**Tools** are 7 helpers for jobs that come up again and again: planning posts, checking copy, studying competitors and websites, and writing a whole website. Each tool uses what Aigio knows about your brand, so the results are written in your brand's own tone of voice.

| Tool | What it does for you |
|---|---|
| [Visual Design Brief](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools/visual-design-brief) | Asks you 10 questions about the look and feel your brand needs, then writes a visual brief. From an approved brief it can write a prompt for making your logo with an image tool. |
| [Competitor Analysis](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools/competitor-analysis) | Scans a competitor's website and explains how they position themselves, what they say and how they price. |
| [Brand Copy Chief](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools/brand-copy-chief) | Checks a piece of text against your brand voice, rewrites it in your brand voice, or both. |
| [Content Calendar](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools/content-calendar) | Plans social posts around a topic for the dates and platforms you choose. When you approve the plan, the posts are added to your **Calendar**. |
| [Web Audit](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools/web-audit) | Reviews a website for clarity, messaging and SEO, focusing on a problem you describe. |
| [Web Content Generator](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools/web-content-generator) | Guides you through 5 steps to plan your website, then writes the copy for every page. |
| [Campaign Planner](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools/campaign-planner) | Writes a campaign plan from the campaign type, objective, tone and platforms you pick. Unlike Content Calendar, it doesn't add anything to your Calendar. |

> **Content Calendar or Campaign Planner?:** Use **Content Calendar** when you want dated posts ready to put on your Calendar. Use **Campaign Planner** when you want the strategy for a campaign.
