Client

Prime Matter Labs, a contract skincare manufacturer. I work there full time as the solo designer on our in-house tech team.

Problem

1. Contract Manufacturers have no way to compare raw material (RM) purchasing data, which results in very little leverage when negotiating with suppliers.

2. Formulation is very labor intensive process, often still done with paper and spreadsheets.

Solution

Rather than building some kind of complex dashboard, I looked into whether we could leverage AI to answer the types of data-related questions CMs would want to ask, and to create and track formulas (yes!) and designed a simple chatbot interface to allow users to do so. CMs can upload their data manually or sync Alchemy with their ERP. Chat answers can be in the form of text or graphs, are saved in a chat history, and can exported to the user’s tools of choice.

Please note this case study is in progress as this work is ongoing.
