Store reusable brand systems, product views, character voices, and location references as typed Brain records with individual sockets.
Where: Brain → create a record, or a Brain Read card → record picker → New record of the selected type.
Key ideas
- A record is reusable source material: A Brain record holds a named body and typed fields. Bind it to Brain Read to use its outputs in several flows. Changing a reference record is different from editing a generated result: it changes the source a later run can read.
- Fields become typed sockets: Each field has its own rf_<key>_out socket; the record body uses record_out. An image field can feed an image input, a voice field can feed a voice-profile input, and a design-system field can feed a design-system input. Type is functional, not merely a label.
- Presets remain extensible: Persona, Business profile, Document, and Dataset remain available alongside the expanded Brand and new Product, Character, and Place presets. Workspace-defined record types are also supported; a preset is not a closed list of everything your Brain can store.
Steps
- Create a Brain record of the appropriate type and give it a recognizable name.
- Fill its written body and the individual media fields. Use named angles rather than burying all images inside a JSON field.
- Bind a Brain Read card from its picker; confirm the card shows the chosen record’s name and field rail.
- Wire only the fields the consumer needs. For example, Product Front view and Detail can both feed an image generator, while Character Voice feeds a voice-profile input.
- Run the consumer and inspect whether the intended identity, angle, or brand system actually arrived. Save later edits back to the record when they should become reusable source material.
Brand fields
- Brand guidelines, Design system, Logo, Mission, Audience, Tone of voice, and Emotions.
- Web system CSS, Video system CSS, Web example, Video example, Web motion, and Video motion keep the two target masters separate.
- Motion fields carry authored GSAP text; a brand’s motion socket is not a rendered video.
Product fields
- Product brief, Tagline, Main image, Front view, Back view, Side view, Detail, 3D model, Materials and finish, Signature color, and Spec sheet.
- The Spec sheet is a dataset read as one table; the named image angles remain independently wireable image fields.
Character fields
- Character bio, Portrait, Full body, Side profile, Back view, Wardrobe, Tone of voice, Voice, Voice sample, and 3D model.
- Voice is a picked or cloned provider voice reference. Voice sample is actual audio used to create a clone; the two sockets are not interchangeable.
Place fields
- Place brief, Establishing shot, Exterior, Interior, Detail, Light and time of day, Environment map, 3D set, and Ambience.
- Environment map is an HDRI field for lighting a 3D scene. Ambience is audio, while 3D set is a mesh.
Brain in projects and shared workspaces
Brain supplies Designer with structured project context through the full From your Brain picker, record mentions, pinned standing context, record-part targeting, and Save Research. It is not a hosted Designer page or right-dock tab. Folder/team homes and item-level sharing remain in the full Brain surface, and access is governed by the record/project role.
Troubleshooting
A record field cannot connect to the intended input.
Check its declared type. A text clone ID is not a voice-profile field, and a dataset of URLs does not expose separately typed angle sockets.
The picker has no matching records.
Confirm the workspace/project scope and record type, then use the inline New action or create the record in Brain. Do not confuse a failed library read with an empty library.
