Your tech stack and tools

The core stack (everything you actually need)

• Intempt console (This is where your library, brand kit and designs live)
• Asset library (This is the one place every asset lives, ready for any journey)
• Brand Kit (This is how Blu learns your brand, so everything it makes looks like you)
• Blu Chat (This is how you create avatars, scenes and designs, just by asking)
• Design System (This is how you restyle any asset in one click)

Highly recommended optional upgrades that level up your work

• Avatars (This is how you get the same brand character in every image)
• Poses (This is how you control how that character stands and is framed)
• Scenes (This is how you keep the same backdrop across every photo)
• Brand Kit in Settings (This is how your emails and messages pick up your colors and logo)
