Design finder

One sentence in. A grid of designs out.

Shop Pilot's design finder, Curate, finds designs for print-on-demand from one sentence. Describe a theme, or type up to 10 searches of your own. Shop Pilot checks hundreds of results and keeps the designs that match.

Ask for what is trending or in the news, and it looks it up first, then writes the searches. Tell it what you are making, phone cases, posters in common print sizes or any other graphic, and it looks for designs that fit.

Designs with a visible watermark or @handle are left out for you. The rest go into collections that learn from the designs you pick, so the next results come closer to your taste.
