Building

SmartyColor

Kids describe what they want to color, talk it through with Smarty, and print a sheet of their own invention.

The app
The sheet

A child has a picture in their head. Store-bought books don't have that picture. SmartyColor is the conversation that gets it onto paper.

They type or speak. A character named Smarty turns the chat into a list of drawing details they can edit — add a line, drop one, keep going. When the plan feels right, Make It builds a printable sheet on the same page.

No account is required. Sign-in is only there if someone wants to reopen an old sheet. The drawing model sits behind a provider facade, so the product isn't welded to one vendor. Printer options live in the header, because that's when paper actually comes up.

If they ask for a famous character, it aims for a close look-alike instead of a copy. That's a product constraint, not a slogan.

What this shows

The kind of work this is.

  1. A closed loop

    Conversation, a structured plan, generation, print, and optional history. Not a chatbot taped to a download button.

  2. The model does a job

    AI produces something the child can inspect and change before anything is drawn. The unusual part is the workflow, not a panel in the corner.

  3. An interface for people who aren't operators

    Large type, voice input, one primary action. The same discipline we use when the user isn't a technologist.

  4. Ordinary plumbing

    Next.js on Vercel, optional Supabase. Be inventive in the product. Keep the stack boring.

This is the kind of work we take on — design it, build it, put it in someone’s hands. If that’s useful, say hello.
