See Cybewave Studio in action

From AI-guided brainstorming to production-ready architecture diagrams — all in one conversation.

See what Cybewave produces

One idea in, a complete technical plan out. Here's a real example.

Your idea

“I want to build an AI scheduling assistant for small clinics. Patients book online, the AI optimizes appointment slots, and doctors get a daily dashboard.”

Cybewave generates
Auth ServicePatient & doctor login, role-based access
Scheduling EngineAI-optimized slot allocation & conflicts
Notification ServiceSMS/email reminders, cancellation alerts
Patient DatabaseProfiles, medical history, preferences
API GatewayREST endpoints for web & mobile clients
Admin DashboardDaily schedule, analytics, revenue view

+ 4 architecture diagrams, 11-slide presentation, and scaffolded codebase

From idea to technical plan in 5 steps

No blank-canvas paralysis. Explain your idea, the AI asks the right questions, and you walk away with everything you need to build or pitch.

01

Brainstorm

Describe your project. The AI guides you through 3–5 structured phases — streamlined for startups, detailed for engineers.

02

Generate

One click creates 4 production-quality diagrams: architecture, sequence, ER, and component in Mermaid and PlantUML.

03

Refine

Edit diagrams with a syntax-highlighted editor. Ask the AI assistant to fix, extend, or restyle anything.

04

Present

Auto-generate an 11-slide presentation from your architecture — tech stack, actors, data model, and all diagrams. Share with investors, cofounders, or your team.

05

Export

Download a scaffolded project with Docker Compose, frontend, backend, database schemas, and API gateway — all wired from your architecture. Start coding, not configuring.

AI Discovery: 3–5 Phases of Clarity

3 quick phases for startup founders, 5 deep-dive phases for engineers. The AI adapts to your project.

PHASE 1

Idea & Overview

Your vision, target users, and what makes it different — in plain English or technical detail

PHASE 2

Users & Actors

Who uses the product? Customers, admins, integrations, third-party services

PHASE 3

Features & Use Cases

Core user flows — the 3–5 features that matter most for launch

PHASE 4

Business & Rules

Revenue model, constraints, auth policies, and non-functional requirements

PHASE 5

Data & Entities

What your product remembers — data model with fields, types, and relationships

Not just software. Any system.
