Looks very robust! Albert & Team have a track record of creating innovative, thoughtful products hence I'm excited to play around with Archie when it's live.

We've been using this for a while now to help build requirements for our clients and we absolutely love it. Can't believe how we lived without this before. Incredible time saver and it helps us really focus on the work that matters for our clients vs. the tedious task of laying out and setting up requirements.

Hi! Looks very nice and I'll probably test with a paid account straight away. Question — you mention 2 full projects with modules in the Professional plan. Does it mean that it's not possible at all to create 3rd project? Or it means 2 simultaneous projects, so if third is needed, one of the existing ones should be deleted/archived?

Wow. Wouldn't this be even more awesome if it integrated with Figma & Jira? Send UI/wireframes --> Figma, send requirements & stories --> Jira. That said, it sounds great already. (which kept in sync and updated if data in Archie changed)

Congrats Albert and team! This is a fantastic product that will significantly increase productivity and revolutionize the way software is created.

Congratulations team 8base! I know a lot of work went into Archie and the entire platform on which it was built. I"m super excited for the 8base community both old and new to be able to take advantage of your insights into rapid, low-code development! Can't wait to give Archie a look!

Congratulations on the launch Albert and team! This seems like a gamechanger for startups sand SMEs.

When I saw the first screen, I thought "Oh well another ChatGPT generalist product" but I can't tell you how glad I am to know that I was TOTALLY WRONG! Well done guys, Archie is an amazing product and I can't wait to try it out. You guys did a great job. All the best for the launch.

Congrats on the launch! I’m particularly excited about the chat feature. Can users have ongoing conversations with Archie about their project, or is it more of a one-time interaction?

Hey PH Community, ====> Archie does the work of 10 people easily! ====> Is that bull-stuff? No! Archie actually does the work of 100+, but this is a red-pill, blue pill (Matrix) kind of thing. You cannot fully realize the potential until you try it - in 5 minutes you will be like "OMG." If you are a digital product leader at a company, Archie is something you must to go experience first-hand - it will be very helpful to see where your career is headed as an "AI Process Operator." If you are an agency/consultancy leader, you will see how Archie can 2X your EBITDA, help you close more business, compete better, and more. Let me explain why...with a little background for credibility... As a Gen AI Author (The Generative Sales and Marketing Organization - free at adambloom.me), I am quite deep in the Gen AI arena and have spoken to 150+ people and companies about gen AI apps like Archie. And, my venture capital, private equity, and product/service C-level colleagues have given my book strong endorsement along with hiring me to help them navigate the path. (Note, I also worked at 8base while Archie was in Alpha/Beta, etc.) IMHO, after working on custom apps for 25+ years - tiny, midsized, and hyper-scalers - I can say with absolute certainty that Archie re-invents many, many roles. Think about it, it does the work of a team of 3 people who take weeks or months to spit out critically important, strategic deliverables. Now it is done in minutes by one person. It is truly an OMG moment to experience. Gen AI has changed the world, and Archie is a fantastic example. Congrats to Albert, Esteban, and the whole team - well done y'all! Gratefully, AB

As a non-technical product lead, I had the opportunity to use Archie in various project stages. I am blown away at how empowering and assistive it is. Archie is a game-changer and I am sure with the team it will only continue to get better.

A very easy to use app and very helpful in the job. With a very simple appearance, but it can provide many benefits. Congrats for the launch

I design and manufacture useful eurorack modules. Archie has been great resource preparing and updating strategy. In addition it has been a great companion opening and illuminating paths different from the what I normally gravitate toward.

Excellent Product. I was very impressed by the detailed insights and the software's ease of use! I can't wait to utilize it for my company!

Great product, a game changer for this industry, will be utilized soon by my company!
