What you can do with it

  • Ask an AI agent to write, edit and fix code across a whole project
  • Use the read-only plan agent to explore an unfamiliar codebase before changing anything
  • Hand complex searches and multistep tasks to the built-in general subagent

Make money with it

A freelancer could use it to take on more web or app development jobs in the same time by letting the agent handle routine code.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Speed up building and maintaining a website or app in-house instead of paying for extra developer hours
  • Let a freelance developer deliver client projects faster by automating routine coding and bug fixes

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Install with a one-line curl script, npm, Homebrew or other package managers, or download the beta desktop app.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Needs access to an AI model provider, which may mean paid API keys or a subscription (not stated in the README)
  • The default build agent has full access to your files and can run commands, so use it with care
  • Desktop app is still in beta

graphify Graphify-Labs
Worth a look

Graphify turns a codebase, along with its documents, PDFs, SQL schemas and configuration files, into a graph of connected concepts that you can search and question. It works as a /graphify command inside AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI, so they can look things up in the graph instead of reading every file.

archify tt-a1i
Worth a look

Archify is a skill you add to an AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode. It turns a description, plan or code repository into an interactive HTML diagram or one-page explainer that you can explore and share.
