Executive Summary & Strategic Overview
We built an AI packaging studio for Philippine food and cosmetic makers. It helps small businesses create FDA-ready packaging without hiring expensive graphic designers.
Verified Performance Metrics & Business Impact
Regional Valuation
$150,000 USD preliminary commercial value unlocked and pitched across Western Visayas MSMEs.
DOST Startup Awards
Category winner at the Visayas Startup Awards incubated under DOST Region 6.
FDA & DTI Compliance
Automated regulatory verification against Philippine food and cosmetic labeling rules.
The Engineering Challenge
Philippine MSMEs cannot sell products on grocery shelves without FDA and DTI approval. Small food and cosmetic makers lack packaging design skills. Professional design agencies charge ₱15,000 or more per label. This high cost blocks local makers from launching their products.
The Architectural Solution
Partnered with a packaging engineer to build an automated AI studio. The platform guides makers through brand selection and checks 11 FDA labeling rules. It keeps AI generation costs low. The platform is now preparing to onboard its first enterprise municipal client.
Core Technical & Architectural Highlights
11-Point FDA & DTI Compliance Engine
Checks mandatory product information against Philippine labeling rules before generating print-ready labels.
Multi-Model Generation Pipeline
Connects reasoning models with image generation to produce accurate brand packaging without expensive token waste.
Turborepo Monorepo Architecture
Pairs a high-speed Astro marketing site with an interactive Next.js studio under Supabase authentication.
Agentic AI Pair Programming & Antigravity Acceleration
Refined the founder's initial prototype into a production architecture. Used a Plan-Act-Verify workflow with AI to build token telemetry and prompt pipelines.
