A fashion brand uploads 500 new products every week. Each one needs
photography, retouching, a product description, and a detail page formatted for
the platform. That process costs money, takes time, and mostly happens the same
way it did twenty years ago.
Studio Lab, a Korean AI commerce content generation company spun
off from Samsung Electronics, built a platform to automate that entire
pipeline. Its three products — Gency, Gency PB, and Gency
Studio — handle commerce content from the moment a product enters a frame
to the moment a detail page goes live.
E-commerce grew fast. Content production didn't keep up. A small seller
listing 50 products faces the same photography and copywriting problem a large
brand faces with 5,000 — the process was never designed to scale.
71% of consumers expect personalized experiences, and brands delivering
it see 40% higher revenue, according to McKinsey. The gap between what
consumers expect and what most sellers can produce at speed is exactly where
Studio Lab operates.
Most automation attempts addressed one part of the problem — a tool that
writes descriptions, or a service that removes backgrounds. Studio Lab built
the whole chain, from physical shoot to published page, in one connected
platform.
Gency is the foundation — an AI product photography and commerce SaaS
that creates professional product detail pages in 15 seconds from a single
image upload. The AI analyzes the product, writes copy, formats the page, and
outputs something ready to publish. No photographer. No copywriter. No studio
booking.
Gency PB adds the physical layer. A robotic arm with a self-driving unit mimics a
professional photographer — analyzing subjects, adjusting settings, and
capturing hundreds of professional-grade photos 60% faster than traditional
shoots with a single button press. Images feed directly into the content
pipeline without manual handoff.
Gency Studio brings both into retail spaces. It combines AI, robotics, and XR media
art to turn a physical store into both a brand experience and a live automated
product page generation environment running simultaneously — customers
browse while the system produces content in the background.
Together, the three products address the same underlying problem from
different entry points: reduce the cost, time, and friction of producing
commerce content without reducing quality.
Gency Studio improves customer dwell time by 40%, increases brand
awareness by up to 60%, and cuts operational costs by up to 80% from
deployments across commercial fashion brands.
Studio Lab won CES Innovation Awards three consecutive years: Best of
Innovation in AI in 2024, Innovation Award in Robotics in 2025, and Best
of Innovation in XR & Spatial Computing in 2026. The Best of Innovation
designation goes to only about 30 companies worldwide — Studio Lab earned it
twice in three years, putting it in rare company for a startup founded in 2021.
The company is backed by Samsung Venture Investment and NAVER D2SF. South
Korea's President Jae-myung Lee saw a live demonstration of the Gency system in
June 2025 — recognition that the platform's impact extends beyond the retail
industry into broader national digital transformation goals.
CEO Sunghoon Kang describes the mission plainly: automate the repetitive
parts of visual content production so brands of any size can compete on quality
without competing on headcount.
The obvious market is fashion — brands producing high volumes of SKUs on
tight content budgets. But the pipeline applies anywhere visual commerce
content needs to be produced at scale: beauty, home goods, electronics, food
and beverage — anything sold online that needs a photo and a product page.
For individual sellers, Gency removes the barrier of needing a
professional setup entirely. For enterprise brands, it cuts the team and time
needed to publish new collections. For retail spaces, Gency Studio turns a
physical location into a live content production environment without dedicating
staff to it.
The platform doesn't replace creative direction. It automates the
execution — the shooting, the formatting, the page-building — so the creative
work that remains is actually creative rather than repetitive.
