introduction

Greptile is an AI-powered code review tool used by fast-moving dev teams such as:

problem statement

Greptile shipped fast.The main concern was that the UI and brand were lagging behind their product velocity.

Legacy UI didn’t reflect product quality

It caused mistrust amongst

the users

No design system and lack of ui consistency in the product

Brand identity lacked memorability

UX inconsistencies slowing down dev

STRATEGIC Branding SPRINT

We didn’t just give Greptile a fresh coat of paint. We gave them a brutalist-minimalist armor.

New brand identity direction → aligned with dev-first ICP

It caused mistrust amongst

the users

Brutalist minimalism + flat color with expressive accents

Logo, typography, color palette, spacing system

The Greptile Design System became their internal launchpad.

Built to be scalable

It caused mistrust amongst

the users

Modular, atomic design system for flexibility

Dev-first documentation for fast implementation

WEB APP RESKIN

Every screen. Every edge. Now pixel-aligned with the brand

Built to be scalable
