How to Use Brandforge
A complete guide to getting recommendations and answers from Brandforge, your AI brand strategist.
Brandforge is an AI brand strategist inside Gildform. It looks at what you've already designed and learns your brand, then helps you decide what to make next.
You can also ask it for taglines and help with your brand story. When you're ready to make something, you take the idea straight into a Gildform project.

To open it:

Getting Better Answers
Brandforge works from what it knows about you, so the more it has, the more specific it gets.
- Fill in your Brand Profile. See How to Build Your Brand Profile.
- Share the idea behind what you want: the look, the material, the feeling.
- If an answer is too general, add detail and ask again.
- Check important details before you use them. Brandforge can make mistakes.
Limitations
- Brandforge gives one recommendation at a time, not a full collection.
- It doesn't create the project for you. You start it in Gildform.
- It only recommends products Gildform makes, and it doesn't suggest gemstones or stone setting.
- It can't tell you what's trending yet. Market Intelligence is coming soon.
- It's AI, so answers can be general or wrong.
