Image-generation AI and survey analysis at Sega Fave's toy business
Sega Fave's toy unit said its image-generation AI raised design proposals about 100-fold
Problem
The toy business needed more design ideas for product planning. It also had tens of thousands of customer survey responses, including free-text comments, to analyze.
Approach
Sega Sammy Holdings said on 7 May 2024 that Sega Fave's Toys Company had deployed a generative AI environment. An image-generation AI trained on its own product images produced design drafts close to existing products, and designers refined them. A second AI analyzed the survey responses. The environment runs on Platform Equinix.
Results
Takeaway
Training the image model on the company's own product images kept drafts close to existing products, and designers still did the final refinement.
