AI agent for fashion designers
Trend Research Board Agent
A trend board grounded in several sources and the brand's customer
What it does
Trend research for a new season scatters across runway sites, social feeds and sales reports, and it is hard to tell a real trend from noise. This agent collects runway reports, street style, retail new arrivals, search trends and the brand's own sales data. It groups the signals into themes such as colors, silhouettes, fabrics and details, and counts how many source types support each one. It then compares every theme with the brand's sales history and customer profile to judge fit. A theme with weak support or poor fit is dropped or marked as a watch item instead of making the board. It drafts a trend board with images and short data notes for each theme. The designer chooses which themes to develop. Edge case: a theme strong in one market but absent in the brand's main market is labeled regional.
How it works
