The AI design agency, minus the agency.
An AI design agency is a senior design lead plus an AI engine that produces brand and marketing work on brand.
At Unfairly, your team leads the creative, a design engine makes every version in your brand, and our creatives check every piece before it ships. From $5,000 a month.
You bring the idea. We do the hard part.
What it is, and what it isn’t
“AI design agency” means two things today. Some studios design AI products. We make brand and marketing work. Here is how it compares with every other way to get it done.
| Question | AI design agency | AI product design studio | Design subscription | Traditional agency | Do it yourself with Claude |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Makes | Brand and marketing work: campaigns, decks, ads, landing pages, at every size | Apps and AI product interfaces | Requests from your queue, one or a few at a time | Identity, campaigns and big projects | Whatever your team prompts |
| Who directs | You lead. A senior design lead sets the bar. | The studio, on the product | You, through briefs | The agency, with your sign-off | You |
| Who makes | Our creatives make what is new. The engine makes every version. | Product designers | Subscription designers | Agency teams | Your team, with AI tools |
| Brand control | Brand system built first. Every piece checked. Nothing ships without your yes. | Strong on the product. Not built for marketing work. | As good as your brief | Strong on what they make | As good as your rules and your time to check |
| How you pay | From $5,000 a month, every version included | Varies by studio | A flat monthly fee | By the hour or the project | Tool seats plus your team’s time |
| Pick it when | You have a real brand and more work than people | You are building a product | You have simple requests and a tight budget | You need a new identity or a big one-off campaign | Someone on your team owns the brand and has time to check |

Questions
What is an AI design agency?
A senior design lead plus an AI engine that produces brand and marketing work on brand. People set the idea and the taste. The engine makes the versions.
How is an AI design agency different from a traditional agency?
A traditional agency has people make every piece and bills by the hour or the project. An AI design agency has people design what is new, then an engine makes every version in your brand. You pay one monthly price.
Is an AI design agency the same as an AI product design studio?
No. AI product studios design apps and AI product interfaces. An AI design agency makes brand and marketing work: campaigns, decks, ads and landing pages.
How is it different from a design subscription?
A subscription works through your request queue, one or a few at a time. An AI design agency builds your brand system first, designs what is new and checks every version before it ships.
Why not do it ourselves with Claude Design?
You can, if someone on your team owns the brand rules and has time to check every output. Without that person, work drifts off brand and the fixes land on your brand lead.
Who is an AI design agency for?
Series A to D B2B companies with a real brand and a small marketing team. Teams that pay for time saved and a world-class brand, not the cheapest design.
Is an AI creative agency different from an AI design studio?
The names overlap. Ask who makes the creative calls, who checks the work, and what you pay for. Those answers matter more than the label.
Does AI do the creative work?
No. Your team leads, our creatives design what is new, and the engine makes versions of work people have already approved.
Do you name companies or design logos?
No. We work from a real brand. If you need a name or a logo from scratch, hire an identity studio first.
Will you check our existing assets?
No. We only check work that goes through us.
What does it cost?
From $5,000 a month, every version included. No annual contract.
