# Welcome to Archie

> Archie is an agentic platform that turns ideas into production-ready apps. Start with a prompt, shape the blueprint, generate the build.

Archie is an agentic platform that turns ideas into production-ready apps.

You describe what you want to build. Archie generates a structured blueprint — modules, user types, services, integrations, design foundations, and tech stack — and you shape it before any code is generated. Then you pick your build scope and stack, click Generate, and Archie produces a real full-stack application with a database, APIs, hosting, and a global CDN. Every app you build runs on Archie Core, the backend that powers the platform.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Archie?">
    Archie is an agentic AI platform that turns an idea into a production-ready application. It generates a blueprint first — user personas, tech stack, feature map, architecture — then builds the full-stack app from it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to know how to code?">
    No. You describe what you want to build in plain language and Archie generates the blueprint, prototype, and eventually the full application. Technical users can edit the code directly, but non-technical users can build and ship a complete app without ever opening a code editor.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a free plan?">
    Yes. Free is \$0 with no credit card required. You get blueprint and prototype generation with 50 AI credits per month. To convert your prototype into a real, deployed application, upgrade to Pro on [Plans and credits](/introduction/getting-started/plans-and-credits).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I start?">
    The [Quick Start](/introduction/getting-started/quick-start) walks you through your first project from prompt to generated app. If you want to understand the product first, the [Features](/features/home) tab covers Blueprint, Frontend, and Backend.
