Start fast

From an idea to a backbone in a minute.

Paste anything you have: a one-liner, a client interview, a PRD draft. KARKAS extracts JTBD, milestones, stack, and a brand-book seed.

From an idea

One sentence. We turn it into a structured project blueprint with a stack picked for your surface.

From a client interview

Drop a transcript. JTBD, persona, and outcomes come out structured and editable.

From a document

A PRD, Notion export, or spec, extracted into milestones, models, and a build plan.

With your team

Invite collaborators, assign tasks, share the backbone. Everyone — including your AI — works from the same map.

One workspace. Full picture.

Write it down.

Structured backbone

JTBD, milestones, domain models, stack, verification. Every product decision in one place your team and agents share.

Tasks with QA gates

AI generates a full backlog from your architecture — with acceptance criteria, test specs, and verification checks that gate status transitions.

Skills + MCP briefing

Custom skills auto-install into Cursor or Claude Code. Agents read your full architecture before writing a line.

Bring your own model

Plug Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or a self-hosted endpoint. Pick the model per chat. Your keys, your bill.

The Backbone

Structured layers,
clear thinking.

From jobs-to-be-done to verification checkpoints, every product decision has a place. Fill in what you know, skip what you don't.

  • JTBD & assumptions
  • Functionality matrix
  • Domain models
  • Tech stack
  • Architecture canvas
  • Verification map
  • Traction & milestones
  • Decisions log

Second Brain

Every decision.
Found instantly.

Docs, meeting notes, architectural calls, and decisions — all linked to your project canvas. Your second brain: searchable, linked, and readable by agents. No more hunting through Slack for what you decided six weeks ago.

Brand & Design

Your taste.
Locked in.

A brand book your agents respect, and a design vault that separates designs from references. Every file is tagged AI-or-human and current-or-stale, so agents don't build from a screenshot you already replaced.

  • Brand book
  • Designs vs refs
  • Like / don't like
  • Actuality flags

Agentic skills + MCP

Your AI, always
fully briefed.

One curl connects Cursor or Claude Code, drops your skills into the right folder, and exposes 40+ project-aware tools. Agents read your architecture, brand, and designs before they write a line.

Tasks & Verification

Build it. Track it.
Ship it.

AI generates a full task backlog from your architecture — with acceptance criteria, test specs, and per-task QA checks. A Kanban board tracks status; verification checkpoints gate every column transition.

  • AI task generation
  • Per-task QA checks
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Verification goals
  • QA backlog view

Co-founder AI

Think with an AI
that knows your project.

Every thread reads your project briefing automatically: mission, models, stack, brand, decisions. Switch to business consultant, CTO, or investor mode. Ask "what did we decide last week?" and get the right answer — from across all your threads.

  • Auto-loaded project briefing
  • Business consultant / CTO modes
  • Cross-thread memory recall
  • Invoke skills with /
  • Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter
