Overview
MiniMax makes AI models and an AI agent, with apps on iOS and Android. Its public site is monochrome and led by a large dark hero. Controls on the hero are translucent white rather than solid. [Measured]
What defines the look:
- Glass controls. White at 9, 15 and 24 percent with a 32 percent border sit over the hero. [Measured]
- A big tight title. Outfit at 108 with tracking of -4.32 on desktop and 60 on mobile. [Measured]
- Pills for navigation. Nav items and login use a 100 radius. [Measured]
- Monochrome chrome.
#171717, white and#f5f5f5carry the interface. [Measured] - Two open faces. Outfit for headlines and DM Sans for reading. [Measured]
Source for this file: the minimax.io home and news pages, measured in a browser at 1440 and 390 wide on 2026-11-01 with a dark color scheme pass. The agent itself sits behind an account. No app captures were used. See Known Gaps.

- Keep the interface monochrome.
- Set the hero large and tracked tight.
- Use pills for navigation.
Don't
- Don't add a brand hue to the chrome.

Known Gaps
- The agent product was not measured, so this file describes the public site.
- The iOS and Android apps were not captured, so every mobile topic is inferred.
- Store listings differ by platform. The App Store listing found is MiniMax Code, and the Google Play listing is MiniMax - Your AI Agent. Which product a mobile screen shows was not checked.
- No tokens are published. Spacing is limited to measured padding.
- Icons, motion, dialogs and the role of Libre Baskerville were not measured.
- Fonts here are open, so no alternative is needed.
- Account deletion and store sign-in rules were not verified.
