Describe your idea. See it built. Ship it.
From idea to launched product in 9 steps
Each step has a quality gate — nothing moves forward until it meets the bar. You stay in control of the vision; aut-o handles the execution.
Why aut-o over other builders
Most no-code platforms don't offer real code export — and migrations cost 3–10×. We don't lock you in.
| Criteria | aut-o | Others (Bubble, Lovable, v0, Bolt, etc.) |
|---|---|---|
| Lock-in & export | Full code export + AI handoff doc. No vendor lock-in. | ~68% of no-code platforms don't offer code export; backend/export often incomplete. |
| Inference cost | BYOI: use your own API keys. We charge platform only. | Inference markup and opaque pricing common. |
| Refactor & evolve | Refactor without restart. Change the idea; we evolve like a dev shop. | Big changes often mean starting over or getting stuck. |
| Where you build | SaaS, in your repo (MCP/API), or other AI agents. Same backplane. | Usually platform-only. |
| Who defines the product | You: idea, user journeys, success criteria. We own the tech stack. | Templates, stack choice, or literal prompt → output. |
Sources: industry research on no-code export and migration costs (2026). Lovable and similar tools: frontend exports; backend and config often require manual migration.
Two ways to build with aut-o
Full autonomy or developer augmentation — both backed by the same scoring engine, knowledge base, and self-improvement loop.
The autonomous product factory
Give aut-o an idea. It researches, debates, architects, codes, tests, deploys — and tells you it's ready. You define the idea and success criteria; aut-o owns the how.
- ✓9-stage autonomous pipeline
- ✓Full code export + AI handoff doc
- ✓Refactor without restart
- ✓BYOI — your API keys, your cost
aut-o intelligence in your IDE
One Bearer token. One config line. aut-o's scoring, tenets, pipeline, and knowledge base — inside Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or any MCP-compatible tool.
- ✓Advisory tools: score, validate, next step
- ✓Orchestrated: run stages, sync GitHub
- ✓Zero IP exposure — SSOT-based planning
- ✓ARC credits — metered, no surprises

What builders say
Founders and developers building real products with aut-o.
"I described a SaaS idea over lunch. By dinner, aut-o had a working prototype with tests and deployment configs. The quality gates caught issues I would have missed."
Jordan M.
Solo founder, fintech
"The advisory council tore apart my assumptions in the best way. Three pivots later, we launched something users actually wanted."
Sarah K.
CTO, health-tech startup
"We plugged aut-o Dev into our existing IDE workflow. The scoring engine keeps our team honest about code quality without slowing us down."

With BYOI (Bring Your Own Inference), you pay API providers directly at cost. See how much you save compared to platforms that mark up inference.
- Inference (3x markup)$75.00
- Platform feeIncluded in markup
- Inference (at cost)$25.00
- Pro plan$29
Estimates based on ~$0.50 average inference cost per 9-stage pipeline run (Claude/GPT-4 class models) and a 3x industry-average inference markup. Actual costs depend on model choice and usage.
