AIT AI Tools vs Mercer

AIT AI Tools is a web platform for textile designers creating seamless patterns and preparing designs for production. Pattern tools cover text-to-pattern and reference-based creation, style transfer, extraction, expansion, inpainting, and editing. Production preparation includes repeat repair, upscaling, color separation, vectorization, background removal, and colorway development. Users can preview designs on 2D and 3D wear designs, product mockups, and AI-generated scenes. Archivist indexes an existing pattern archive for natural-language, code, tag, and visual-similarity search without requiring folder reorganization. Permissions can be set by user and collection, and collection access can be revoked. AIT says generated designs remain private to the account and are not used to train its models; it also says its models are developed in-house and user data is hosted on its own local servers. Free accounts receive 20 credits per day and have one to two uses per tool in a rolling four-hour window. Individual costs $39 a month. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
