Dipp is a Taipei-based startup that automates workflows between marketing, sales and design teams using AI to speed creative production. Brands set up brand guidelines or upload Photoshop files that dipp converts into editable dipp files, then marketers upload spreadsheets of product data to batch-edit visual assets. The product helps teams produce hundreds of images quickly — brands typically generate 300 to 500 images at a time — and embeds marketplace-specific requirements (file sizes, dimensions, character limits) to automate multichannel assets. Customers include large apparel and beauty brands such as Levi’s, Estée Lauder and Rakuten, and dipp serves clients with high product rotation and catalogs of 500+ SKUs selling across three or more marketplaces. Launched three years ago after the founders moved the company from New York to Taipei via the AppWorks accelerator, dipp has focused on Taiwan and is expanding into Southeast Asia with new clients in Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand. The company is integrating generative AI features — including prompt-driven image drafts and automated design review — and plans to launch those capabilities soon. Dipp recently raised $1.5 million in seed funding and will use the capital for team expansion, especially in R&D and business.
