Creative Automation is the process that streamlines the high-volume creation of personalized, on-brand graphical variants at scale.

Businesses likes retailers, brands and agencies typically deploy Creative Automation to create brand-managed, self-serve templates for the creation of personalized content. They also use Creative Automation to automate data-driven design and content variant production. This is done by connecting data sources like DAM, PIM, and CRM to the Creative Automation platform then using business logic to manipulate data to output targeted graphical content at scale.

Smart Templates are the technology at the very core of the CHILI GraFx platform. They are used to streamline and scale graphical production capabilities in every corner of the globe.

A Smart Template is a type of document—almost always, a graphical document. They can be used to output web ads, brochures, product labels, POS collateral, a digital ad, and much else besides. And they can even output all these variants at once.

They’re “Templates” because parts of their content can be modified, like a name, a price, a photo, even a color, etc. while other elements remain locked for brand consistency and campaign adherence.

They’re “Smart” because they can intelligently shape shift in multiple ways, such as dynamically altering text formatting to fit designated areas, or outputting variants of a single template for digital and print in multiple sizes—all while staying within brand guidelines. Business logic is also at the core of Smart Templates translating campaign and promotional goals into highly targeted visual assets.

Smart Templates enable users with little or no graphics knowledge to create or edit graphical content, and they can be used to automate headless graphical production full.

In a nutshell, Smart Templates enable self-service, high-volume automation, and intelligent variant production. And they the very heart of CHILI GraFx.
