Why it works: Visually introduces the specific garment that will be costed, directly correlating the on-screen text with the visual subject and making the problem tangible.

Man in a brown sweater and glasses, holding a small fluffy microphone. He holds up a piece of paper with a black and white dress sketch in his left hand, partially covering a laptop.

Why it works: Emphasizes the limited and often disorganized inputs available in traditional apparel costing, setting up the problem that the AI solution aims to streamline.

Man in a brown sweater and glasses, holding a small fluffy microphone. He holds up a laptop screen displaying a detailed PDF document with a 'Bill of Materials' table.

Why it works: Provides visual evidence of the 'dense PDF' and the complexity of manual material listing, further highlighting the manual inefficiencies the product addresses.

Man in a brown knitted sweater and glasses, holding a small fluffy microphone, looking directly at the camera and pointing upwards with his right index finger.

Why it works: Serves as a verbal and visual cue to introduce the AI solution, directly stating its key benefit (cost optimization) and preparing the viewer for the demonstration.

A screen recording shows a 'Product Costing Analysis' dashboard with current and target FOB prices, and total savings. A mouse cursor clicks on the 'Target FOB' box. Images of a floral dress and key features are also visible.

Why it works: Immediately quantifies the AI's value by showing a clear reduction in cost, establishing the product's effectiveness and setting a positive, results-driven tone.

A screen recording displays the 'Product Costing Analysis' dashboard, scrolling down to reveal 'Visual Optimization Reference'. This section shows split images of the floral dress with detailed annotations pointing to specific areas and explaining cost-saving strategies.

Why it works: Provides tangible, visual evidence of the AI's recommendations, showing exactly how and where costs can be reduced without compromising quality, thereby building confidence and understanding.

A screen recording shows an e-commerce website ('maggy.london.com') with a grid of various dresses. A mouse cursor scrolls down the page, hovering over 'Quick View' buttons on different dress styles.

Why it works: Demonstrates a real-world client success story, adding credibility and showing the application of the technology on a large scale (automating for 3,000 styles a year).

Man in a brown knitted sweater and glasses, holding a small fluffy microphone. He gestures with his hands while speaking, explaining the simplicity of the upload process.

Why it works: Reinforces the ease of use and integration, making the complex process seem simple and accessible for potential users by focusing on a single, straightforward action.

A screen recording displays a PDF document titled 'Example tech pack' open on a laptop. The mouse cursor scrolls down the document to reveal a table under 'Bill of Materials'.

Why it works: Visually confirms the input for the AI, showing the detailed 'tech pack' that Airtable will analyze, bridging the gap between the manual document and the automated process.

Man in a brown knitted sweater and glasses, holding a small fluffy microphone. A dark rectangular overlay with white text 'Cost optimization agent' and 'Agent is analyzing files...' appears in the foreground.

Why it works: Uses a dynamic graphic overlay to represent the AI actively processing the data, creating a sense of advanced technology at work and emphasizing the speed of analysis.

A screen recording displays a 'Costing' tab within a digital interface, detailing a 'Cost estimate agent' analysis. The screen shows a breakdown of materials, cut & make, factory overhead, and other cost components.

Why it works: Provides detailed transparency into the AI's costing methodology, showing how it leverages data and breaks down costs, which builds trust and validates its analytical capabilities.

Man in a brown knitted sweater and glasses, holding a small fluffy microphone, looking directly at the camera and gesturing with his hands. A partial view of the 'Product Costing Analysis' dashboard is superimposed above him.

Why it works: Reiterates the AI's function as a problem-solver, showing its ability to generate solutions when costs exceed targets, reinforcing its value as an optimization tool.

Man in a brown knitted sweater and glasses, holding a small fluffy microphone. A 'Visual Optimization Reference' showing split images of a floral dress with detailed annotations is superimposed above him.

Why it works: Highlights the visual clarity and detail of the AI's recommendations, allowing users to easily understand the suggested changes and fostering confidence in the proposed optimizations.
