BrandGuard is an AI platform for checking marketing content against brand guidelines. It scores brand principles such as visual style and tone, precision details such as logos, fonts and colors, and safety concerns including violence, nudity and profanity. Listed content includes ads, social media updates, images, product descriptions, blog posts and landing pages. BrandGuide Builder turns brand identity into a style guide and creates examples users can approve or reject. BrandGPT offers a chat interface for questions about guidelines. Assets can be scored in the console, through a Chrome extension or with the API; the API can process one asset or thousands at a time and offers endpoints for embedding checks in workflows. The extension gives line-by-line writing feedback in Chrome and can scan images made with Midjourney, DALL-E, Stability, Firefly or Photoshop. The free-trial setup asks for 30–50 on-brand and off-brand assets, with scoring ready after 2–3 hours. Pricing is on request; a free plan and free trial are listed. BrandGuard says it is pursuing SOC 2 certification.
