The Process
From a sentence or a sketch to a factory-ready tech pack in about ten minutes — three movements, one document.
Three movements
Chat
01“Linen corset mini dress, spaghetti straps, flared skirt.”
Describe
Upload a reference photo, a hand sketch, or just type what you have in mind. Syl — the in-product design assistant — asks the follow-ups a pattern-maker would: silhouette, fabric weight, closures, construction. No forms, no jargon, no spreadsheets.
Minute 1–2
Preview
02Flat sketch · measurement callouts · spec table — one live view
Refine
Sylai renders a flat technical sketch from your description and places measurement callouts on top. Revise by chatting — “shorten the skirt by two inches”, “switch the zipper to a side seam”. The sketch, callouts, and measurement table update together so they never drift out of sync.
Minute 3–7
Export
03PDF · BOM · measurements · construction notes
Export
Export a tech pack in the format factories already read: technical drawings, bill of materials, measurement table, construction notes. Share a link for revisions, or download the PDF and email it. Everything you refined stays in one document.
Minute 8–10
Common questions
A sketch, a reference photo, a mood-board image, or a plain-English description — any or all of the above. Syl asks follow-up questions to fill in the gaps, so you don’t need to get everything right on the first message.
Yes. You can keep chatting with Syl to adjust measurements, swap fabrics, change construction details, or restyle the silhouette. The sketch, callouts, and spec table update together — you never have to reconcile them by hand.
Sylai is designed for cut-and-sew apparel — tops, dresses, bottoms, outerwear, and related garments. It’s not tuned for knitwear, footwear, accessories, or heavily tailored suiting today. If the first pass looks wrong for your category, tell Syl what’s off and it will adjust.
Measurements are a starting point, not a guarantee. Sylai proposes a first set of specs from your description; you review and adjust them before exporting. For production, you should fit a sample and iterate — same as any other tech-pack workflow. Sylai is there to get you to that first sample faster, not to replace fit reviews.
Make the change in the same conversation — “raise the neckline a half inch”, “switch to a 14-inch zipper” — and re-export. The updated tech pack keeps the same document structure your factory already knows, so they aren’t re-learning a new format every round.
Your tech packs, sketches, and chats are private to your account. We don’t publish, resell, or expose your work to other users. See the Privacy page for the full data-handling policy.
