How it works
AI mood boards built from the venue’s real visual library.
- 01
Describe the vibe
Three suggest chips or a free-text prompt — anything from “late-summer rooftop, golden hour, peonies and brass” to “industrial-chic gala under brass.” The clearer the brief, the sharper the board.
- 02
We score nine visuals
The engine pulls from a curated library of Loft-tone visuals + real past events, then either an LLM (when configured) or a deterministic scoring fallback ranks the top nine by vibe-fit. Same room, same brass, same warmth — every time.
- 03
Save, share, hand to a vendor
Drop your email and we send back a 3×3 board you can forward to a florist, a planner, or your partner. Boards stay editable on later visits — refresh the prompt and the engine reranks.
For the events team: the visual library is editorialised, not scraped. Each image carries tags (palette, energy, season, density) so the engine never returns something off-brand. Internal note at docs/MOODBOARD-EXPLAINER.md explains how to add or steer tiles.
