01 / Requirements
Start with approved sources
A plausible answer is not enough. The brief calls for answers grounded in product documentation, for the support team's real workload.
Archful. Your AI architecture workspace.
Design the system. Record why it works this way.
Hand over the requirements, decisions, and open questions, not just the diagram.

Recorded decision
Ground responses in source content
Retrieve relevant context at request time and preserve source metadata for citations. Evaluate retrieval quality before choosing chunk size and top-k.

shape your design.
The support assistant must answer from approved documentation. Follow that requirement into retrieval, source citations, and the handoff.
02 / Decision
Record why retrieval belongs here
That requirement leads to retrieval at request time and source metadata for citations. The decision records why, not just which components to connect.
03 / Review
Leave unknowns visible
Budget, data sensitivity, and deployment constraints are still unspecified. The review identifies those gaps; it does not certify the design.
04 / Handoff
Keep the reasoning in the handoff
The exported report includes the approved-source requirement, the retrieval decision, and the unresolved constraints. The next person gets the reasoning, not just a diagram.
Your technology. Your architecture.
Design around your stack.
Bring the platforms you already use into the picture. Map how they connect, record the tradeoffs, and hand over a design your team can build.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A little more about designing with Archful.
What exactly is Archful built for?
Archful is a workspace for designing AI architectures. Start with a use case, shape a diagram, document the requirements and decisions, and prepare a technical handoff.
Who gets the most out of it?
Solution architects, developers, and consultancies designing AI systems for clients or internal teams. It is particularly useful when several people need to understand the reasoning behind a design.
Can I start from an existing pattern?
Yes. The current library includes customer support RAG, a knowledge assistant, an agent with tools, and document extraction. Each is a reference to adapt, not a certified production architecture.
Does Archful generate or deploy the system?
You make the architecture decisions. Archful provides an editor, reference patterns, deterministic design checks, and exports. It does not generate or deploy infrastructure.
Can I take my work out of Archful?
Yes. Export architecture data as JSON, diagrams as SVG, PNG, or PDF, and handoff documentation as Markdown. The workspace also supports local backups.
How do I get started?
Open the workspace and choose a reference pattern or start a new design. This entry saves work in your browser, not to a cloud account. Export a local backup to keep a separate copy.
What are the Free and Pro plans?
The proposed Free plan includes two active designs and the complete core workflow: diagrams, requirements, decisions, design checks, and exports. Pro is proposed at €29 per month for more active designs, with the same core tools. Its exact design allowance is still being finalized.
When would I need Pro?
Start with Free for one or two architectures. Pro is intended for keeping more client projects or architecture alternatives active at the same time, rather than unlocking the tools needed to finish a design.
Is there a yearly billing option?
The proposed Pro options are €29 billed monthly or €290 billed yearly. Yearly works out to €24.17 per month and saves €58 compared with twelve monthly payments. Free stays €0 on either cycle. Checkout is not available yet.
Can I subscribe now?
Not yet. Checkout is unavailable and no payment is collected. You can use the local demo, which saves work in your browser. The proposed two-design Free limit is not enforced in this demo.
