What good is a century of work you can't search? Decky turns Judson Studios' stained glass archive into a working library: findable in plain language, extendable with AI, and assembled into sales decks in minutes.
In need of an archivist
Craft studios don't have a creativity problem, they have a retrieval problem. Judson Studios has been making stained glass in Los Angeles since 1897, and over a century of commissions lives on as thousands of photographs scattered across folders nobody can search. When a sales conversation needs the right reference, the archive might as well not exist. Decky was built to fix that: an AI platform that turns the studio's archive into a working library, and the library into finished presentations.
The library
The first job was making the archive findable. Decky ingests the studio's image collection and an AI classification system tags every photo automatically: subject, style, technique, location. On top of that sits natural language search, so instead of remembering a filename from 2011, you describe what you need and the library answers. Collections let the team group results by project or theme and keep them at hand.
Watch: The archive, working: a century of commissions organized, tagged and one search away.
Generation
Finding images is half the job; the other half is images that don't exist yet. Decky generates new window concepts in the studio's visual language and can expand an archival photo beyond its original frame, so a decade-old detail shot becomes a full composition that fits the slide.
Every generation happens inside the platform, next to the real work it's based on, which keeps the AI output honest to what the studio can actually build in glass.
From images to decks
The destination is always a presentation. Decky pairs the image library with GPT-driven writing and a slide editor, so a tailored reference package for a client goes from a search to a finished PDF in one sitting. What used to be an afternoon of digging through folders and copying into templates became the fast part of the sales conversation. The interface stays simple on purpose: the complexity runs in the background, on a Supabase backend with authentication, private storage and usage analytics.
Decky is live at decky.org and in daily use at the studio. It was designed, built and shipped solo: React and Supabase, GPT for writing and search, Flux Kontext for imagery, with AI-assisted development doing the heavy lifting.
