Can AI Create a Production-Ready Tech Pack? I Tested 5 Tools

Can AI really create a production-ready fashion tech pack, and more importantly, can you trust the information it generates? In this video, I put a selection of AI tech pack tools to the test from the perspective of a technical designer and product developer. I tested SpecForm OS, AI Tech Packs, Kōbō, The F Word and ChatGPT*, looking beyond how polished the finished documents appeared and checking the technical information they actually generated. Across the different tests, I looked at areas including: • Technical flats and garment interpretation • Points of Measure and measurements • Grading and size information • Bills of Materials (BOM) • Construction details and stitch information • Fabrics, trims and colour information • How each platform handles missing or unconfirmed information Some of the results were genuinely impressive. These tools can already generate a considerable amount of technical documentation very quickly. But I also found incorrect measurements, inaccurate callouts, assumed construction details, generated grading and, in some cases, AI changing information that had already been confirmed. And that raises a much bigger issue for fashion product development: false confidence. A tech pack can look professional and production-ready while still containing information that hasn't actually been confirmed. In this video, I'll show you what each platform produced, where I think AI can genuinely support the tech pack process, and where technical knowledge and human review are still essential. Tools tested: SpecForm OS AI Tech Packs Kōbō The F* Word ChatGPT This is the first video in a wider look at AI and fashion product development. I'll also be creating individual videos exploring each of these platforms in more detail, including the workflow, inputs, outputs and limitations I found during testing. If you work in fashion design, garment technology, technical design or product development, I'd be interested to know whether you are already using AI within your tech pack workflow and where you feel it is genuinely saving time.
