Frequently Asked Questions

CAFECITO is an 8-shot operating system that turns scrambled SaaS copy into a living Prompt & Voice Library. Each letter represents a voice-first question that builds your AI-ready brand system—no dashboards, no BI plumbing, just brand voice brewed strong enough for AI to drink.

The 8 pillars are: Context (your 25-word who+why), Affinity (vibe that sparks connection), Feedback Loops (edits that train AI), Experience (same friend, any channel), Cohesion (JSON rules), Iteration (weekly prompt tests), Trust (AI-assisted transparency), and Outcomes (before/after proof).

Born from Miami's vibrant culture, "cafecito" represents the daily ritual that keeps the 305 running. Like a perfectly brewed Cuban coffee, each ingredient matters, but the magic happens when they work together in perfect harmony. Miss one element, and the whole thing falls flat.

Plus, AJ grew up where the pulse of Miami runs through your veins like perfectly mixed cafecito—this framework brings that same authentic, energetic approach to AI-powered brand strategy.

Traditional brand guidelines are PDFs that collect dust. CAFECITO creates a living Prompt & Voice Library that teaches AI tools like GPT to sound unmistakably like you. We're not just documenting your voice—we're programming it into your content creation workflow.

While others focus on logos and color palettes, we focus on voice-first systems that scale personality through prompts. Every deliverable is designed to work with AI, not against it.

Your Voice Charter is the foundational document that defines your "who + why" so AI models can recite it in 25 on-brand words. It's like scouting the beach before planting your umbrella—you need to understand the landscape before you can establish your unique position.

Without a Voice Charter, AI tools default to vanilla corporate speak. With one, GPT suddenly knows whether you're the "irreverent startup that calls BS on industry myths" or the "thoughtful advisor who speaks human, not jargon."

Think of your Prompt Library as Channel-Switch instructions for AI. We create specific prompts for each platform—blog posts, LinkedIn updates, Zendesk macros, email campaigns—that maintain your voice while adapting to the context.

For example, instead of asking GPT to "write a blog post about our new feature," you'd use: "Write a blog post in [YourBrand]'s conversational-yet-expert tone that explains our new feature like you're talking to a friend who's smart but not technical. Include a real-world scenario and end with a question to spark discussion."

Radical transparency builds trust. Every piece of AI-generated content gets a clear badge indicating it was "AI-assisted, human-vetted"—meaning we used AI tools to create the first draft, but a human reviewed, edited, and approved it.

This approach actually increases trust rather than decreasing it. People appreciate honesty about AI use, and it positions your brand as a thoughtful early adopter rather than someone trying to hide AI involvement.

Exactly 6 weeks with weekly milestones:

• Week 1: Voice Foundation (Context + Affinity)
• Week 2: Feedback Systems (Red-Pen workflows)
• Week 3: Prompt Library (Experience + Cohesion)
• Week 4: Iteration Habit (weekly prompt tests)
• Week 5: Trust Layer (AI Use Policy)
• Week 6: Proof Points (Swipe-Compare gallery)

Each week includes a 1:1 strategy session plus implementation work. By week 6, your team passes the "sounds-like-us" quiz at 80%+ and AI drafts get approved in under 2 revisions.

Absolutely not. If you can copy-paste prompts into ChatGPT or Claude, you can use CAFECITO. We design everything for marketing teams, not engineers.

The Brand-Voice JSON we create looks technical but it's just organized instructions. Think of it like a recipe—anyone can follow it to get consistent results, even if they didn't create the original formula.

Even better! You already understand the time-saving potential. CAFECITO takes your existing AI workflow and adds the voice consistency layer that's probably missing.

Most teams using AI get generic outputs because they're using generic prompts. We help you create branded prompts that make AI sound like your team wrote it, not like every other SaaS company on the planet.
