The register

Flint is built on a conviction: artificial intelligence belongs at the core of creative work — but the judgment stays with you. Most AI design tools are prompt in, picture out. A sentence goes in, a single image comes back, the tool forgets you by morning. Flint is something else — a canvas you can build on, where your references, your sketches, and your half-formed intuitions live on the same surface. The agent proposes. You decide.

Made for creative practice — starting with apparel
01 · The canvas

Your moodboard, made thinkable.

Drop in tearsheets, photographs, swatches, sketches. Arrange them spatially — however you already think. Tag anything as a reference and Flint picks up the context you've built. Start a Spark from anywhere on the canvas; the work you've already done does the talking.

Canvas wireframes overlaid on a working designer's moodboard. Your references become tags; your tags become part of the prompt; Flint reads the canvas you've already made.

02 · The SVG editor

A vector surface that sketches back.

Work the way you've always worked — drawing, layers, shapes, colours. Flint sits alongside as a second pair of hands: offering variations, cleaning up a curve, filling a palette, annotating a technical flat. Every change is a checkpoint. Nothing is ever lost.

We believe AI should nurture human creativity, not replace it. Flint keeps the designer's judgment in every frame.

— Brand principle
Who Flint is for

For creatives in committed practice.

The first sparks go out to apparel designers. But the canvas is for anyone whose work is thought-and-material — whose references live on pinboards, whose ideas live on paper before they live on screens.

01
The working apparel designer, mid-season.

Freelancing or in-house, moodboarding for the next collection. Tired of five tools for what feels like one job. Curious about AI. Protective of her voice.

02
The student, three weeks into a final brief.

At CSM, Parsons, LCF, RCA or anywhere a studio has good light. On Procreate daily. Free to try things. Needs a tool that treats her as already professional.

03
The lead designer, looking to bring her team along.

At a brand with a real library, a real process, real concerns about confidentiality. Needs a tool she can recommend to a creative director without explaining it.

04
The adjacent creative — textile, illustration, furniture, graphic.

Reads "apparel-first" and hears "soon." You're welcome here already. The canvas doesn't know what discipline you practise, and Flint reads whatever you bring.

How it works

Capture, Spark, refine.

Step 01 · Capture
References and sketches arranged on a work surface

Build your reference world.

Pin anything — runway photos, fabric swatches, your own sketches, screenshots from films, pressed leaves. The canvas is local, private, and yours. Organise however you think.

Step 02 · Spark
Hands sketching an abstract form on paper

Work with Flint.

Drop a Spark anywhere on the canvas, or beside a sketch you're working on. Describe what you want. Flint reads the references and notes you've already pinned, proposes a direction — and waits for you to say yes.

Step 03 · Refine

Own the final stroke.

Every generation is a checkpoint you can return to. Approve, try again, keep two versions side by side. The file on your disk stays yours — open format, no lock-in. Flint leaves when you close the studio.

Your files, forever.

Every project is a folder. Every canvas is a standard file any tool can read. Every sketch stays a readable drawing. Open them in ten years, in another app, on another machine — they'll still make sense. Nothing is trapped.

Four principles

What we've decided — so we don't redecide.

Principle 01

The tool recedes.

Your work is the content. The app is almost colourless by design — the ember accent exists so it can be rare, a single point of heat in a cool field.

Principle 02

Your files, on your disk.

Every project is a folder you can see, move, back up, send to a friend. No cloud lock-in. No proprietary format. No permission slip to open your own work. Zip it and share it like anything else.

Principle 03

Generous by default.

The free version is the whole product, not a trial. Paid plans add convenience and professional features — style tuning, team sharing, priority generation — never to gate the core. If you're making a living with Flint, we're glad you are.

Principle 04

No paywall on sharing.

Publishing a canvas is free on every tier. Every shared page carries provenance, not an upsell. Community and distribution matter more than short-term revenue extraction.

Early access

First sparks go out in Spring.
