Arcade leads shopping revolution with world’s first AI product creation agent, helping users design custom jewelry, gifts, and home decor.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Arcade, the world’s first AI physical product creation platform and marketplace that empowers anyone to create, shop, and shape the physical world, is making creation even easier with its new conversational AI agent, Maia. Arcade’s Maia agent is a personal design assistant, enabling anyone to create unique custom jewelry, home decor, and gifts produced by luxury brands and master artisans that Arcade has vetted.
With the holiday shopping season in full swing, Arcade arrives as an answer to one of gifting’s oldest frustrations: finding something truly personal. From a replica of a lost family heirloom to a men’s custom signet ring, from a Christofle silver tray etched with an illustration inspired by travel to a silk scarf that celebrates a memory, customers can now have a conversation with Arcade’s AI agent to create one-of-a-kind pieces that didn’t exist seconds before.
AI Meets Artisan Craftsmanship; Arcade Expands into Luxury Brand Partnerships
Arcade pioneers a new paradigm in how products are designed and made, one where artificial intelligence and human craftsmanship work together. While AI has transformed software, content, and services, Arcade is the first platform to bring agentic AI to the physical world of manufacturing, connecting the creative power of AI with the skilled hands of artisans and makers worldwide.
In addition to small makers around the world, Arcade announces that it has forged partnerships with global luxury brands including French silverware maker Christofle, home decor brand Cabana, premium stoneware maker Anastasio Home, and jewelry brands L&Co and Noemie. Luxury brands have allowed Arcade to train AI models on their proprietary design data, ensuring that AI-generated designs meet the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship while preserving centuries of artisan expertise. Each product ordered through Arcade is made to order by vetted manufacturers and artisans, creating a sustainable model that eliminates overproduction while preserving traditional craft techniques.
“We’re amplifying craftsmanship and bringing taste to AI,” said Mariam Naficy, founder and CEO of Arcade and the ecommerce pioneer who founded and scaled Minted, the design marketplace. “From the beginning, we have planned to be a multi-category marketplace. Our community of brands and artisans are the soul of what we do, and we are deeply honored to have earned their trust. Arcade democratizes access to custom design, but every piece is still made by skilled craftspeople who bring decades of expertise. Arcade enables a conversation to happen between humans using images, expanding access for consumers and business for makers.”
How the AI Agent Works
Arcade represents a shift in how people interact with design and shopping. Customers open Arcade and chat with the design agent about what they’re looking for. The agent asks questions, understands aesthetic preferences, and generates custom designs instantly, all ready to purchase and ship. Someone planning holiday gifts might tell the agent: “I need a statement necklace for my sister who loves vintage jewelry and the color burgundy.” Within moments, the agent presents multiple custom designs: adjustable, refinable, and ready to order. An Arcade human product designer stands ready to assist with final touches if desired.
Tastemaker Collections: Shop and Reimagine
With this launch, Arcade unveils a creative community who have used its AI tools to express their personal vision. Arcade debuts curated storefronts from renowned designers and influencers including famed interior designer Brigette Romanek, chef Flynn McGarry, and style icon Lynn Yaeger. These collections showcase what’s possible when creative visionaries use AI as a design tool, but with Arcade’s signature twist: every piece is a starting point, not an endpoint. Users who love a rug from Romanek’s collection can make it in different colors to match their space.
The site also features designs from interior designer and home decor business leader Kathy Kuo, editor Kate Berry, comedian Dan Rosen, fashion designer Estelle Baily-Babenzien, and tastemakers Karlie Kloss for Kode with Klossy and Christy Turlington Burns for Every Mother Counts.
Broadly Expanded Home Decor Offerings; Agent Helps Design Home Decor
With its agent unveiling, Arcade also unveils its planned expansion into new home decor categories, from window coverings and lampshades to table linens and bedding. All are available for custom creation and manufacturing in the Arcade marketplace.
