The Design Studio and Dune
The Design Studio is where Dune, CoraVision's creative director, designs things for your business in your brand: an email newsletter, a website page, a social media post or a social media ad. You tell Dune out loud what you want, Dune builds it from your brand style guide, and you change it by talking to Dune until it is right.
- You have had your session two call and chosen a plan. Before that, the studio is locked.
- CoraVision can use your microphone. See Allow the microphone and camera.
- Your sound is on: Dune talks to you.

Common questions
Why does a pop-up appear when I click in the studio?
The studio is locked. Before session two the pop-up says The Design Studio unlocks after your session two call and gives your next step. After session two, if you have not chosen a plan, it says The Design Studio is ready for you; click See the packages to choose one.
Do I have to talk, or can I type?
Talking is the main way in, and you can click Dune's choices instead of saying them. To change a design you can also type: click Or type what you want changed… under the microphone.
Who is Dune?
Dune is CoraVision's creative director, one of Cora's colleagues. You first meet Dune in your onboarding call, when Dune presents your brand style guide. See Who is who.
Does Dune publish anything for me?
No. Nothing leaves the studio until you export it yourself.
