How to use

Use the AssemblyAI brand design system with your AI coding tool of choice. It includes tokens, brand guidelines, fonts, icons, and logos. Build marketing websites, decks, assets, ad creative, landing pages, and micro-sites.

Use the AssemblyAI brand design system (version 1.4). Clone the repo https://github.com/AssemblyAI-Marketing/assemblyai-website and review README.md and public/brand-design-system/assemblyai-brand-design-system.md before starting — the BrandDesignSystem.md file is the source of truth for tokens, components, and brand rules. Also use the AssemblyAI Claude skills (for example /brand-design-system, /assemblyai-content, and /assemblyai-brand-voice) for any content or brand work. When I prompt you to build, use only the existing patterns, components, layouts, and visual treatments in the design system. Do not create new UI patterns, components, layouts, or visual treatments. Follow the structure, behavior, and visual language already established.

Using the AssemblyAI design system, build a new use-case page for [USE CASE, e.g. AI medical scribes]. Compose it only from existing components — top nav, a hero, section headers, feature grids or 3-ups, customer proof, river-flow sections, an inline CTA, FAQs, and the global footer. Keep all tokens, type, color, and motion from the design system, and draw copy direction from /assemblyai-content and /positioning. Do not invent new section patterns.

Using the AssemblyAI design system, design a visual to post on social media for [TOPIC OR LAUNCH]. Use only brand colors (Cobolt is the single accent), Oceanic Text headings, Modern Gothic Mono eyebrows and labels, and the AssemblyAI logos and Material Symbols icons. Keep it on-brand, precise, and developer-credible — no new colors or typefaces.

Using the AssemblyAI design system, build a slide deck for [TOPIC] with the /deck-template skill. Pick layouts by their selection criteria, fill the content slots, and emit on-brand HTML slides using design-system token classes only. Cobolt is the only accent; headings are Oceanic Text, eyebrows and labels are Modern Gothic Mono.

Using the AssemblyAI design system, create a social ad/asset for [CAMPAIGN] with the /supporting-imagery skill. Let it pick the right style (Up to seven: UI & Code, Demos, Maps, Pure Abstract, Literal × Abstract, Graphs, Diagrams) and build the asset from design-system tokens, fonts, color, logos, and Material Symbols icons. Cobolt is the only accent.

Using the /email skill, build the email for [BLOG POST, EVENT PAGE, OR PASTED COPY]. Pick the right template, keep to the length and style rules for that type, and add UTMs to these links: [DESTINATION URLS]. Any images unique to this email are in Iterable's creative library at: [LIBRARY URLS]. Then help me decide who it should go to, push it to Iterable as an unscheduled campaign, and tell me what to do next.

This design system Markdown file is the source of truth for agents and humans. It contains everything you need to know about the AssemblyAI brand design system.

Color palette

Named scales are the brand language. Cobolt is the only accent and CTA color, running deep (500) to light (100). Black is a warm text and surface scale. White and Neutral carry the warm off-white backgrounds and borders. Blush is reserved for error and highlight states. Click any swatch to copy the hex.

Typography

Three fonts, each with a clear role. Oceanic Text is the serif display face for all headings, set with tight negative tracking. UN 11ST carries body copy. Modern Gothic Mono handles eyebrows, labels, and CTAs in uppercase.

Spacing and layout

The spacing scale runs 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 80, 120 px, exposed as tokens --spacing-1 through --spacing-12. Section padding is 120px vertical and 148px horizontal on the 1440px canvas.

Corners and border radius

The radius scale runs 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24px, with a full 9999px reserved for pills like avatars and tags. Large CTAs use the 4px radius; nav-scale CTAs (tertiary and quaternary) use 2px. Rounding stays restrained to keep the brand precise.

Buttons and CTAs

CTAs are rectangular with a 4px radius (--radius-sm), 40px tall, set in Modern Gothic Mono at 14px uppercase with 1.4px letter-spacing. Primary uses Cobolt 500 with a Cobolt 300 hover. Secondary is outlined and fills on hover. Nav-scale tertiary and quaternary CTAs are smaller, 32px tall with a 2px radius. Cobolt is the only CTA color. On dark backgrounds, switch to the lighter Cobolt dark variants.

Primitives

Primitives are the smallest building blocks in the component explorer (/brand-design-system/components/primitives). Everything else composes from these. Buttons and CTAs are documented above.

Icons

The icon system is Material Symbols, Google's outlined variable icon font. There is no custom icon set and no decorative accent dot. The Icon primitive renders a material-symbols-outlined span with axes FILL, wght, GRAD, and opsz. Default size 24, weight 400, outline (FILL 0). Color follows text. Use Cobolt 500 only as a deliberate accent. Browse and pick names at fonts.google.com/icons.

<!-- Load the font in <head> -->
<link rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,GRAD@24,400,0,0" />

<!-- 24px outlined -->
<span class="material-symbols-outlined">check_circle</span>

<!-- filled, 20px, via the Icon component -->
<Icon name="arrow_forward" size={20} filled />

Component library

These are the only approved section components, rendered live below from the real site components, with light and dark variants where they exist. Compose pages from these and do not invent new section patterns. Jump to a category, or browse the standalone views at /brand-design-system/components/<section>.

Site structure

The site uses Astro file-based routing: a file at src/pages/<path>.astro serves at /<path>, a folder becomes a URL segment, and a [slug].astro file is a dynamic route. Use this map to decide where a new page belongs before creating one. Most new pages slot into an existing folder rather than the top level.

Content and AI skills

Marketing content for AssemblyAI is produced with a set of Claude skills. Invoke a skill with its slash name, for example /assemblyai-content. Use these as the on-brand path for any copy, blog, or content task.

Planned skills (placeholders)

Skills we should have for marketing work but have not built yet. These are placeholders. Create them as dedicated, AssemblyAI-specific skills.

Deck template Built

A reusable AssemblyAI slide deck system — the working implementation of the brand rules in assemblyai-slides-guidelines.md. Slides are self-contained HTML authored on a native 1920×1080 canvas and scaled to fit, composed entirely from fixed tokens and reusable components.

A few layouts at a glance — 39 reference slides span six families (Title / Section · BIG TEXT · GRID · 4 COL · Top / Bottom + COL · Editorial). Open deck-template/examples.html for the full set.
