The category

Arvad does not replace your judgment. It gives the first version a plan, tests, preview, and cost record your later hires can inherit instead of rewriting from chat.

Clarifying questions before the first build
Plan and tests versioned on the project
Preview URL and cost on the shareable link
Future hires inherit the project, not chat scrollback

Straight answers

Limits stated plainly. No demo theater.

One question

When the build finishes, can you show a teammate the plan, preview, tests, and deploy status without digging through chat?

If you cannot, you still have a chat log. Arvad keeps that work in one workspace.

Keep exploring

Build from description

Describe what you want to build.

MVP in hours

Get a demo out before sundown.

Enterprise

SSO and audit without a long setup.

Ship the first version. Keep the record.

Validate with users. Hire when the codebase already has a clear project record.
