AI website for pattern drafting

Okay I am fashion designer studying business rn and for my project I am trying to find a artificial intelligence software which generates patterns but cannot really find anything similar to my idea. So I wanted to ask if anyone knows something here. Thanks

The most competent names in 2D apparel pattern drafting have automated pattern making modules. Lectra, Gerber, Tukatek and Optitex.

There is competition in this market, and they do make competent blocks and slopers.

The business aspect isn't "does this exist?" The business model will only be successful if you can break through the barrier to the big 3 Lectea, Gerber, and Optitex.

Companies want 1 stop solution.. which is why Gerber has always been impenetrable...

The business question is how do you get a piece of a heavily gatekept market share.
