NextDocs v1.6: Brand Kit

Today we are releasing NextDocs v1.6 with a feature that changes how teams stay on brand: Brand Kit.

Define your brand identity once. Colors, fonts, logos, tone of voice. Every document, presentation, and report you create from that point forward follows your brand automatically.

No more manually adjusting colors. No more checking if the right logo was used. No more inconsistent outputs across your team.

The Problem

Every team has the same issue. You create 50 documents a month, and half of them look different from the other half. Wrong colors, wrong fonts, wrong logo placement. The brand guidelines exist somewhere in a PDF that nobody opens.

AI makes this worse. You generate a beautiful presentation, but it uses generic colors and a default font. You spend 20 minutes fixing it to match your brand. Multiply that by every document your team creates.

Brand Kit fixes this.

What is Brand Kit?

Brand Kit is a unified brand identity that combines:

• Theme: Your colors, fonts, and visual style
• Logos and images: Your company logo, product images, team photos
• Icons: Brand-specific icons and graphics
• AI instructions: Tone of voice, writing style, terminology preferences

When you select a Brand Kit before generating a document, AI uses all of this automatically. Every output matches your brand from the first draft.

How It Works

1. Create Your Brand

Go to the Brand Kit page and create a new brand. Give it a name, pick a theme, and upload your assets.

You can upload:

• Images: Logos, product photos, hero images, backgrounds
• Icons: Brand icons, social media icons, custom graphics

For each asset, you set a usage mode:

Mode	What It Means
Always	AI must include this asset in every document (e.g., your company logo)
Maybe	AI can use this asset if it fits the content (e.g., product screenshots)
Never	Asset is stored but AI will not use it automatically

2. Set Your AI Instructions

Write custom instructions that tell AI how to write for your brand:

"Use a professional but approachable tone. Avoid jargon. Always refer to our product as 'Acme Platform', never 'the platform'. End presentations with our tagline: Better tools, better outcomes."

These instructions are applied to every document generated with this Brand Kit.

3. Select Your Brand When Creating

When you start a new document, select your Brand Kit from the brand selector. AI will:

• Apply your theme (colors, fonts, backgrounds)
• Include your "Always" assets (logos, brand images)
• Consider your "Maybe" assets based on context
• Follow your AI writing instructions for tone and style

The result is a document that looks and sounds like your company from the first page.

Use Cases

Sales teams: Every proposal, pitch deck, and client presentation uses the same brand identity. No rogue PowerPoints with the wrong logo.

Marketing teams: Campaign decks, social content, and reports all follow brand guidelines without manual effort.

Agencies: Create separate Brand Kits for each client. Switch between them in one click. No cross-contamination.

Founders and startups: Define your brand once and focus on content, not design. Every investor deck, one-pager, and internal doc is consistent.
