Frequently asked questions

Is MyDesigner a good alternative to Penji?
Yes, when your team needs more than a task queue. MyDesigner is an AI-native creative team for growing companies, combining human creative direction, AI-powered execution, Client Memory, and delivery across web, product, brand, and growth.
What is the biggest difference between MyDesigner and Penji?
The useful comparison is creative operating model. Penji can be a fit for teams that mainly need a reliable queue for graphic design or video/motion output. MyDesigner is designed for teams that need business context, brand consistency, web/product capability, and creative memory to compound over time.
When should we choose MyDesigner?
Choose MyDesigner when creative is becoming an operating bottleneck: website updates, landing pages, product UI, campaign assets, founder content, sales decks, and brand consistency all need to move without hiring a full internal team.
When should we choose Penji?
Choose Penji when you mainly need high-volume standalone graphics or video/motion requests and already have strategy, web/product design, and brand system ownership elsewhere.
How does Client Memory change the comparison?
Client Memory is the living creative system behind an account: brand rules, examples, templates, prompts, past decisions, rejected directions, and performance learnings. It matters because you are not only buying today’s asset; you are buying whether the next asset starts from more context than the last one.
Does MyDesigner use AI?
Yes. MyDesigner uses AI-powered execution to move faster, but human creative direction stays responsible for taste, quality, brand consistency, and final judgment.
How should we compare pricing?
Compare pricing after you know the operating model you need. A production queue, a solo designer, an agency project, and an AI-native creative team solve different problems, so the better question is which model removes your current creative bottleneck.
