Gray has a strict design system — pure black, two typefaces, one accent, one hero. Working inside constraints that tight takes more craft, not less. You will own product design across the app and the brand surfaces around it.

Set the bar for marketing surfaces: App Store, site, launch materials

About Gray
Gray is voice-first AI you operate like a terminal. You speak; it runs real work across your machines — SSH sessions, multi-agent jobs, files, scheduled tasks — then speaks back. It is self-hosted, private by architecture, and built for the people who run the internet’s plumbing. Gray is made by Layer Gray, Inc.
