Terminal
A terminal window on the brand ground: someone types a blunt question as a command, the output ticks through what is and isn't working, and the highlighted last line answers it — the dry, exact voice of a machine telling the truth.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Terminal for posts that teach, entertain or prove a point, when the message is a list, steps or a process, one sharp insight or a question. It is built first to teach.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Made for Sells to businesses. The Director offers it only to brands of that kind, so it never turns up for a business it does not suit.

What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- The command is the reader's question in kebab-case words; output lines are short facts from the copy.
- The answer line is the post's point, plainly; no invented numbers.
Visual rules
- A dark terminal window on a solid brand ground: a bar with three quiet dots and the host name, a mono prompt with the command, ticked and crossed output lines, a highlighted answer line with an arrow and a block cursor.
- Logo top-left, website top-right.
