Your Personal Robot Assistant but for Clay Work

Have you ever dreamed or thought "it would be nice to have some robots doing the hard part of the work for me"? I always dreamed of having a robot like in The Jetsons that would clean and cook for me so I could do arts and crafts all day. This may not be so far-fetched now. Well, not the cooking and cleaning, but having robots or machines doing some of the hard work for you.

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is a technology that allows computers and machines to mimic human intelligence and perform tasks that usually require human-like decision-making, problem-solving, and learning. In simple language, AI is like having a really smart computer helper that can do things that were previously only possible for humans to do. So, there may not be a robot that conditions polymer clay or makes each rose bud for you yet, but you can already outsource some of your work to AI.

With the help of AI-powered design tools, artists can quickly generate a wide variety of ideas for their next collection, saving them time and hassle. And let's not forget about AI product photography, helping artists to showcase their work in a beautiful and professional way, without spending a fortune on photoshoots. For example, Pebblely is a tool that allows you to make beautiful product pictures without hiring a photographer. you upload a simple plain picture of your product and Pebblely turns it into a stunning image ready to be used on your online store, social media, or ads.

Another great way to benefit from AI is during the ideation process. Creating new designs takes time and collecting references can take even longer. What we are doing here at Clay Repository is creating and sharing design references so you can skip the research part of the process and go straight to creating your amazing designs.

We generate new design ideas every day using AI and share them on our Instagram account and here in the newsletter. You can see it for free by following our Instagram account or by signing up for free to receive the newsletter every week.
