Build and ship something real.
Just by asking.
Founder gives your coding agent the skills to turn an idea into a product—and asks the questions you didn’t know to ask.
A plugin for your coding agent. Claude Code now. Codex coming soon.
Free toolkit · Your own AI plan · Keep your editor
Build your idea. Build it right. You do not need to arrive with a perfect brief or know all the technical words. Describe the thing you wish existed. Founder helps your agent work out what to build, what to ask and what to check.
The questions are part of the product. Who is it for? Who can see the data? What happens when something fails? Founder brings product, design and engineering thinking into the conversation. Hosting is your choice when you are ready to put it online.
A simple request becomes a brief, a design, a small build and a set of checks. You can follow the decisions and change your mind as you go. Example SaaS app: a workspace for small teams. This workflow is illustrative. Learn more

Then the agents can build: Add team invitations with Admin and Member roles and bring it back for your preview.
Works inside Claude Code. Keep the editor you already use.
The work involves more than writing code. Founder helps your agent define the product, design the details, build with checks and prepare a release you can review.
Find the questions worth asking. Turn a rough idea into a clear brief. Think about the first customers, the edge cases and what success looks like.
Design is reviewing
Team invitations · all states
Review the design
Keep feedback with the task
Build the parts people actually need. Give your agent the specs, design guidance and tests to work through one useful feature at a time.
DevOps · after your release request
Orbit SaaS · preview approved
Check it. Preview it. Put it online. See what was built, ask for changes, then request a release. Founder hosting is there when you need it.
The toolkit is free without hosting. Skills help your agent plan the work, design the screens and check the implementation. Current support is Claude Code, alongside the editor you already use. Your AI subscription is separate.
Who can access the data? What happens when a payment fails? How do we recover after a bad release? Founder brings those questions into the conversation—before they become problems for your customers.
A page can look finished while its permissions, errors or release process still need work. Founder gives your agent rules and checks for those details. These panels are examples, not a live security report.
Check the important paths. Your agent checks sign-in, permissions and secrets against the relevant rules.
Make release a separate decision. A preview lets you inspect the work. It does not count as permission to release.
Test what must be blocked. For this SaaS example, members cannot invite teammates and expired invitations fail.
Keep your hosting choice. Use the free toolkit locally. Choose Founder hosting or make your own hosting arrangements.
Same coding agent. The same idea. Founder adds specialist roles, shared skills and a path from your first question to a reviewed release.
Your request
“Build me a SaaS app where teams can invite members and manage their workspace.”
A capable agent. You shape the workflow.
Start a conversation
Claude can explore your idea, ask questions and suggest a plan.
Set the process
You can ask for product requirements, design options and acceptance checks.
Carry the context
Provide your project conventions and decide what should happen next.
Your agent, with a product team’s process.
Product lead → you
Who can invite a teammate? What can an Admin do that a Member cannot?
Product lead → design
Turn the agreed scope into screens, including expired invitations and error states.
Design → product lead
Review the design against the brief. Resolve open questions before the build.
Example workflow. Claude can also follow a process you provide; Founder packages the roles, skills and checks so you don’t have to assemble them yourself.
Your code stays in your repo. Plans and decisions stay with the project. Build locally, preview the result, and ask to put it online when you are ready. These tabs illustrate the stages; they do not deploy anything.
An illustrative SaaS invitation feature. Roles and skills guide your active agent; delegation depends on the task and your coding tool. Preview comes before a separate release request.
“Start with team invitations. Only admins can invite people. Design the pending, expired and already-joined states.”
Use the full toolkit without buying hosting. Start with a free app when you want to go live. Paid plans add room to grow, always-on hosting and your own domain. Your AI subscription stays separate.
