# CloudTextiles

> Describe a clothing product in plain English. CloudTextiles says what's missing, matches you with capable apparel factories, and sends an introduction only when you consent.

CloudTextiles is an apparel manufacturing matchmaker for emerging fashion brands. It is free for brands. Factories list for free and pay a small fee only when CloudTextiles introduces new business. Paid placement never changes match scores.

Status: private beta. Factory profiles shown today are illustrative examples while supplier onboarding opens, so do not present them as real, bookable factories.

## How it works

1. **Describe it.** Say what you want to make, in your own words.
2. **See who fits.** Get up to five factories, each with the reasons it suits you.
3. **Get introduced.** Pick the ones you like. Nothing is shared until you say so.

## Evidence levels

Every factory profile states what has been checked, kept as separate claims:

- **Self-reported:** Capabilities submitted by the factory.
- **Identity checked:** Business and facility identity reviewed.
- **Certificate checked:** Certificate reference checked at its source.
- **Site audited:** Independent audit evidence reviewed.

A match is not an endorsement or a production guarantee. Sampling, references, contracts, quality checks, and payment diligence still matter before any order.

## Start a brief with a link

Send a founder to a pre-filled search: `https://cloudtextiles.com/?q=<plain-language brief>`. Example: https://cloudtextiles.com/?q=300%20heavyweight%20organic%20cotton%20hoodies%20with%20embroidery

The page reads the product, quantity, region, fabric, services, and certifications from the text, lists what is missing, and shows three to five matches. Nothing is sent to a factory without the founder's explicit consent.

## AI assistant connector

One MCP connector is in development for ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Grok (xAI), Muse (Meta). It is not live yet. Planned tools: search_factories, get_factory, check_readiness, interpret_tech_pack, request_introductions, get_request_status. Waitlist and status: https://cloudtextiles.com/connect

## FAQ

### What's the smallest order I can place?

It depends on the factory. Tell us how many you want and we'll show the ones that take orders that size.

### Can I use it inside ChatGPT?

Soon. CloudTextiles is coming to ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Muse. Leave your email on the Connect page and we'll tell you when it's ready.
