Startups need to focus on building, but skipping architectural planning creates technical debt that eventually becomes a roadblock. While AI has lowered the barrier to generating code, architecture planning tools haven't kept pace, they're either too complex for small teams or too basic to be useful. This forces small teams to choose between bogging down in documentation or accumulating technical debt that will haunt them as they scale.

We're building a simple tool that helps startups plan before they code, without slowing them down. It features a conversational AI interface to refine your ideas, automatically creates diagrams that stay in sync with your text descriptions, lets you zoom between high-level and detailed views, and connects directly to your AI coding tools. We're making architectural planning feel as intuitive as writing code, so your apps have solid foundations that can grow with your business.

We help startups build software that scales without losing momentum
