# Welcome to Native.Builder

> Your software factory powered by AI agents — build and ship products faster, for less.

**Native.Builder** (Builder for short) is a **software factory**. Instead of hiring a team or outsourcing to an agency, you describe what you need and specialized AI agents plan, build, and ship real software — saving you **time** (days, not months) and **money** (a fraction of traditional dev costs).

You're not chatting with a generic AI. You're running a production line: each agent has a job, each project moves from idea to live URL inside one workspace.

## Why a software factory?

Traditional software development is slow and expensive. Specs, hiring, sprints, handoffs, revisions — months pass before anything is live.

Builder replaces that pipeline with agents that work in parallel:

| Traditional path                        | Builder factory                               |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Hire designers, PMs, developers         | Agents cover planning, building, and feedback |
| Weeks of scoping before code            | Product Architect scopes in minutes           |
| Sprints and standups                    | Chat, preview, iterate in real time           |
| Agency quotes in the tens of thousands  | Plans from \$20/mo with pay-as-you-go credits |
| Separate tools for design, code, deploy | One workspace from idea → preview → publish   |

## The agents on your line

Each agent is a specialist — like a role on a software team:

| Agent                 | Role in the factory                                                            |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Product Architect** | Scopes features, writes PRDs, makes architecture calls — before a line of code |
| **Builder agent**     | Writes and refines production React code                                       |
| **Task Planner**      | Breaks work into tasks and tracks progress on the board                        |
| **Feedback**          | Captures bugs, feature requests, and product signal for your team              |

New projects start with **Product Architect** so you don't waste credits building the wrong thing. Switch to the **Builder agent** when you're ready to ship.

## What the factory produces

* **Full-stack web apps** — Vite + React, previewed live as agents work
* **Published URLs** — Deploy to `*.nativelyai.app` or your custom domain
* **Real code** — Inspect, iterate, and own the output
* **Team-ready workspaces** — Shared projects, roles, and a single credit pool

## How it's organized

| Concept       | What it means                                                |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Workspace** | Your factory floor — team, billing, and all projects         |
| **Project**   | One product being built — chat, code, preview, publish       |
| **Agent**     | A specialist worker assigned to a step in the pipeline       |
| **Credits**   | Fuel for agent work — you pay for output, not idle headcount |
