Doric. Build real software.

AI app builders get you to a demo by Friday. Doric is built for the day after — and the year after. Every feature is bound by a contract, placed on a living map, and backed by the decision behind it — so the hundredth change lands as cleanly as the first. You stay in command, not by reading code but by owning the decisions, while a full R&D team proves every feature it claims.

Browser-native. Click New Project, talk to Phoebe and Theo, and watch a live app spin up — no download, no terminal, no cloud setup.

Your idea, taking shape

Watch your product plan draw itself.

Describe what you want to build. Phoebe and Theo turn it into a living product plan — mission, blueprint, features and specs — and the strategy takes shape as a flowchart you shape together, before any code exists.

The Model surface

Your product, in five lenses.

orders-app · model surface
MISSION

Approvals, without the email chains

Let teams submit, route and resolve requests in one place.

BLUEPRINT

Intake · Approval engine · Delivery

Three modules, with security rules and data-access partitions.

FEATURES

Submit · Validate · Approve / reject · Notify

User capabilities, rooted to the structural domain map.

SPECIFICATIONS

Durable system requirements

The single source of interface truth — change the spec, change the system.

map lens · follow any flow end to end, auto-correlated to the code

Approve / reject request

SHIPPED

An owner approves or rejects a submitted request; the requester is notified and the decision is recorded to the audit log.

One product, five lenses — the same system seen as concept, map, code, spec and timeline, generated from what's actually built. Click through it.

No architectural ceiling

Append the hundredth feature as cleanly as the first.

Software usually tangles and slows as it grows — the model runs out of context and loses the plot. Doric is built the other way. It partitions context per workstream and runs parallel R&D threads, each bound by a strict interface contract, so the system never has to fit inside one prompt window and never loses its shape.

Add capability for years. The blueprint, the contracts and the map hold it together.

Rigor without bureaucracy

A team that holds the thread.

All the rigor of product management, none of the framework to memorize. Three colleagues draw it out through conversation — and dispatch the specialist workers that do the building. Each holds a role, reads the same project, and pushes back when you're wrong.

Product

Phoebe

Turns intent into a spec — mission, features, acceptance — probes the underspecified, and leads you to the next gap one concrete step at a time.

Architect · Verifier

Theo

Flags contradictions, enforces stability, sequences releases, and checks finished work against the evidence. He verifies; he never writes the code.

Builder · Orchestrator

Niko

Decomposes the work, dispatches builder workers across parallel threads, and keeps the map correlated to the code.

The Verifier Principle

Done is proven, not promised.

Stop playing code roulette. A conversational model will narrate doing the work more reliably than it does the work — so in Doric the agent that drafts is never the one that confirms. A deterministic layer commits every change, reads it back, and runs end-to-end sandbox tests before anything counts. Done means boots clean, clicked through, and recorded — never "files written."

orders-app · release r1.4 · verification receipt
✓ boots clean — sandbox start · 0 console errors
✓ clicked through — 7/7 acceptance flows pass
✓ recorded — snapshot #214 · rollback ready
verified by the deterministic layer — never by the agent that built it

A false claim of alignment is worse than an empty document.

Compounding understanding

It remembers why it built your software.

The speed of Day 1 sets up Month 2. Every message, decision and reason is captured and re-read before each step. The chat is the surface; the memory is the product. An agent today reaches everything decided three months ago — so alignment never slips, and each iteration starts smarter than the last.

Stateful by design. A browser tab full of a stateless chatbot starts from zero every time; Doric remembers, and the understanding compounds. Your files stay one click from export — what keeps you here is that every iteration starts smarter than the last.

Every decision, logged

An append-only record of what was decided — and why. Nothing important is ever lost.

Re-read before every move

Each turn loads the project's decisions before it acts, so the team never drifts off-plan.

It compounds

Each iteration starts smarter than the last — understanding accumulates instead of resetting.

Who builds with Doric

For people who build complex products.

The power founder

A full R&D capability, without a team

Direct the work instead of writing the code, and ship the complex product you have in mind faster than a roadmap usually allows.

The product leader

Build it yourself, without waiting

Build the products your org needs — real software, not throwaway internal tools — without waiting on an engineering queue.

The IT & ops lead

Replace the system no one owns

Too complex for no-code, stuck in the backlog. Build the replacement properly — and keep it yours to run.

Why Doric

Twenty things Doric does so you don't have to.

Each one is work you'd otherwise do by hand — or a failure you'd otherwise discover in production. Four of them:

Nº 05

Verified, never narrated

The agent that drafts is never the one that confirms. Without it: the model says it works, and you find out otherwise in production.

Nº 12

Whole-project Time Machine

Snapshot, fork and roll back the entire project state. Without it: stashes and copies that don't capture how it actually ran.

Nº 17

Bring your existing project

Import it and it arrives already mapped and structured. Without it: you start over, or stay stuck where you are.

Questions

What people ask before they start.

What is Doric?

Doric is a browser-native workspace where a product person builds real software — and keeps building it for years — by directing an AI product team. You navigate mission, specs and a living architecture map, never code. The team remembers every decision and verifies its own work.

How is Doric different from Lovable, Bolt or Replit?

Those tools optimize for generating an app fast — and then iterate blind: no architecture map, no record of why anything was decided, no independent verification, and ownership means a repo a non-coder can't read. Doric keeps your software changeable: a living map correlated to the code, an append-only decision log, every change committed and read back by a deterministic verifier, and full export at any time.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You never see code — not even the file structure. You steer through mission, blueprint, features and specs, and the AI team maintains the code and keeps it correlated to what you decided. Architecture stays yours to command; code stays theirs to maintain.

Who owns the software Doric builds?

You do. Your whole project — code, specs, decisions, history — is one click from export at all times, and the apps Doric builds stay portable across clouds, so you can move to your own infrastructure without a rewrite.

Which AI models power the team?

Doric routes each kind of work to the right model — and supports bring-your-own-key: plug in your own Claude, GPT or Gemini key and the entire team runs on it. The engine and the memory are Doric's; the model is rented, so you're never locked to one provider's intelligence.
