What is AI Product CMF Board?

Extract discussable color, material, and surface-treatment directions from product form for concept reviews and client presentations.

The model infers material appearance from visible reflections, texture, and color; it cannot confirm material grade, thickness, process parameters, supplier, or cost. This tool communicates CMF visual direction only; it does not produce a BOM, purchasing list, engineering material specification, or production approval sample.

What the AI reads

What AI Product CMF Board can interpret—and where judgment is still needed

The model infers material appearance from visible reflections, texture, and color; it cannot confirm material grade, thickness, process parameters, supplier, or cost.

Useful evidence in the input

  • one product image with clear form and surface detail
  • Use a complete product view under neutral light without strong filters, and define the CMF direction you want to discuss.
  • Extract discussable color, material, and surface-treatment directions from product form for concept reviews and client presentations.
  • Upload one product image, then choose a CMF board style and a 16:9–9:16 image ratio.

Important limitations

  • The model infers material appearance from visible reflections, texture, and color; it cannot confirm material grade, thickness, process parameters, supplier, or cost.
  • This tool communicates CMF visual direction only; it does not produce a BOM, purchasing list, engineering material specification, or production approval sample.
  • This is the official production-skill cover, not the actual source used to create the demonstrated output.
  • This frame comes from the official demonstration and shows the product experience; it is not presented as an output generated from the cover.
