Connect Brick

What Connect Brick does

Connect Brick Inc. is a South Korean generative AI company founded in January 2021 and headquartered in Daejeon with an R&D center in Seoul. The company builds visual AI products that automate marketing content creation, anchored by Jector Studio (an AI-powered image generation service for food and beverage menu designs and marketing photography) and FoodStyler (a generative AI service for food service operators), with 500,000+ food service operators reported as users of the platform. The technology stack is built on deep learning and generative AI, with proprietary methods covered by a six-patent portfolio — including a granted patent on customer-customized AI solutions for product advertising and pending applications on text-to-spatial image generation, keyword-based background generation, object detection, domain-adaptation-based object recognition, and game-data-based learning. The company is preparing to launch ShowFit, an enterprise-focused real marketing content product.

Connect Brick operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a self-serve, product-led platform at studio.jector.ai with enterprise field sales enabled by a 'Partner Inquiry' CTA. Its primary customer base is small food and beverage business owners needing low-cost, high-volume visual marketing assets, while ShowFit is positioned to address larger enterprise marketing teams. Strategic distribution channels under development include integrations with LG Electronics' next-generation beam projectors (Biznovator 2024 collaboration) and a supply contract with KT Corporation (2025) that provides commercialization funding and global exhibition support. The company is actively pursuing international expansion through MWC 2025 in Barcelona and GITEX Expand North Star 2024 in Dubai.

The business model is SaaS-based, with subscription or usage-based pricing on the studio.jector.ai platform, though pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct inquiry. Connect Brick is privately held, with a seed-stage funding history (follow-on seed in July 2023) and selected for the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups' TIPS program in October 2023, providing government-backed funding and mentorship. Leadership is concentrated around founder/CEO Hongseok Jang (Huxley Jay).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Jasper: AI marketing content platform generating copy and visuals for enterprise marketing teams. Comparable as an AI content platform for marketing, though Jasper focuses on text/copy generation while ConnectBrick focuses on visual content specifically for F&B.

Broad incumbents

• Canva: Design platform with Magic Studio AI features for marketing content creation. Comparable in enabling SMB marketing content creation at scale, though Canva offers a horizontal design suite while ConnectBrick focuses narrowly on F&B imagery.
• Adobe (Firefly): Creative software incumbent with generative AI image capabilities integrated across Photoshop, Illustrator, and the Firefly platform. Comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping AI image generation for marketing use cases, though Adobe serves enterprise creative professionals rather than F&B operators.

Direct peers

• PhotoRoom: AI-powered photo generation and editing platform focused on e-commerce and SMB product photography. Closely comparable to Jector Studio in serving SMB merchants with automated visual content creation, though PhotoRoom focuses on product photography across categories while ConnectBrick specializes in food.
• Stability AI: Open-source generative AI platform behind Stable Diffusion for image generation. Comparable as a developer-facing image generation platform with comparable model architectures, though Stability AI targets developers broadly while ConnectBrick targets specific marketing use cases.
• Midjourney: Generative AI image creation platform serving creators and marketers with high-quality visual content generation. Directly comparable to Jector Studio's core text-to-image generation capability, though Midjourney serves a broader creative audience versus ConnectBrick's F&B vertical specialization.

Regional players

• Samsung Food: AI-powered food and recipe platform from Samsung focused on the food vertical. Comparable Korean/Asian player in the F&B AI space, though focused on recipe discovery and meal planning rather than marketing imagery generation.

Others

• LG AI Research: Korean AI research division of LG Group developing foundation models (EXAONE). Relevant as a partner-adjacent incumbent in the Korean AI ecosystem and potential integration counterpart via LG Electronics' beam projector roadmap mentioned in ConnectBrick's partnerships.
