Creative Automation technology released

In this major production release, CHILI publish included 4 applications of the CHILI GraFx platform: GraFx Publisher®, GraFx Studio®, GraFx Media®, and GraFx Fonts®.

Productivity enhancement & Brand enablement technology released

Other significant components of today’s release include our Smart Template Designer AI Assistant, GraFx Genie®, Actions and My Projects, aimed at driving productivity and brand enablement of non-designers.

Increased value for our users

Today’s release drives incremental value across 4 major use cases for CHILI GraFx users:

1. Multichannel Creative Automation

CHILI GraFx supports creative automation across Print, Digital and Animated Graphics. All supported workflows rely on Smart Templates connected to shared resources for media and fonts, which can be in-platform, or external to the platform (e.g. Digital Asset Management Systems (DAM) and Product Information Management systems (PIM)).

In upcoming releases, these shared resources will include GraFx Data®, GraFx Stylekits®, and GraFx Insights®, to further accelerate data-driven creative automation and brand governance at scale. For more information, visit the CHILI GraFx platform page.

2. Smart Creative Automation

GraFx Smart Templates allow designers to produce multichannel graphics based on a limited set of core creative resources. This removes the tedious task of manually versioning out all the variants needed to deploy multichannel promotional campaigns across online and offline marketing channels.

With the help of our proprietary AI assistant, GraFx Genie® and Actions, Smart Template Designers can drastically reduce new template creation time. As a result, average time to market of new marketing activities can be reduced by up to 80 percent, allowing brands to dramatically increase market activity and reallocate precious design hours to more impactful design work.

To boost both the reach and the usage of branded assets, My Projects allows central brand teams and (in-house) agencies to expose non-designers to Smart Templates and produce the brand assets they need to keep moving forward in their day-to-day business process.

3. Lights-Out Creative Automation

The CHILI GraFx platform can be operated as a turn-key solution, or integrated as part of a headless machine-to-machine production cycle, with upstream and downstream integrations through the API that can ingest core design assets and deliver endless output versions based on preset requirements.

Our API is fully exposed and documented, and comes with an SDK. Developers can configure the end-to-end creative automation process without constraints and work in real-time, providing down-to-the-minute details.

4. Connected Creative Automation

Advanced Marketing Operations can’t scale in a vacuum. That’s why CHILI GraFx comes with a Connector Framework that allows for connections with common MarTech solutions like Sitecore, Bynder, Acquia, and Lytho.
