AI design scout

DesignBoard

Scouts the live web for emerging lab-grown jewelry designs, scores each one on evidence, and turns the best into manufacturing blueprints.

Role: Sole builder. Discovery, scoring, agent pipeline, validation, and interface.

How it works, end to end. The screens inside are real captures; every command and stage is the project's own.

The problem

A jewelry team needs to know which designs are rising before everyone makes them, and a factory needs specifics, not mood images. Trend boards give neither: no evidence behind the pick, and no measurements to build from.

What I did

Built the live scout, the evidence scoring, and a four-phase agent job that writes a factory brief, plus the code that audits it.

How it works

Discovery reads retailer and marketplace pages and keeps only diamond-led, non-basic designs with early momentum and low observed saturation, filtered for everyday wear, light gold and practical CVD manufacturing. Each card can then run a resumable agent job (observing, drafting, reviewing, validating) whose output must fit a 13 KB JSON schema and pass a deterministic audit that refuses measurements the photo cannot support.

The hard parts

01
Keeping a model honest about measurements: anything the photo cannot show is downgraded to a stated assumption, never printed as a fact.
02
Long agent jobs that survive restarts: atomic state files, resumable phases, and tracked child processes that are stopped cleanly when interrupted.
03
Separating inspiration from copying: every card must state an original lab-grown adaptation, and natural-diamond sources stay labelled as reference only.

What changed

38 emerging candidates on the current board, each with evidence links and a score.
11 finished manufacturing blueprints from real runs, each printable as a factory brief.
