Creative production at scale doesn’t have to be chaotic. CHILI GraFx turns complex brand execution into an automated, intelligent workflow. It’s built for speed, control, and seamless integration with any tech stack.
More than 80% of brands report that workflow inefficiencies directly affect their bottom line, while most believe automation and AI will be the long-term fix (see Brandwidth Report).
Visual content automation is no longer optional. This post explains what CHILI GraFx is, how it works, and why it’s the AI-powered visual content automation platform enterprise teams rely on to accelerate brand-safe, multichannel output.
CHILI GraFx is a visual content automation platform that combines a composition model, AI, and enterprise-grade infrastructure to deliver automated brand content at scale. It centralizes assets, brand management, and automated graphic production so teams can design once and output everywhere.
From dynamic design systems that adapt to data and formatting rules to AI-powered automation that enforces brand guidelines while enabling rapid multichannel adaptations, CHILI GraFx streamlines the entire creative production pipeline for digital, print, and motion graphics while preserving creative freedom and brand control.
The engine for composition and deployment. Designers build dynamic design systems that power everything from localized banners and print brochures to animated content, using data-driven logic and automated layout features.
The brand execution portal for safe self-serve asset production. GraFx Experience is CHILI GraFx’s brand execution portal – a secure front-end where local teams and partners personalize approved dynamic layouts without breaking the brand. Role-based controls keep permissions tight, so marketers can self-serve while approvals and guardrails stay intact.

The AI-powered assistant that works across the platform. GraFx Genie powers features like AI Resizing, Smart Crop, Auto-Grow, and Copy Fitting to automate tedious tasks while keeping results on-brand. It also assists with writing logic and code for complex business rules.
The central source of truth for your brand identity. GraFx Brand Kits store and manage your core brand elements – logos, fonts, colors, and assets – in one place. They enforce brand consistency across dynamic layouts and output channels while giving local teams controlled flexibility.
The asset management hub. Store and manage approved media assets inside the platform so layouts always pull the right content. You can also connect your own DAM through the GraFx Connector Framework or the open API.
Centralized brand font management. Keep licensed fonts in one place and make access intuitive for everyone who needs them.
CHILI GraFx brings design, data, and automation together into a single production flow. At a high level, the process looks like this:
Designers build dynamic layouts that combine layout intelligence, data bindings, and business rules. This is where brand logic, formatting rules, and responsive behavior are defined.
Design systems can be exposed to end users in a controlled self-serve portal, or integrated headlessly into automated workflows for large-scale production. Both paths use the same underlying models.
GraFx Media and GraFx Fonts ensure that every layout pulls from a single, approved source of truth. This eliminates mismatched logos, outdated images, or missing font files.
Genie enhances both setup and output production with AI features like Smart Crop, AI Resizing, Auto-Grow, and Copy Fitting. It removes the manual work typically required to adapt designs for multiple channels.

Once the design system is defined, CHILI GraFx automatically generates on-brand variants for digital, print, and motion graphics. No more manual resizing, reformatting, or version cleanup.
A follow-up article will go deeper into data-driven production, end-user customization workflows, and how these models come together in real implementation scenarios.
CHILI GraFx is built to fit into existing enterprise stacks, not replace them. Its API-first architecture and Connector Framework make it easy to link design systems and dynamic layouts to the tools you already use.
The platform supports plug-and-play GraFx Connectors for leading systems, including Canto and Kadanza, so approved assets flow directly into your layouts without manual handoff. For deeper platform integration, CHILI GraFx also offers direct integrations with solutions like Sitecore and Acquia, allowing content, data, and brand elements to move seamlessly across ecosystems.
The open APIs support DAM, PIM, CRM, CMS, and other data sources, while the SDK lets you embed the GraFx Studio editor experience inside your own applications or build bespoke Connectors for unique workflows. CHILI GraFx becomes part of your ecosystem — never another silo.
