Build ecosystems with less, achieve more

In the AI age, you can build plugins, validate ideas, and run entire plugin ecosystems with a fraction of the resources. AI Teammates unlock opportunities that were once impossible—turning efficiency into your competitive advantage.

Validate ideas instantly

Test plugin concepts in hours, not weeks. AI helps you quickly assess feasibility, identify edge cases, and prototype solutions.

Ship with small teams

A team of 3 can accomplish what used to take 10. AI handles scaffolding, boilerplate, and documentation—your team focuses on innovation.

Scale your ecosystem

Support hundreds of plugins without expanding operations. AI helps developers succeed, answers questions, and maintains quality at scale.

AI
AI Teammate is working...

I've analyzed your user research canvas and plugin requirements. I can scaffold the entire plugin structure in ~2 minutes, including auth, API integration, and UI components that match your design system. This would typically take 4-6 hours manually.

Rich context fuels better creation

Canvas doesn't just help you build—it captures your thinking, connects your ideas, and gives AI the context it needs to help you create truly great plugins.

01
Capture

Capture your thinking

Brainstorm in Canvas—user stories, wireframes, flows. Everything becomes rich context for AI.

User research Wireframes Pain points
02
Connect

Connect the dots

Link canvases, reference past projects, connect to docs. AI sees all relationships and understands the full picture.

03
Create

Create with confidence

AI generates code that matches your design, follows patterns, and solves the actual problem.

Context makes all the difference

Compare AI-generated code with and without Canvas context

Without Context Generic AI generation
