Human-supervised AI handles everything
Describe your business in plain English. The AI generates keywords, ad copy, targeting, and budget recommendations — all reviewed by human experts before going live.
Rules: Max 65–75 characters per line. Use fluid typography with clamp(). Strong weight contrast between headlines (700) and body (400).
Spacing — 8pt Grid
All spacing values derive from an 8-point base grid. Use only these values for margin, padding, and gaps.
Section spacing: 80–120px desktop, 48–64px mobile (30–40% reduction). Generous whitespace is a core brand principle.

Sidebar — Floating Panel (Inset Sidebar)
Desktop navigation uses a floating panel pattern (similar to macOS Ventura Finder). The sidebar floats over the dotted background with rounded corners and a card shadow, rather than sitting flush against the viewport edge.
White bg, 1px #E0E0E0 border, 16px radius, shadow 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08), 12px margin from viewport edges.
Expanded: 240px wide. Collapsed: 72px wide — same floating style.

Content Voice
Tone
Clear. Direct. Results-focused.
Stealth speaks like a sharp marketing expert, not a SaaS brochure. Short sentences. Lead with outcomes. Use numbers.
Key Rules
- Short sentences: 8–15 words
- Lead with benefits, not features
- Use "you/your" — speak to the reader
- Use numbers: "5 minutes", "24/7", "3 ad variations"
- Contractions OK ("we'll", "don't", "you're")
- No jargon or buzzwords
Headlines & CTAs
- "Launch Google Ad campaigns in 5 minutes"
- "Your AI marketing team, always on"
- "Generate free campaign"
- "Create free campaign"
- "See it in action"
- "Revolutionary AI-Powered Marketing Solution"
- "Unlock Unprecedented Growth"
- "Get Started"
- "Learn More"
- "Submit"
Visual Design
- Blue (#4A90E2) for CTAs and accents only
- Generous whitespace (80–120px sections)
- Subtle shadows (opacity ≤ 0.08)
- 8–16px border radius
- Sections alternate: light → white → dark
- Purple, bright gradients, or off-palette colors
- Overuse blue in decorative elements
- Excessive shadows or cluttered layouts
- Fully rounded cards or 0px corners
- Stock photography as hero images
