Not a chat wrapper. A patch design engine.
Three things separate us from a generic AI: production guidance baked into the model, a configurator that handles the technical decisions, and a direct line to manufacturing.
A pretty picture, then what?
Raw model output. No knowledge of thread density, real palettes, or stitch geometry. You email a vendor a screenshot and start over translating it into manufacturing.
A design that's manufacturable on day one.
Production constraints baked into every prompt. Configurator choices tune the output to the chosen material. Quote, review, and shipment in one flow.
Production guidance baked into the model
We don't ship raw Gemini output. The system prompt is crafted with manufacturing constraints so the design lands production-ready, not just visually appealing.
- Thread-density limits for embroidered patches so designs don't request impossibly fine details.
- Color palette restrictions — real thread colors, not arbitrary RGB.
- Stitch-direction logic for shapes that read cleanly when sewn.
- Edge handling and border thickness rules that keep the patch durable.
- Backing-compatible content rules that match iron-on, velcro, or sew-on choices.
- Output is design-ready for manufacturing, not just a render.
The configurator handles the technical decisions
Generic AI chats make you describe everything in words — and skip the technical decisions altogether. The configurator surfaces the choices that matter and feeds each one back into the prompt.
- Patch type: embroidered, PVC, iron-on, velcro, woven, chenille — each tunes the prompt.
- Size, shape, quantity: set up front so the design respects the canvas.
- Backing & finish: hot-cut vs. merrowed border, sew-on vs. velcro, glow-in-the-dark thread.
- Material reality: each choice tunes the AI's prompt context.
- Brand auto-detection: type "YMCA" or "Boy Scouts" and we include the official mark, current year, and approved colors.
- Live preview: revisions show immediately, no round-tripping with a vendor.
Direct line to production
The design isn't an end product — it's the first step. Skip the screenshot-and-email-a-vendor stage entirely.
Design → review by our human team → vetted manufacturers → patches shipped. The quote your vendor receives includes the design image, sampled colors (hex + thread names), and the full conversation history so the manufacturer sees how the design evolved — not just the final pixels.
See it before you commit
Real product mockups with proportional patch overlay so the patch size on the product matches what you'd actually receive.
- Real garments: jacket, big bag, t-shirt back, hat, small bag.
- Proportional sizing: a 3" patch reads as 3", not full-frame.
- Pick the right size first: avoid the "it arrived too small" surprise.
- Surface-aware: jacket, big bag, and back-shirt only show when the patch is large enough.
