Owner
Keeps the page
One person edits the rules. Changes are dated.
One short rules page, one owner and one place to keep it. Then every team member gets the same on-brand drafts.
Free: your brand in 3 real designs, in 48 hours.
Write one short brand rules page: voice, words to avoid, approved facts and visual rules. Keep it in one place. Everyone loads the same page into ChatGPT or Claude before they write.
Give it one owner. Check it once a month. Without that, each person sets their own rules, and the brand drifts.
That is how a team goes off brand.
Sales has a prompt. Marketing has another. The CEO types it fresh each time. Each gets a slightly different voice. After a quarter, the company sounds like five people.
The fix is shared rules. Start from ChatGPT and Claude projects on brand for how to load them.

One page. Fill in the brackets. Keep it under a page.
BRAND RULES - [Company] - updated [date], owner: [name] VOICE: [3 words]. Short sentences. Say I or we: [pick one]. WORDS WE USE: [list 8] WORDS WE NEVER USE: [list 10] FACTS YOU MAY QUOTE: [list, each with its source] FACTS YOU MUST NOT INVENT: customer names, numbers, dates, awards. VISUAL RULES: colours [codes], fonts [names], logo: use the supplied file. BEFORE YOU ANSWER: say which rules you followed and flag any doubt. SIGN-OFF: [how emails and posts end]

AI tools write the words. The design still needs a home.
ChatGPT and Claude can follow voice rules. Layouts, logo and photos are harder to hold. In a Brand OS Portal, the team makes posts from ready designs, and AI Kit gives ChatGPT and Claude the same brand rules. Voice Check looks at the words and Image Grader at the photos.

Brand OS Core Portal. The CEO writes and designs an on-brand LinkedIn post in about 3 minutes.

Brand OS Pro Portal. The team makes its own posts. No waiting.
