesn't stay on-brand.

No control

You can't be in the room every time AI generates content in your brand's name. Without structure, you're not guiding the output. You're just reviewing the damage.

How AI-ready is your brand, really?

Most teams assume their brand is consistent. Then they see how AI tools actually interpret it.

The Brand Codec assessment maps your brand across 6 dimensions: tone, visual identity, usage rules, team fluency, tool coverage, and governance structure. It takes 5 minutes. The results tend to surprise people.

Used by brand and creative teams across Europe.

what you get

This is what Brand Codec looks like

  • The structured language AI needs to represent your brand consistently; tone, visuals, values, and voice, translated into logic machines can follow.

  • Clear agreements for how your team uses AI in your brand's name. What's allowed, what isn't, and how outputs get reviewed.

  • Curated set of ready-to-use prompts, built around your brand. Less guessing, fewer iterations, better outputs . Every time.

  • Your people, equipped to work with AI without going off-brand. Not a one-time workshop, ongoing fluency.

how it works

Four phases. Eight weeks.
One Brand Codec

  • Map & understand

    We inventory every AI tool your team actually uses and audit how your brand is currently being applied, or misapplied.

    Most teams discover 3–5x more AI touchpoints than they expected.

  • Build the Codec

    We translate your brand identity into structured logic, tone, voice, visual rules, and values, in a format AI tools can actually follow.

  • Set the rules

    We define your Brand AI Rules: what your team can use AI for, how outputs get reviewed, and where the guardrails are.

  • Equip your team

    We train your people, hand over the prompt library, and make sure the Codec lives in your workflow. Not in a drawer.

who’s it for?

Built for the people responsible when AI gets the brand wrong.

Creative agencies

You're using AI across every client account, and you're the ones who take the call when something goes off-brand. A Brand Codec protects your work, your reputation, and your client relationships.

In-house brand & marketing teams

Your team is generating more content than ever. But more output means more room for drift. A Brand Codec keeps every AI-assisted output anchored to the brand you've spent years building.
