For design studios

The work around the design, done your way.

Mycel is an AI team for design studios. It writes the research, audits, hand-offs and updates the way your studio does them, finds you new clients, and waits for your yes.

First client-work deliverable free, no card. Plans from $19.99/month.

  • Notion

  • Webflow

Half of every project is writing about the design.
Mycel carries that half with you.

Another research summary. Another hand-off doc. Another weekly update for a client who wants it by Friday. The studio grows only as fast as the designers can write.

Model the time in your monthly client work.

36 hours

potentially freed each month, 5 of your 22 working days: if review takes a quarter of the writing time.

Start with one job

What your clients already get from you.
Prepared the way you prepare it.

  1. UX audit write-up

    per audit

    Findings ranked by impact, each with the screen, the problem and the fix.

  2. Research synthesis

    per study

    Themes from the interviews, with quotes, and what they mean for the design.

  3. Hand-off document

    per release

    Every screen's states, rules and edge cases, written for the developers.

  4. Weekly client update

    weekly

    What shipped, what is next, and the decisions the client owes you.

  5. Proposal and scope

    per lead

    Phases, deliverables and fee in your format, from a short brief.

  6. Invoice follow-ups

    weekly

    Sent with the milestone, followed up politely when late.

Waiting for your approval

Approve and send

Start with work you already owe a client.

    Name the client work.

    What you owe the client, and when it is due.

    Add the client's files.

    Include a past example you've accepted, if available.

  3. 03

    Open the checked work.

    Review, edit, and resolve requests for missing information.

  4. 04

    Deliver under your rules. Repeat.

    Set delivery rules and methods to reuse next period.
