Design Genie

Can I buy another Design Genie brief?

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

Yes, on the website. Once your month's briefs and any earned briefs are used, the send button reads Pay and send. The brief is screened, paid through checkout, then filed at once. What you paid comes off that design's price the first time you pay for it.

Out of briefs but not out of ideas? You do not have to wait for next month or change plan.

How it works

  1. Write your brief on the brief page as usual. The amber box says your briefs for this month are used and names the price of one more; the send button reads "Send to Genie · price".
  2. Choose Send to Genie, read the confirmation, and choose **Pay price and send**.
  3. Pay on the checkout page. The brief is filed the moment the payment goes through, and you land in its studio with Genie already at work.

The brief is screened before the payment page opens, so a declined brief costs nothing; see Brief guard rails. A bought brief takes none of the month's slots.

What it costs

The price depends on your plan, with a lower price on paid plans, and is shown on the brief page and the pricing page in your own currency, with sales tax where it applies.

What you paid comes off that design's price the first time you pay for a design drafted from that brief, on the line "less your extra brief" at checkout. This applies once, for you, in the currency you paid in, and only while the design costs more than you paid; a second invitation on the same design pays in full. On a plan that includes Design Genie designs there is nothing to take it off, so the price is simply the brief's.

If something goes wrong

  • Leave the payment page and nothing is charged or filed. Back on the brief page you read "The payment was cancelled, so nothing was charged and the brief was not sent." Your answers are not kept across the payment page, so you fill the brief in again.
  • A bought brief that fails on Nimanto's side gives you a banked brief back.
  • The purchase is listed under Payments & billing as "Design Genie brief". See Orders and receipts.
