Hi ,

I am new at Watson platform. I have to read many articles to unterstand more about this Ai tool but I have seen a lot of examples of the watson used in different situations but not about helping to develop a manufactured prduct , like furniture, coffee machine... 

My question is ,

 As Watson will have to search online data from other websites, read / reccognize images ,.... Can Watson help to develop a product, (an example a night stand) ?

thank You

IBM Watson can assist in product development in several ways:

1. Market Research: Use Watson Discovery to understand market trends and identify gaps.
2. Design Inspiration: Watson Visual Recognition can analyze trending designs from images.
3. Prototyping: Use Watson Studio for simulating product designs and stress tests.
4. Feedback: Employ Watson Assistant to gather real-time user feedback.
5. Supply Chain: Watson Supply Chain Insights optimizes sourcing and production.
6. Post-Production: Analyze sales and feedback for product improvements.
7. Sustainability: Watson can suggest eco-friendly manufacturing methods.

In essence, Watson offers data-driven insights for product development, but human creativity remains essential for tangible items like furniture.
