Questions

Everything you wanted to ask

Quick answers about the tools in this category — what they cost, what they need and how they work.

Still have a question? We usually reply within one working day.

Can it design a whole system from a description
Give the AI System Design Generator your users, your expected load and the main things the product must do. It returns the components, how they talk to each other and where the data lives, in a form you can review and edit.

What does the AI Design Pattern Recommender do
Describe the problem you are solving and it suggests patterns that fit, with the trade offs of each. It also says when a pattern is more machinery than your case needs, which saves a lot of work later on.

Should I pick microservices or keep one service
Lay out your team size, deployment habits and how the parts depend on each other, and the AI Microservice Architecture Generator shows what a split would look like plus what it would cost you in operations and testing.

Can it write an architecture decision record
That is the job of the AI Architecture Decision Record Generator. It captures the context, the options considered, the choice made and the consequences, so a year from now nobody has to guess why the system looks the way it does.

Is there help choosing a technology stack
The AI Tech Stack Recommender weighs your requirements, the skills already on your team and how much you plan to run yourself. You get options with reasons attached rather than a single answer handed down without explanation.

Can I put the output into a document or slide
Yes. Results export in TXT, DOC and HTML with one click, so a design writeup goes straight into a review pack. The AI Technical Spec Writer produces the longer version when engineers need detail to work from.

Do I need an account for any of this
No account or sign up is needed. The tools are free with no cost and no trial, and they run as guest tools in the browser on phones, tablets and desktops. Signing in is optional and only saves your history.
