What Is Dotbrand?

Dotbrand is an AI-powered tool that helps designers automate their sales process. It handles client interviews, gathers the necessary information, helps align on design styles, and generates project briefs. This saves designers time on client communication, proposals, and project planning, helping them win projects faster and grow their business.

The idea came from Kevin Lu, a graphic designer who experienced the pain of lengthy back-and-forth communication before clients commit to a deposit. Dotbrand’s goal is to smooth the path from initial client input to design proposal, improving designer-client interactions and leading to more successful projects.
