Ready to Master Brono? The Ultimate Friendly Guide & Pro Tips

Welcome to your complete guide to Brono, the AI design studio built specifically to help you elevate the quality and speed of your workflow. Whether you are just starting out or you are a seasoned pro, learning how to perfectly navigate its features, write the best prompts, and use its integrations will seriously supercharge your design process.

Let’s dive into everything you need to know from the sources, packed with extra details and friendly tips to make your life easier!

1. Choosing the Right Processing Mode

When you start a project, Brono gives you a few options on how it processes your requests. Choosing the right one helps you balance amazing quality with your credit balance:

• Standard vs. Expert Mode: Standard mode is your best friend for about 90% of your daily design tasks. It charges you based purely on the screens or tokens you generate and yields fantastic results. Expert mode, on the other hand, costs four times as much, but it is the perfect choice when your prompt has highly complex or specific requirements.
• Fast Processing: By default, Brono acts like a collaborative partner, asking you clarifying questions to gather data before it starts designing. But if you are in a rush and just want immediate results without the chat, toggle on "Fast Processing" to force the AI to design instantly.
• Bonus Tip: If you ever run into a bug, don't panic! Brono has a built-in support ticket system at the bottom left. Just describe the issue, and the team usually replies in under 24 hours (sometimes even within 2 hours!).

2. Prompting Secrets (Talk to Brono Like a Pro!)

How you talk to Brono makes all the difference.

• Ditch the ChatGPT Bloat: Copy-pasting massive prompts from ChatGPT can actually confuse Brono. For example, if ChatGPT tells Brono to "build this in Next.js," Brono gets confused because it is a design tool, not a coding engine. Keep your prompts pure, direct, and focused on design to save your credits and get better results.
• Use the Right Verbs: Avoid generic commands like "create" or "make me." Instead, always start your prompts with strong design actions like "design," "show," "add," or "edit".
• The Golden Prompt Structure: The absolute easiest way to get what you want is to state the project in the first line (e.g., "Mobile food delivery app"), list the exact screens you need on the next lines (e.g., Home, Cart), and finish with your desired theme, style, and font.
• Fonts & Icons Galore: Brono supports awesome icon sets like MingCute, Tabler, and Phosphor. It also natively supports a huge array of fonts, including Inter, Poppins, Lexend, Roboto, and Cairo.
  • Pro Tip for Arabic Text: If you are designing in Arabic and seeing weird question marks, simply switch your font to IBM Plex Sans Arabic, Inter, or Cairo to fix it instantly!

3. Powerful & Budget-Friendly Editing Did you know that editing an existing design costs fewer credits than generating a new one from scratch? Here is how to tweak your designs perfectly:

• Add vs. Edit: If you tell the AI to "add a screen," it will consume more credits to design it from scratch. If you tell it to "edit," it uses a cheaper, targeted function. You can edit an entire screen, or use "Scoped Edit" to select a specific component and modify just that part.
• The Visual Tuner: This handy menu lets you change global properties—like background colors, borders, image styles, and fonts—across the whole screen. Important: Always make sure to hit the "Save" button after using the Visual Tuner, or all your lovely changes will vanish!
• Manual Element Editor: If you want total control without spending any AI credits, just double-click any element. This opens an editor where you can manually change text content, colors, sizes, and even absolute positioning, just like you would in a traditional design tool.

4. Your Personal AI Design Critic One of the coolest things about Brono is its built-in auditing feature. You can run it on a generated screen, or simply paste a screenshot from anywhere directly into the canvas.

• The AI will review your design for visual hierarchy, layout consistency, and accessibility.
• Color-Coded Feedback: Red means critical issues you should fix immediately, Yellow highlights areas you should rethink, and Blue (Info) offers subjective recommendations you can take or leave.
• Auto-Fix & Export: You can select specific issues to fix, or just hit "Fix All" and let the AI resolve them for you automatically. Need to share this feedback with your team? You can easily download the audit as a handy PDF.

5. Seamless Figma Integration  Brono and Figma are a match made in heaven. Currently, Brono offers unlimited imports and exports to Figma without using a single credit!

• You can copy screens straight from Brono and paste them into Figma with fully editable layers.
• You can also copy a Figma frame and paste it directly into Brono to use the AI editing or auditing tools.
• Figma Pro Tip: If your Figma file is set to private, Brono won't be able to import the images inside your frames. Just temporarily set your Figma file to "Public," paste it into Brono, and then switch it back to private!

6. Advanced Hacks: MCP, Heatmaps, and the Desktop App

Ready to take it to the next level?

• Predictive Heatmaps: If you want to know exactly where a user will look first, use the heatmap tool. It maps out standard reading patterns (like the F and Z patterns) so you can perfectly position your most important buttons or headlines.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): This is a game-changer for advanced users. Brono integrates directly with AI environments like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT. You can literally chat with Claude, ask it to prompt Brono for a design, and even have Claude build a functional, clickable prototype out of Brono's designs—all without leaving your chat window!
• Desktop App: If you want a distraction-free experience with a wider canvas (no annoying browser tabs!), Brono offers a native desktop application that you can download right from the platform.

Happy designing! If you keep these tips in mind, you will be mastering Brono and creating stunning UI layouts in no time.
