Getting Started
What Amira is, how the Spec → Build → Deploy → Companion pipeline works, and how to start your first project.
Amira turns a plain-language description of the app you need into a governed, deployed application — backed by your data lake and your policies. You describe the outcome; the platform's agents specify, build, deploy, and maintain it, with a human approval gate at every irreversible step.
The pipeline#
Every application moves through four stages, in order. A human approves each irreversible step — nothing is built from an unapproved spec, and nothing is deployed without sign-off.
The Spec Agent interviews you and produces a builder-ready specification: functional and non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria, a capability graph, and any open gaps or decisions. You iterate in plain language until the spec is complete.
Once a spec is approved, the Build Agent writes the application in a sandbox, wiring in the skills and data sources the spec references. Progress is scored against the spec's acceptance criteria on a live compliance matrix.
With approval, the Deploy Agent promotes the built application to a running URL.
Every deployed application gets a companion agent, so other apps and people can call it as a reusable capability.
Start your first project#
From the home screen, choose New Project.
Type a sentence or two describing the app you need. Or import an existing codebase and let Amira reverse-engineer a starting spec from it.
The agent asks focused questions and fills in the specification as you answer. Keep going until it reports the spec is complete — see Working with Specs for how the interview works.
When the spec is ready, route it for approval. Once it's signed, the Build Agent takes over — see E-signature & Approval.
You don't have to start from scratch. Point Amira at a Git repository or a folder on your computer and it reverse-engineers a starting specification — requirements, a capability graph, and open gaps — that you then refine like any other spec.
