It commits to one art direction, then designs to it.

Not nine variations you have to judge. It settles concept, palette, type pairing and depth first, then composes the piece to that direction and proofs its own work.

Free, no card. Every editor is free, with no trial timer.

01What it does

An art director, a template library and a proof reader.

Design tools give you a canvas. This one also decides what the piece should look like, builds it, then looks at the render.

01Direct

One direction, locked before anything is drawn.

Concept, palette, type pairing and depth language are settled up front. Everything after is composed to that decision instead of drifting piece by piece.

  • Concept and palette chosen together, not per element
  • Type pairing and depth language fixed early
  • Brand kits applied, so it is your palette

02Purpose-built builders

A poster is laid out differently from a carousel, and the tools know the difference. There is no generic “make a design” call.

Magic resize adapts one design across platforms

03It is a whiteboard too

Mind maps, flowcharts, kanban and sticky brainstorms on the same canvas.

Thinking and making in one app

04Your brand, saved

Palette, type and logos saved once, then every later piece is composed to them.

05It looks at the render

The review phase is not a claim. It rasterises what it made, looks at it, and runs deterministic checks over the result.

Overlap and contrast checks on real geometry

02LumenAgent in LumenDesign

A launch poster, planned in five phases.

It stops once, before spending your AI allowance on a generated image. Decline and it composes from the element library instead, which costs nothing.

Image generation draws on your monthly AI allowance, so it is set to Ask by default. Decline and the run composes from the element library instead.

03The full toolkit

What LumenDesign actually does.

Making things

Purpose-built builders, not one generic call.

  • Posters, cards, marketing and campaigns
  • Logos and full logo systems, plus brand sheets
  • Carousels, mockups, QR codes, calendars
  • Timelines, funnels, pyramids, Venn diagrams

Art direction

The decisions that make a piece coherent.

  • One direction locked before composition
  • Palette generation and theme application
  • Brand kits saved, reapplied, or read from a URL
  • A template library to start from something real

Photos and finishing

The last ten percent that usually gets skipped.

  • Enhance, clean and grade photos in place
  • Overlap and contrast checks on real geometry
  • Magic resize across platform ratios
  • Preflight before publishing

04Works with the rest

It designs from your real documents.

The copy on a poster should come from the one-pager that already exists, not from a guess at what you sell.

  1. search_library

    It reads across everything

    Every saved document: PDFs, sheets, decks, boards, forms and notebooks, not just the one that is open.

  2. work_on_document

    It hands work to the right editor

    That document’s own AI does the job, so a spreadsheet is built by the spreadsheet engine.

  3. create_document

    It turns the board into something else

    A new doc, sheet, PDF, deck or note from what it just made, opened in the right editor.

05Questions

Common questions

Is LumenDesign free?

The editor is, with no trial timer and no watermark, and a free account includes a monthly AI allowance on Lumen Fast, which Automatic can step up to Lumen Core. Generating images with AI is on Pro and above, and draws on that allowance.

What are the five phases?

The real execution plan: Brief, Direct, Compose, Polish and Review here. Phases depend on the engine and the brief, and advance on real tool calls, not a timer.

Does it actually look at what it made?

Yes. It rasterises the board and looks at the result, then runs deterministic checks. A score is a floor, not a verdict: it reports defects, not quality.

Can it use my brand?

Save a brand kit once, with palette, type and logos, and later pieces are composed to it. You can also seed a kit from a URL.

Design that commits.

One direction, your brand, real copy, and a proof pass before you publish.
