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 tool that makes architecture planning as natural as coding. It features a conversational interface to capture your ideas, auto-generates diagrams from text, and lets you zoom between system views. Connect it to GitHub and AWS, and your architecture docs update automatically with every code push. When you're adding features, it suggests changes that make sense for your system. No more outdated diagrams or architecture that only exists in the CTO's head.

We help startups build software that scales without losing momentum
