Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Trend Scanner work?
The Trend Scanner analyzes fashion e-commerce websites to identify trending styles. It scrapes product data including images, prices, reviews, and sales counts, then calculates a trend score based on these metrics. In demo mode, it uses sample fashion data.
What is the Design Generator?
The Design Generator uses AI to create variations of fashion pieces. You select a source image and style parameters, and it generates new design variations. In demo mode, placeholder images are shown. With a Replicate API key, it uses Stable Diffusion for actual generation.
How does the Sketch Converter work?
The Sketch Converter transforms fashion photos into sketch-style illustrations. It currently uses image processing techniques like edge detection. With ControlNet integration, it can produce higher quality fashion sketches.
What is Demo Mode?
Demo Mode runs without API keys, using sample data and placeholder images. It's perfect for exploring the UI and understanding the workflow. To enable real AI features, add a Replicate API token.
How do I enable real AI generation?
Get a Replicate API token from replicate.com, then set it as REPLICATE_API_TOKEN in the backend .env file. The app will automatically switch to production mode.
