In recent years, amidst the launch of various generative AI services, Maison AI, developed by
OpenFashion, stands out as an AI tool tailored for the fashion industry.
The beta version of this service was released in August 2023, providing a support tool for fashion companies that incorporates both text and image generative AI.
In addition, it includes an 'AI agent feature' where AI is tailored to professions such as 'fashion designers' and 'pattern designers', allowing for more accurate responses to specialized questions within these fields.
Currently, the number of workspaces (a space that users can freely create within Maison AI to share information among companies or teams) has exceeded 1,300. The tool is being adopted with the aim of improving work efficiency, generating new ideas, and creating new businesses.
We asked Toru Ueda, the CEO of the company, about the background behind Maison AI's development, its utilization, current challenges, and future plans.
