Frequently asked questions

Do I need a specific animation library?

No. The principles are tool-independent; the agent applies them to your CSS, JavaScript or editing software.

Are the values mandatory?

They are starting points. Ask the agent to adapt them to your brand, for example a slower pace for a calm tone.
