Turning brand guidelines into structured, machine-readable instructions for AI tools.

The AI Challenge for Brands

Generative AI is everywhere, and it’s changing the rules. Marketers, designers, and social teams can now create content at lightning speed, but speed comes with risk.

Without clear guidance, AI can produce assets that clash with your brand, dilute your identity, or even misrepresent your voice. Brands that aren’t AI-ready risk losing consistency and trust.

What “AI-Ready” Means

Being AI-ready isn’t about slapping a logo on an AI-generated graphic. It’s about machine-readable guidelines: tone, voice, logo rules, color palettes, font usage, and naming conventions codified so AI tools know exactly what’s allowed.

Think of it as a rulebook that keeps creativity aligned with identity, even when humans aren’t directly controlling every output.

Practical Steps

Codify your brand rules in structured formats like JSON or YAML.
Define parameters for visuals, typography, color, and logo usage.
Document voice and tone with clear examples and AI-compatible prompts.
Test output across AI platforms to ensure compliance and consistency.

These steps allow teams, and AI, to generate on-brand content without compromising your identity.

Deloitte Digital

Deloitte Digital has implemented AI-ready brand guidelines through their Orb Foundry. Using generative AI, Deloitte teams can create fully rendered 3D brand assets on demand while maintaining global consistency across 30 international markets.

The tool ensures that every asset adheres to Deloitte’s visual identity, allowing for high-volume, personalized content that stays on-brand.

This approach solves the modern challenge of scaling campaigns across multiple channels without diluting brand integrity.

Bottom Line

AI is here, and it moves fast.

Being AI-ready is no longer optional, it’s essential.

Codify your brand, make it machine-readable, and empower teams and tools to create at scale without losing your identity.

Brands that do this don’t just keep up, they set the standard.
