WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architects and specifiers spend 5-10 hours per week manually searching fragmented supplier catalogs and websites to find architectural materials. Suppliers lack unified product information management systems and struggle to reach designers, resulting in inefficient material discovery and lost sales opportunities.

The Solution

Stylib provides a centralized architectural materials database with AI-powered image search and semantic search, allowing designers to upload inspiration photos to find relevant products. For suppliers, Stylib offers Hub (product data management), SearchTech (AI search widgets), and Showcase (digital mini-sites) to digitize catalogs and reach architects.
