Instantly Analyze Children's Craft Creations with Generative AI and Convert Them into Original Digital Data! Event-Oriented DX Tool "HOKET PALETTE" Launched

HOKET Inc. (Tachikawa, Tokyo), which plans and operates craft workshops, launched "HOKET PALETTE," an experiential system for corporations and event organizers on April 2, 2026. This system instantly converts children's craft creations and drawings, photographed with a smartphone, into digital content such as "statuses" and "profiles" by analyzing their characteristics with generative AI.

■ Background of Development: Adding Digital Magic to Analog "Monozukuri" (Craftsmanship)

Children's diligently made crafts and paintings possess wonderful, unique value in themselves. HOKET has always provided craft events that stimulate children's creativity and enable them to create things they will cherish for a long time.

"HOKET PALETTE" is a system that utilizes the latest generative AI technology to breathe a "worldview" and "story" into these valuable analog works. By seeing their creations appear as "monsters with statuses" or "profile cards," children can develop a deeper attachment to their works.

Furthermore, for companies and commercial facilities hosting events, it not only enhances participants' dwell time and experiential value, but also serves as a powerful tool to foster long-term brand and facility recall after the event, as the generated data is saved on participants' devices, encouraging natural sharing (UGC) on social media.

■ Three Features of HOKET PALETTE

1. No dedicated app required! AI analyzes and presents creations in as little as 10 seconds.

Participants simply read a QR code with their smartphone's standard browser and take a picture of their artwork. The AI analyzes the image's color, shape, and characteristics, automatically generating "strength, attributes, and special moves" to create a unique original card. (*Generated images can be downloaded to the smartphone)

2. Linked with venue monitors! Slideshow function where creations appear one after another.

Completed cards can also be displayed on monitors set up at reception areas or other locations. The joy of seeing their own creations displayed on screen will captivate families, boosting the event's excitement and participants' dwell time.

3. Event professionals provide full support "from planning to equipment setup."

We not only provide the system as a standalone service but also offer it as a "special option" for our on-site craft workshops. Our staff handles everything from preparing craft kits, to ensuring system operation on the day of the event, monitor setup, and troubleshooting in case of issues, allowing organizers to conduct their events with peace of mind.

■ Rich Worldviews (Templates) and Usage Scenes

The design of the output cards can be switched to match the event's theme.

• Monster Status: Children's creations transform into cybernetic monsters with status.

• Profile Card: Diagnoses the personality and favorite things of children's creations to create self-introduction cards.

• Trading Card: Outputs creations framed in a trading card style.

■ Case Study: AI x Craft "Mold Doll" Workshop

As an example of leveraging the AI craft system, we are developing an experience combined with our popular "Mold Doll" workshop.

Participants choose their favorite colors from pipe cleaner materials to create a doll shape, then freely decorate parts like clothing to make an original Mold Doll.
Since each creation produced has a significantly different personality, it pairs well with the AI craft system. The AI's analysis of the finished work's characteristics leads to a new experience of enjoying the individuality of each creation.
