## Core Features

### Brand Assistant (Beta)

A conversation space inside Vaybel for planning a clothing brand’s next product. Brand Assistant uses Brand DNA, a conversation brief, recent messages, and available workspace resources to explore ideas and find blanks. Continue into Launch Product to create artwork and review the product. This beta does not generate, edit products, publish, or schedule work from chat. Available with active Starter or Growth access.

### AI Product Optimizer

Improve existing listings through the Product, Improve, and Publish workflow. Select a managed listing or import a product from a linked Printful or Printify store. Edit or regenerate titles, descriptions, and tags; compare with the original; refresh mockups and video; and choose fields to publish per channel. Requires Growth access. Search rankings and sales improvements are not guaranteed.

## Platform and developers

### Connect Your AI to Vaybel

Connect a compatible external AI assistant to Vaybel's product tools over HTTP MCP. ChatGPT and Claude connectors use OAuth; developer clients use scoped access tokens. Available actions follow the workspace plan, permissions, credits, and connections. Follow the setup for your client. This is separate from the built-in Brand Assistant beta.

### Vaybel Skills

Official agent skills for operating print-on-demand workflows with Vaybel. Claude Code users can connect the Vaybel MCP server from Settings → MCP, then install the Vaybel plugin from `github.com/vaybel/skills`. The initial skill is `/vaybel:launch-product`, which selects a blank, generates a design, renders flat mockups, and returns Vaybel dashboard links.
