I created ArchitectAI towards the vision of higher-level, intent-driven software engineering. You sketch a system design, and the tool interprets components and their relationships to generate working project scaffolding.
The project explores how multimodal LLMs can bridge the gap between visual system design and implementation. You can try it here.
