The operations layer of your business.

Sign up for free, no credit card. Describe what you need, and Artivex generates a working preview in your browser. The free tier is strictly for evaluation: 1 build, preview only, 100 credits per month, cheap-tier AI models. Enough to generate one system and feel how it works. When you're ready for unlimited builds, custom domains, Sonnet-class models, and production deploy, pick a paid plan.

Lovable and Bolt generate code for technical people who want to build their own software. Artivex is a self-serve platform for businesses that need custom internal tools without hiring developers. The platform builds it, hosts it, monitors it, and maintains it forever. They end at day one. Artivex starts there.

Retool is a builder for developers — you drag, drop, and write JavaScript. Powerful, but you need someone technical on every change. Artivex generates the system from a description and edits it through chat. No JavaScript required.

Airtable is a database with a UI on top — fast for tracking, slow when you need workflows, AI steps, multi-step automations, or a real backend. Artivex is a full system: entities, fields, workflows, AI steps, integrations, REST API, MCP, all generated together.

n8n connects tools but doesn't own the system around them. When the workflow breaks, nobody notices until something downstream fails. Artivex tracks every dependency, alerts on failure with plain-language explanations, and shows blast radius before a change ships.

Different problem in each case. Artivex is for founders who want a real system, generated and maintained, not a builder, a spreadsheet, or a glue tool.

EU by default. Data sits in Supabase EU-Frankfurt with row-level security and tenant isolation at the database layer. Artivex is operated by Corners Sverige AB, a Swedish company subject to EU data protection law.

You get a full Data Processing Agreement on signup, GDPR-compliant by architecture (data minimisation, encryption at rest, audit trail, right to erasure within 30 days of cancellation). Full subprocessor list is published, with 30-day notice on material changes.

For customers with EU-only requirements, an EU-only AI mode routes all AI steps through Mistral (Paris) instead of US providers — opt-in per workspace.

Three things, stacked.

One: every system ships with the infrastructure layer most AI-built tools skip — multi-tenant isolation, structured AppSpec, dependency-aware change management, audit logging, and rollback. The boring layer that decides whether software survives past month one.

Two: every AI step has cost caps, retry policies, fallback providers, and confidence-based routing to a human review queue. Not a prompt fired into the void. Production AI behaves like infrastructure, not magic.

Three: the platform operates the runtime 24/7 — uptime monitoring, error alerting, auto-rollback on regressions. Your tool is built like production software, not a demo.

True for most AI builders. Not for Artivex, and the difference is structural.

Tools like Lovable and Bolt ship you generated code and walk away. You own it. You maintain it. You patch React when the next version ships. Code accumulates debt by nature, hidden coupling, stale patterns, dead files nobody touches.

Artivex is different. Every system is defined by a structured AppSpec, a machine-readable blueprint. Code is generated from the AppSpec and maintained by the platform, not by you. Your artifact is the AppSpec. The code is ours to handle.

Three mechanisms prevent the usual debt vectors:

• Live dependency map exposes every relationship, no hidden coupling
• Preview-before-apply shows blast radius before any change ships, no silent breakage
• Platform updates are one click away, no manual migration, no merge conflicts, no dependency hell

The one source of debt we can't fully prevent is you designing your own entity model badly. Even then, we flag complexity and circular patterns automatically. Technical debt is what you inherit from tools that ship and disappear. Artivex ships and stays.

When you build on Artivex, you don't own a frozen codebase that will rot in 18 months. The platform owns the runtime — workflow engine, AI step framework, dependency map, monitoring, security patches.

When Anthropic ships Claude 5, we update the AI step framework. When Postgres ships a security patch, we apply it. When Slack changes its API, we handle the migration. You never get an email saying "your integration broke, please update."

For the lifetime of your Artivex account, your system stays in working order — we maintain the floor, you focus on your business logic. The maintenance promise is the entire reason this platform exists.

Artivex is for production-grade internal tools and AI automations — custom systems that run a business internally and need to keep working for years. That includes client portals, member dashboards, and anything with logged-in users tied to your operations. That's the sweet spot, and it's where we're genuinely great.

We're not the right choice for:

• Marketing websites or landing pages (use Webflow, Framer, or Wix)
• Native mobile apps (iOS/Android), we build web-first systems
• Consumer SaaS products at scale (multi-tenant billing, plan tiers, coming in V2)
• Games, 3D experiences, or anything requiring a custom game engine
• Hardware or embedded software
• Throwaway prototyping with no maintenance commitment — for that, Lovable or Bolt are faster

If you're unsure whether your idea fits, book a 30-minute strategy call. If it's out of scope, we'll tell you honestly and point you to a better tool.

A build is one complete internal tool, a CRM, a client tracker, a reporting dashboard, an approval workflow. Each build is its own system with its own data, workflows, and interface. Free gives you 1 preview build for evaluation. Every paid tier gets unlimited builds. Credits pace your usage, not build count.

Every plan uses credits, one currency for everything. Free includes 100 credits/month. Starter ($59) gives you 800. Builder ($199) gives you 3,000. Studio ($499) gives you 8,500. Scale ($999) gives you 20,000 — for power users running 10+ builds in production. Credits cover generating systems, editing, AI steps, and automation runs.

If you approach your limit, we warn you in-app and by email at 75% and 90%, never a surprise. Need more? Top-up bundles: 500 credits/$49, 2,000/$169, 5,000/$379. Top-ups are priced above any tier's per-credit rate, so the better path is to upgrade one tier. The ladder (Free → Starter → Builder → Studio → Scale) means there's always a clear next step.

You've outgrown self-serve. Scale ($999/mo, 20,000 credits) covers a lot of ground, but at 100+ active builds or 50,000+ credits per month the right answer isn't a bigger top-up bundle — it's an Enterprise contract.

Enterprise is custom-priced based on your credit volume, includes a dedicated SLA, a direct Slack channel for support, and waits in line for the team primitives shipping in V2 (team seats, SSO, role-based access, folders, centralised billing). Enterprise also supports bring-your-own-key (BYOK) — connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Mistral API keys so AI calls run on your provider contract instead of consuming Artivex credits. Useful for compliance audits, existing volume contracts, or strict data-residency requirements.

Nothing breaks mid-flight. Any automation run already in progress finishes — we don't kill a 5-step workflow on step 3. Once you hit zero, new generates, chat-edits, and new automation runs are paused until you top up or your next billing cycle. A banner shows in-app and we send an email immediately.

Auto-refill keeps you running without interruption. Toggle it on in settings, pick a bundle (500 / 2,000 / 5,000), and set a max-refills-per-month cap so it can't run away. Email confirmation on every refill. Off by default on Starter, Builder, and Studio — we never auto-charge you silently. On by default on Scale (capped at 2 refills/month) because power users running 10+ builds in production can't tolerate workflows pausing.

Pre-emptive warnings fire at 75% and 90% of your limit, in-app and by email, with a projection of when you'll run out at current pace.

Keep the preview as long as you need. Refine your prompt, regenerate, or start over. You only pay when you activate a build. If you never activate, you never pay.

At launch, every build includes native actions for Slack and email (via Resend), plus inbound and outbound webhooks and HTTP requests for connecting to anything else. That means HubSpot, Notion, Google Sheets, Stripe, or any tool with an API works via webhooks today.

Native integrations for HubSpot, Airtable, Twilio, and more are coming soon. Inbound and outbound webhooks ship in V1, so you can wire most external services today.

Yes, and it's one of the best ways to use Artivex. Every tool ships with its own REST API, webhook endpoints, and scoped auth tokens. You can build a CRM, a project tracker, and an invoicing tool as separate focused systems, and wire them together so a closed deal creates a project, which creates an invoice.

One Artivex account, composable tools, maintained together. Cleaner than stuffing everything into a single mega-system, and more reliable than Zapier between SaaS apps.

Yes. Every system you build on Artivex ships with its own MCP endpoint, the open standard for AI-to-tool communication. Point Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client at your system and the AI can query data, create records, trigger workflows, and check dependencies, directly. Scoped tokens control what each AI client can see and do. Full audit trail on every AI-initiated action. One-click kill switch to revoke all AI access instantly.

Cancel anytime. On request we hand over a full export of your entity data (CSV and JSON), your AppSpec (the JSON blueprint describing your entities, fields, workflows, and AI steps), and a snapshot of any frontend code we host for you. Together that is the recipe for your system.

What we don't transfer is the Artivex runtime itself — the workflow engine, dependency map, preview system, MCP server, monitoring, multi-tenant infrastructure. That's the platform. Same arrangement as Airtable, Retool, n8n Cloud, Supabase: you own your data and schema, we operate the runtime.

A competent developer can rebuild your system on Postgres plus a workflow runner from the AppSpec in a couple of weeks. You're never locked in. You just lose what you were paying us for.
