Kodo is an AI design tool that generates fully editable posters, slides, menus and social graphics from a simple prompt. Unlike other AI design tools that output flat images, Kodo creates structured, layered designs you can edit instantly - text, colors, layouts, spacing, everything. You can generate, refine, and export in minutes - no templates, no locked layouts.

@curiouskitty yeah for sure! so we have a brand kit option, and you can just toggle it on and itll auto use it!

@curiouskitty our approach is quite simple actually. we inject into the prompt when brand kit is selected, and we have in the main system prompt that the brand kit always overrides regular prompts.
Hey Michael, congrats on your launch! How do you plan to compete with big players that have sort of unlimited budgets and teams and offer similar tools, for example Nano Banana?
P.S- I find the editing bar on top of the image convenient and also the UI looks familiar to what we are used to use on a daily basis which is a good thing

Hey @mg272011 , I tried Kodo and I love the fact that you can generate layers. Great work! As a suggestion: I think the elements design would be better on the left, like Canva, so it's less out of the way of the design itself

When someone changes text length or moves elements around how does Kodo keep the spacing and alignment from breaking?
Kodo
@daniel_hughes4 we automatically save all the changes immediately, so it doesnt break. its saved as cordinates so very easy to do.
Congrats on the launch, @mg272011! The core problem you are solving here is real. Every content team I have worked with has hit that wall where AI-generated designs look great in preview but fall apart the moment you try to edit text spacing or swap a color palette. The flat-image output model was always a workflow dead end for anyone doing production-level work. Trust me! Hahaha, even Gemini and Canva sometimes mess up when we try to edit the pictures!
A few things I am curious about:
How does Kodo handle brand kit enforcement during generation? If a team uploads brand fonts, colors, and logo lockups, does the AI respect those constraints even when the prompt conflicts with them?
What does the export pipeline look like for teams that need to hand off to print vendors? Are you outputting structured SVGs, or is there a path to layered PDFs with bleed and trim marks?
On the spatial awareness side, when users draw a region and give instructions, how granular can those edits get? For example, can someone select just a text block and say, "Make this hierarchy clearer," without the AI rearranging the entire layout?
The fact that you rebuilt the engine from scratch after the early versions broke tells me you're building for longevity here. Rooting for Kodo, Michael. All the best!
The 'fully editable layers' angle is what sets this apart, every other AI design tool gives you a pretty image you can't touch. Kodo actually respects the designer's workflow.
As a founder prepping launch assets for my own product (Fillix - a job application Chrome extension), I've been manually tweaking Canva exports forever. This could genuinely replace that. Adding to my stack. Congrats on the launch!
