Training material

Following the completion of the extensive AG Docs written documentation sub-site, we plan to further develop our AG Chatbot to help produce improved, tailored step-by-step instructions.

Astute Graphics continues to produce numerous quick learn tutorials on our Instagram channel, Learn page, plus in-depth "how-to's" on our YouTube channel.

New service

Astute Graphics is working towards launching a brand-new service, related to — but in addition to — the current Illustrator plugins SaaS. Focusing on the management of resources and data, it will enable teams and professionals to improve their team workflow. Anticipated news, Q2 2025.
