How arch0 works

From plain-English inputs to a complete architecture blueprint in 5 steps.

1

Describe your system

Plain-English wizard

Tell us about your project in everyday language — what you are building, your team size, budget, expected users, and compliance needs. No technical jargon required. The wizard guides you through the key inputs.

Project inputs

  • • "E-commerce marketplace, 10k users year 1"
  • • "Team of 3, all TypeScript"
  • • "$500/mo infrastructure budget"
  • • "Need GDPR compliance"

Guided conversation

Real-time SSE streaming

The AI agent asks clarifying questions, evaluates trade-offs, and builds context about your system. Responses stream in real-time — you see text and tool executions as they happen.

Manifest + validation

Completeness score

The system generates a structured manifest capturing every decision. A completeness score shows coverage across all architecture dimensions — no gaps left behind.

Blueprint generation

11 deliverables

The agent generates all deliverables — executive summary, diagrams, cost estimates, ADRs, compliance checklists, and more. Each deliverable passes a schema validation gate.
