Stack Studio Your AI-Powered Software Architect

What is Stack Studio?

Stack Studio addresses the common issue of 'code-mess' resulting from inadequate planning in software development. It serves as an AI-powered software architect, enabling developers and teams to meticulously plan features before initiating the coding process. The tool analyzes the actual codebase in real-time to provide relevant context.

By leveraging artificial intelligence, Stack Studio automatically generates essential planning documents such as architecture diagrams (including UML and ERDs) and detailed design specifications. This provides teams with a clear, high-level architectural map, facilitating better understanding and collaboration. Furthermore, it identifies impacted files and services, helping to prevent duplication and regressions during development, ultimately leading to more thoughtful and scalable features.

Features

AI-Powered Requirement Definition: Brainstorm features, map system design, and auto-generate technical context grounded in the real codebase.
Automated Architecture & Spec Generation: Instantly creates design documents like UML diagrams, ERDs, and API specs.
Codebase Analysis: Scans the codebase (root folder or monorepo) to map architecture, uncover dependencies, and identify reusable logic.
Guided Feature Planning: AI workspace helps define build goals, explore architecture options, and see impacted files/services.
Cloud-Based Collaboration: Saves designs online for easy sharing, commenting, and team collaboration.
Exportable Context for AI Assistants: Exports clean Markdown context (requirements, diagrams, file plans) compatible with tools like Copilot, Cursor, Claude.
Stack Agnostic: Supports any programming language, framework, or architecture.
