Introducing DeepShape: Conversational AI for Design That Goes Beyond Prompts
After 6 months of development, we're excited to share our first prototype with the Indie Hackers community - deepshape.tech
The Problem We Set Out to Solve: Current AI design tools follow a basic pattern: "Describe your logo" → receive generic output. This approach misses how effective design actually happens - through strategic conversations that uncover business goals, target audiences, and brand personality. Small business owners and marketing teams are stuck with two option 1) Either stick to hit or miss freelance designers charging ($20-$40)/ project. 2) Learn complex graphic designing tools or become a prompt engineer
Our Solution: DeepShape eliminates the gap between expensive freelance designers and complex AI tools requiring prompt engineering. Our conversational AI conducts professional design consultations through natural dialogue, generating complete brand packages in minutes. Unlike existing generators needing technical prompts, we ask strategic business questions and translate responses into optimized design specs. Targeting 40+ million small businesses globally who need professional design but lack budget for premium services or technical skills for current AI tools.
The system builds comprehensive context before generating any visual concepts.
Technical Foundation:
Phi 3 4K instruct architecture
Custom training dataset focused on design principles and brand strategy
Initial focus on logo design for validated learning
Our Vision: We believe AI should enhance design thinking, not shortcut it. Our goal is creating tools that help users develop clearer brand vision and design literacy.
Current Approach: The prototype is completely free during this validation phase. We want to understand actual usage patterns for conversational design AI versus traditional generation tools.
We're Interested in Community Input On:
Technical approaches to long-context creative AI applications
Product validation strategies for AI tool development
Experiences with conversational interface design
Roadmap: Expanding from logos to complete brand identity systems, then additional design verticals based on user feedback.

We value this community's expertise and would appreciate any feedback or insights you can share.
focuses on real conversations instead of cookie-cutter prompts....love it
Love it. Are you targeting product teams or solo designers first?
Small Business Owners and design teams, then gradual expansion
Love what you're doing with DeepShape! We're working on a similar idea at Accio AI - an AI assistant that helps small business owners with purchasing through natural conversations. After 8 months, we're seeing lots of the same types of users (busy owners who need help but don't have time to learn complicated tools).
Your conversation-first approach really resonates - we've found chatting through needs works much better than forms or menus. Would be great to compare notes on what's working well with our users. Always good to connect with others building helpful tools for small businesses!
Glad to connect with likeminded folks

This is awesome! I really like how you focus on an actual conversation instead of just prompts. Curious how long the intake usually takes before you show the first design—do people prefer a quick result or a full consult first? Excited to try it out!
First impressions are quite good. Would be exploring more. Congrats for setting it on roll!!!

Impressive work! The idea of leveraging conversational AI to streamline professional design consultations is truly innovative. Automating the process of generating complete brand packages in minutes could be a real game changer for startups and small businesses. Looking forward to seeing how DeepShape evolves and what features you plan to introduce next!
Thanks for your feedback !! Will be soon sharing the next updates
This is really impressive. Love the concept of using AI to convert photos into 3D avatars. Curious about how you’re handling customization for different use cases like gaming vs. virtual meetings. Keep it up!
A conversational AI for design, DeepShape understands more than just prompts. At deepshape.tech, we are proud to launch our first prototype after six months of development.
WOW. That sounds cool, I will definitely be trying that out. I have always struggled with AI image generation in the past.
Love the approach! Moving beyond static prompts to actual strategic conversations is a game changer. DeepShape feels more like collaborating with a designer than using a tool — super promising!
That's the goal. An AI assistant that becomes your creative partner
Absolutely love the idea behind DeepShape! The concept of an AI assistant providing professional design consultations and generating full brand packages in minutes is incredibly useful. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves and helps streamline the design process for businesses and creators. Great job!
