StyleAI is a software company that provides an AI-powered design assistant for fashion brands, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. The company's platform was inspired by the founder's observation of his fashion designer wife's time-consuming workflow, which involved extensive market research, trend analysis, and repetitive sketching. StyleAI aims to automate these routine tasks, allowing designers to concentrate on the creative aspects of their work.

The platform offers a suite of tools that includes market intelligence, design creation, and brand-specific customization. Its AI can analyze market trends, generate reference images, and create multiple design variations from a single concept. A key feature is the "Brand Training" capability, where the AI learns a brand's specific DNA from uploaded images to ensure that all generated designs remain consistent with the brand's unique aesthetic. The system can transform reference images or sketches into detailed design prompts, specifying fabrics, construction details, and measurements, and can also generate realistic mockups and 360-degree videos.

StyleAI operates on a SaaS business model with tiered subscription plans for individual designers, brands, and enterprises. The 'Designer' plan is for solo creators, while the 'Brand' plan adds team collaboration and brand training features. The 'Enterprise' plan offers unlimited brand workspaces and tailored support. The company secured $377K in a Seed funding round in May 2023, with investors including Hanyang University Technology Holdings and the Tech Incubator Program for Startup.
