Craft Companion-AI Crafting Advisor

Example

For creating a custom quilt, Craft Companion will suggest various fabric types (e.g., cotton, satin, flannel), patterns (e.g., log cabin, pinwheel), and stitching methods based on the user's aesthetic choice and quilting experience.

Scenario

A user wants to make a personalized baby quilt. The assistant would offer step-by-step guidance on selecting baby-safe materials, simplifying complex patterns for beginners, and employing techniques that enhance durability.

Example

When a user decides to engage in pottery, the tool might recommend earthenware clay for beginners due to its forgiving nature in the firing process and suggest starting projects like simple pots or plates to practice fundamental hand-building techniques.

Scenario

The user is interested in experimenting with ceramic vases. Craft Companion helps in choosing the right type of clay and glazes considering the user’s firing capabilities, whether they have access to a kiln, and their design preferences.

Example

For a woodworker looking to create dovetail joints, the tool provides a selection of suitable woods, recommends the best tools for cutting precise joints, and offers videos or tutorials for mastering this advanced technique.

Scenario

An intermediate crafter struggles with dovetail joints in making a jewelry box. Craft Companion would break down the technique into manageable steps, recommend practice exercises, and adjust the complexity based on the user's progress.

Example

If a crafter is facing issues with bead embroidery not holding on fabric, Craft Companion might suggest switching to a stiffer fabric, using different types of needles, or modifying the embroidery pattern to use fewer beads per inch to reduce weight.

Scenario

A user's bead embroidery keeps bunching up on silk fabric. The tool would diagnose the problem (e.g., fabric choice, thread tension) and provide solutions like recommending a switch to a more stable fabric such as cotton.
