Project description

Our client, a leading European retail group, set out to transform large-scale product imagery creation by developing the first AI-powered visual integration solution.

Timeline

Over 7 weeks, a cross-functional team (data, design, dev) led a full test & build phase.

Background

Adeo, a major European home decor retailer, needed to scale immersive visual content production. Traditional content pipelines (photo shoots, 3D modeling) were too expensive and rigid. The goal was to find a faster, cheaper, and more flexible generative AI solution, while maintaining brand consistency and contractual accuracy.
