The Idea
Traditional Ukrainian embroidery is an ancient craft with rich cultural significance, but it’s losing its distinctiveness in modern fashion. VyshyvAI aims to revive this tradition by offering an AI-based online service that allows users to create personalized embroidered shirts. Our platform enables users to encode anything from personal stories to cultural motifs into their designs, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
The Problem
The art of Ukrainian embroidery is time-consuming and requires skilled artisans. As the number of these artisans declines, it becomes harder to preserve this cultural heritage in a way that resonates with modern, global audiences. The lack of personalization and innovation further limits its appeal.
Our Solution
VyshyvAI provides an AI-powered online service where anyone can design their own personalized embroidered shirts. By using advanced AI algorithms, we can generate patterns that incorporate personal stories, family history, or even modern trends, making embroidery accessible, customizable, and relevant.
