    Hey HN!

    We’re developing an AI agent called dotbrand AI Front Desk Design Agent to help design firms streamline client interactions at the very start of a project. As a designer myself with 13 years of experience, I’ve noticed that the initial back-and-forth with clients before any deposit is paid can take weeks—especially when trying to nail down project details, style preferences, and expectations. This process can drain valuable time and resources.

    dotbrand solves this by automating the early stages of client communication (before the down payment), helping designers and agencies gather key information, align project expectations, and send reports to both the client and the design team before investing a lot of time. The AI can even generate project proposals that typically take weeks to prepare, cutting that down to just about a week.

    The Problem We’re Solving: 1. Designers waste time in early meetings with clients, often before any payment is made. It takes time and effort to get clients and designers on the same page regarding design style and project scope. 2. Proposal preparation can be slow, which delays the project start. dotbrand helps streamline all of this, allowing design studios to focus on creative work instead of admin tasks.

    Why We Need Your Feedback: We’re looking to refine the tool and ensure it solves real problems for both design companies and freelancers. The community here on Hacker News is always insightful when it comes to efficiency and product feedback, so we’d love your honest critiques.

    Interested in seeing how it works? We’re offering demo slots where we can walk you through the product. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a chance for you to help shape the tool with your feedback.

    Book a Demo: You can schedule a 20-minute demo with us via https://calendly.com/kevin_dotbrand/get-to-know-dotbrand.

    Thanks in advance for any input, critiques, or suggestions you can provide. We’re excited to hear what you think!

    We're open to all kinds of feedback—whether it’s about the tool itself, how we’re positioning it, or even other ways we could improve this process for designers. We really appreciate your time and thoughts!
