<p>NEW DELHI: Want to design your own saree or any other fabric faster and with perfect colour combinations? TCS appears to have you covered.</p>.<p>The Indian-origin multinational tech company has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that it says allows customers to create a three-dimensional model of their saree or any other fabric's design.

The system generates it instantly, allowing the weaver to focus on the craft instead of struggling with complex patterns," an executive at the Tata expo booth told <em>DH</em>.</p>.<p>The platform is said to drastically reduce the time needed for design selection and colour combination — from days or weeks to just minutes. It also reportedly helps minimise waste in the handloom sector, where products are often returned due to mismatched designs or execution errors.
