@ralphquintero, we appreciate your support; thank you! Keep checking us out - we are going places!
I have no coding skills and this gives me a TEAM of devs to execute on my idea. Mind-blowing. Will check it out.
@yernar_a Mind-blowing is what we are going for. Let us know how we can help!
@lesley_decanio thanks Lesley, told Archie I’ll check the tool to experiment with my ideas.
BTW I’m also launching today, will be grateful for your support too.
Wow. Wouldn't this be even more awesome if it integrated with Figma & Jira? Send UI/wireframes --> Figma, send requirements & stories --> Jira. That said, it sounds great already. (which kept in sync and updated if data in Archie changed)
@steve1215 Yes!. We will soon be delivering bi-directional integrations with both Figma and Jira. Stay tuned!
@esteban_felipe Wow. Again. ;-) Thanks for the reply. Is there a mailing list / newsletter / Mastodon account I can sign up to?
@esteban_felipe @steve1215 @steve1215 once you Try Archie by running your FREE blueprint, you'll receive notice of product updates and enhancements, including new features like the bi-directional integrations with Figma and Jira, Esteban mentioned. You can also follow @8base on LinkedIn and X (Twitter) to keep track of what's new with Archie.
Congratulations on the launch! What are the available options to export the plan? Is there any option to get the data as Markdown or Notion?
@semanser Hi. Once you unlock advanced projects, you can export content as PDF or Word documents. Look for the icon in the top right corner.
As a non-technical product lead, I had the opportunity to use Archie in various project stages. I am blown away at how empowering and assistive it is.
Archie is a game-changer and I am sure with the team it will only continue to get better.
👋 Hey Product Hunt community and thanks to @chrismessina for hunting us! I'm Albert Santalo, a three-time founder and former software engineer.
Today, I'm thrilled to unveil Archie, an AI Product Architect that revolutionizes software design and planning.

Hey there to all in the Product Hunt realm!
Archie has been a blast to be a part of. Between advocating, AI engineering, and now solution advising, my involvement in Archie has been an amazing experience I'll never forget.
I think the most fun I've had has been all of the conversations I've had with our users and potential users. So many people with so many ideas out there. It's amazing to see Archie used in ways we didn't originally anticipate. Archie was built to take a lot of pain out of the software development lifecycle, but we've also been seeing Agency sales teams leverage Archie to win leads faster and with greater detail, taking that first lead meeting with information and ideas their prospects hadn't even thought of. Really neat!
I made a demo of how to work with Archie, feel free to have a look! https://youtu.be/83gN-HOiwdg
I'm excited to see what other uses you all have for Archie, and can't wait to have even more amazing conversations.
@conniekwan Thanks Connie. It is for sure. It immediately cures writer's block, and for even the most experienced people, Archie comes up with things they didn't think of.
Killer use case and application of AI for breaking through the 0 to 1 phase of ideation & software planning.
@mike_cuesta1 Thanks Mike. As we enter an age when coding with be done by computers, the design and planning UX will power a natural language interface for building software. This is where we are headed.
@mike_cuesta1 One of my favourite sayings when it comes to AI is that "You won't be replaced by AI, you'll be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI to get the job done better and faster." Archie is a perfectly example of a tool that will accelerate you from being a good Product Manager to a great one. A good Sales Leader, to a fantastic one.
Congrats to @albertsantalo and the 8base team for launching Archie!
I've tested Archie's ability to serve as a co-pilot in the pre-dev stage and it's incredibly helpful.
Every founder and product team should use Archie as a resource in the pre-dev stage.
Superpower.
Not every product hunt launch calls for an Aristotle quote, but this one does: "The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold."
Getting things wrong in the pre-development stage, even things that don't seem like a big deal, is multiplied later a thousandfold.
Archie drastically reduces the chances that you'll have those initial deviations.
Congrats again to the 8base team. Onward!
@shelby_stephens, we really appreciate those kind words. We are working non-stop to create a product that can accelerate teams of all sizes.
@albertsantalo @shelby_stephens Love the Aristotle quote and could not agree more. Building awesome products requires at least 5,000 little decisions and any deviation from the path can dictate the success or failure of the product. At a minimum, delays, cost overruns and massive disappointment. Archie allows us to deliver a 100% spec for the first time since the dawn of computing 70+ years ago -- all made possible by generative AI and the work our team has done to build Archie.
@albertsantalo @albert_santalo
Imagine how much pain, misery and wasted money would have been avoided if Archie existed 20 or 30 years ago.
Imagine how much pain, misery and wasted money will be avoided because of Archie moving forward.
It won't be long before using Archie is basically a requirement for anyone building software.
@albertsantalo @shelby_stephens No doubt, Shelby. I've lived that pain all too many times and it's brutal.
For Founders, articulating a vision into a product can be brutal and frustrating. How many iterations and how much cost and time is required to get things right? What does that do to your ownership in the company. What does that do to your family when you are going without pay waiting to launch, secure product-market fit and make money. What does it cost your company when you are working to secure funding to pay for these efforts rather than focus on customer needs?
For larger companies similar problems exist with execs putting their careers on the line to roll out new products.
@albertsantalo @shelby_stephens Love this feedback Shelby, thanks so much. It's true, so much is needed from the planning, analysis and design stages that often steps or diligence is overlooked. We try so hard to keep the project in the "on time, on budget, error free" triangle that things slip. Archie is our solution to have you stop focusing on the time and budget so much and focus more on getting things right the first time.
As a successful entrepreneur , I've been thoroughly impressed with Archie AI builder on 8base. It has revolutionized how I approach new app develpoment, enabling me to automate processes and build sophisticated applications with ease. The platform's intuitive interface and robust integration options have significantly boosted my productivity. Archie is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to leverage AI in their development projects!
@realaurelio Thanks for sharing Aurelio. We hope Archie can help many others like you.
Hi! Looks very nice and I'll probably test with a paid account straight away. Question — you mention 2 full projects with modules in the Professional plan. Does it mean that it's not possible at all to create 3rd project? Or it means 2 simultaneous projects, so if third is needed, one of the existing ones should be deleted/archived?
@vleytman, I'm glad that you will be trying it with a professional subscription. It does include two active projects at a given time. If you need more, they can be added
Congrats Albert and team! This is a fantastic product that will significantly increase productivity and revolutionize the way software is created.
Will this actually sounds like a total game changer! Congrats on the launch and kudos to the team! Upvoted!
Can it handle microservices architecture?
@pavel_bocharov Our Architecture and Planning module is a conversational module with Archie, you start using it by clicking one of the predefined "Generate" buttons and providing context (if necessary), then converse with Archie to make it exactly what works for you. I told Archie to give me a tech stack that facilitates a microservices architecture and got a great response, which I can now fine tune by chatting!
@pavel_bocharov That's a great question. Once your project is unlocked, you can work with Archie in the "Architecture and Planning" module and ask him to assist you in creating a microservice architecture.
Super impressed with the execution on Archie. It's come along way since I first started working with the team on their launch and have arrived at something that is both unique in the marketplace and provides tooling at an entirely new level.
If you want to start a new business, you should start with Archie, as it'll map out everything that you need to do, from your business model through to the application and software you'll need to build.
I can only imagine how much better Archie will get over the next year and beyond.
