## The same request and facts, with and without visualize.

Move the boundary. The facts stay fixed while hierarchy, typography, color, and composition resolve around the visual direction.

**Wayline retention investigation** – Week-three customer drop-off

_Fictional example using sample data_

**Without visualize – Generic AI output:** Customer retention insights. Your retention data shows an opportunity to improve onboarding and engagement.

**With visualize – Output designed for your brand:** Retention breaks after week three. Activation is healthy. Habit formation is not. Product leadership should review the handoff after the third weekly session.

### Conversation leading to the visual doc

- **You:** Can you take a look at last quarter’s retention data? I’m trying to understand where people fall off.
- Agent activity: Read retention-q3.csv
- Agent activity: Compared return rates by weekly session
- **Agent:** The largest break is between the third and fourth weekly sessions: 28% fewer users return.
- **Agent:** Return rates are relatively steady before that, so the issue seems concentrated in the handoff from onboarding to an ongoing habit.
- **You:** This is going into product review next week. Where would you focus?
- **Agent:** I’d start with what changes after session three.
- **Agent:** Look at what users have completed by then, whether they have a clear reason to return for a fourth session, and which prompt or workflow is supposed to pull them forward.
- **You:** Can you turn this into a visual doc I can use in the product review?

### Why do these look different?

**Without visualize:** Makes a generic doc. Same conversation, but nothing tells it to follow your style or test the finished doc.

**With visualize:** Plans, designs, and checks the doc.

- **Before designing:** Choose the key finding; Identify the reader; Decide what they should do next
- **While designing:** Lead with the answer; Use Wayline’s fonts and orange; Keep the doc simple
- **Before finishing:** Facts are correct; Looks right on phones and computers; Text is readable; Nothing is cut off

## Reports, decks, diagrams. Made for the job.

Reports, architecture, decks, reviews, and plans – each directed for its audience and job. These are real HTML files, not product mockups.

## Teach it your brand once.

Choose what it can inspect. Review what it learns. Nothing is saved until you approve it.

1. **Choose what it can inspect:** You decide where visualize may look. Your website (Colors, fonts, voice); Your codebase (Tokens, components, layout); Existing work (Reports, slides, diagrams).
2. **It learns, then asks:** It finds the obvious choices and asks about anything unclear. It checks Colors, Typography, Layout, Voice. **One thing it cannot tell:** “Should future documents feel restrained or expressive?”
3. **Review the full guide:** visualize shows you every proposed file before it writes anything. “Three files ready to review” is marked Not saved while you review DESIGN.md, PRODUCT.md, tokens.css. Review all three.
4. **Approve and save:** Only after you approve it does visualize save the guide in your project. It writes `DESIGN.md` (How it should look), `PRODUCT.md` (Who it is for), `tokens.css` (Colors and type) and marks the direction “Approved and saved.”

**Future visual docs use the same approved guide.** Report · presentation · diagram.

## Keep directing the same doc.

Ask for the change you want. visualize revises the hierarchy, evidence, or level of finish without making you edit the HTML.

_Fictional example using sample data_

**Northline · pricing research:** Interview signal: 9/14 asked for budget predictability.

### How the document changes

**Finished document:** Pricing research. The finished document before follow-up direction. Teams want predictable annual spend, but the strongest signal is concentrated among larger customers. Document state: Working document. Resulting headline: Pricing research.

1. **Request 01:** “Lead with the recommendation.” The recommendation now leads the document. Do not change the default offer yet. Test annual plans with growth-stage teams, where demand is strongest. Document state: Recommendation first. Resulting headline: Pilot annual plans first. (1 of 3 requests applied).
2. **Request 02:** “Show me the evidence behind it.” The supporting evidence is now visible beside the recommendation. Do not change the default offer yet. Test annual plans with growth-stage teams, where demand is strongest. Document state: Evidence included. Resulting headline: Pilot annual plans first. (2 of 3 requests applied).
3. **Request 03 · polish:** “Polish this for the final review.” The document has completed its final quality pass. Do not change the default offer yet. Test annual plans with growth-stage teams, where demand is strongest. Document state: Decision brief · v1. Resulting headline: Pilot annual plans first. (3 of 3 requests applied).

**Recommendation:** Pilot annual plans with growth-stage teams before changing the default offer.

**Evidence by company stage:** Growth 82; Early 38; Enterprise 61. Source: 14 customer interviews · April 2026

## Your agent handles the setup.

It checks your setup, tells you exactly what it plans to change, and waits for your approval.

**Example agent response (Codex · visualize setup):**

**You:** Fetch https://usevisualize.ai/agent-setup.md and follow the instructions.

**Agent:** I’ll check which agent is running and whether visualize is already installed before I change anything.

**Agent activity:**

- Read agent-setup.md
- Detected Codex
- Checked project and user skill folders

**Agent:** I found no existing copy. I can add the reviewed visualize release to this project at .agents/skills/visualize.

**Waiting for your approval.** No files have changed. Approval required.

Works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes, and Pi. [View installation details](https://usevisualize.ai/docs/install)
