About Uwear

The engineers behind AI visual production for fashion

Uwear is an AI visual production engine that turns existing product photos into studio-quality photos and videos for fashion brands, retailers, and marketplaces.

Uwear in 36 seconds: one product photo in, studio-quality photos out, in your saved art direction. Automations shoot every new product, and your team works from an AI assistant, the API, or Studio.

Uwear’s mission

Uwear’s mission is to be the platform where fashion creatives build their most distinctive work and scale it, from a few SKUs a year to hundreds of thousands. To get there, Uwear builds the AI system where agents take on the manual, repetitive work of production, and people keep the creative part.

Express your creative direction

Save your art direction from your own samples, and choose from a catalog of leading AI image and video models for each shot.

Scale it to any volume

Batch runs, Production Automation, and cloud infrastructure take the same direction from a few SKUs a year to hundreds of thousands.

Run it with simple credit pricing and AI QA

Pricing is simple: $0.10 per credit, with no subscription. When QA is on, an AI reviewer checks each result for AI errors and retries the wrong ones.

What Uwear does

Uwear makes fashion photos and videos from the product photos you already have. Your team runs it from an AI assistant, the API, or Studio.

  • Photos and videos from product photos

    Upload pack shots, ghost-mannequin photos, or supplier photos. Uwear sends each shot to Drape, its own model family, or to a leading image or video model.

    See the models and credit rates
  • Photoshoots run by your AI assistant

    Connect the Uwear MCP server to ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex. The assistant plans the looks, shows the credit cost in a brief, and runs the shoot after you approve it.

    Connect the MCP server
  • A visual production API

    Build photo and video production into your own systems. Jobs run in the background and report back by polling or by webhook.

    Read about the API
  • Production Automation

    Publish a workflow once. New products, tags, or outfits then start their own shoots, edits, videos, and quality checks.

    See Production Automation
  • Saved art direction

    Save a look from your own samples, with its light, framing, models, and set. Every shoot then uses it, across collections and teams.

  • Automatic QA and retries

    Turn on the AI reviewer, and it compares each result with your product photos. It rejects a wrong shot, attaches the reason, and retries it.

  • Studio, the team workspace

    Review, search, reuse, and export every result with your team. All seats share one credit pool and one invoice.

What makes Uwear different

Six choices shape how Uwear works.

  • Built by engineers and data scientists

    Three engineers and data scientists started Uwear in Montreal in March 2023 and trained Drape, their own model for clothing. That work taught the team where general models fail on clothing, and the engine’s art direction and QA are built around those failures.

  • Built for volume

    Batch runs and Production Automation start shoots as new products arrive, so production keeps pace with the collection. Teams have made more than 1.5M visuals from more than 420K uploaded products on Uwear.

  • AI agents do each job of the shoot

    One agent writes the brief, one applies your art direction, one styles the outfits, one generates each shot, and one checks the result. Through the Uwear MCP server, ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex can run the whole line.

  • Your team operates the engine

    Your team runs each shoot and keeps its art direction, models, and results in its own account. Uwear gives implementation support, and enterprise teams start with a sample report on their own garments.

  • Automatic QA that your team can turn off

    Turn on the AI reviewer, and it checks each result against the product photos, rejects wrong shots with a reason, and retries them. Your team decides where people look.

  • Named models and public prices

    Uwear lists every model it runs, with its credit rate, on a public page. A credit costs $0.10, with no subscription and no seat fees.

The Uwear team in Montreal

The team behind Uwear

Uwear started in Montreal in March 2023. When Stable Diffusion 1.4 came out in August 2022, the founders saw that AI would change every industry that depends on visuals. They also knew that fashion needed production tools, not demos.

The team trained Drape, its own model for clothing. More than 10,000 people used the private beta before the public launch in September 2024. Uwear took part in NextAI and CDL-Montreal, two startup programs at HEC Montréal.

Today Uwear is a team of engineers and data scientists who have worked in fashion and in tech, in business and technical roles.

How Uwear works

Most teams start from an AI assistant. The API runs pure automation, and Studio is the manual path.

  1. Connect Uwear to your tools

    Add the Uwear MCP server, api.uwear.ai/mcp, to ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex, and sign in with your Uwear account. Developers call the REST API, and creative teams can also work in Studio.

  2. Approve a costed brief

    The assistant proposes the looks, the models, and the credit cost. Nothing runs until you approve the brief.

  3. Let the AI agents produce the shoot

    Agents apply your art direction, style the outfits, and generate each photo and video. When QA is on, the AI reviewer checks each result and retries the wrong ones.

  4. Get the results where you work

    Results go to your Uwear library, and to your own systems by API webhook. An assistant that is also connected to your store, such as Shopify, can add them to your product pages.

  5. Start an enterprise rollout with a sample report

    Enterprise work starts with a sample report: a production batch on your own garments, scored against your QA criteria. The Uwear team then gives implementation support, volume pricing, and invoice billing.

Run it from your assistant

Run this photoshoot from your AI assistant with a Uwear template.

Connect the Uwear MCP server to ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex and ask for the Product page set template. It is a batch workflow that runs once per garment: front, upper-body, and back product-page shots on a white studio background, plus a 360-degree video, from one garment photo. Any Uwear account can load it by name, and the assistant shows a costed brief in credits before generation starts.

Copy this prompt into your assistant

Connect to the Uwear MCP server and load the "Product page set" template. Run it on my product photos, turn the AI reviewer on, and show me the costed brief before generating.
