About us
Print-on-demand let anyone open a shop. But knowing what to make is still a game for big sellers with analysts and expensive tools. We're building the AI agents that end that — starting with Open Trend Radar, a free and open-source trend analyst for every indie seller, followed by the Design Agent, which runs everything after the trend: designs, listings, audits and catalog sync.
We think the next generation of independent brands will be run by one person and a team of agents. We want to be the company that makes that real for print-on-demand.

Founder & CEO
Minh Vương builds AI tools for independent print-on-demand sellers. TheTrendingTee started from a simple gap: big apparel brands have trend analysts, small sellers guess. The goal is a free, open trend radar every indie seller can check each morning.
We're an AI-agent-first company: we run the business the way we build the product. Claude agents do the repetitive work; a person reviews anything that leaves the building.
The same agent that will power Open Trend Radar scans signals every morning and drafts our internal niche report. We use our own product first.
Claude Haiku 5.5 sorts incoming email and signups by topic and urgency, and drafts replies for a person to check and send.
Claude Sonnet 5.5 groups seller feedback into themes each week, so the roadmap follows what sellers actually ask for.
Claude reviews our code changes and keeps the docs current — which matters for a project that will be open source.
Questions, partnership ideas or feedback from your shop — we read everything.
